We discuss three essays by former Israeli Ambassador to the US Michael Oren; the UN report on last summer’s Gaza war; and Tel Aviv-Jaffa Mayor, Ron Huldai.

Today’s topics include a “two state, one homeland” solution, the seemingly everlasting housing crisis and the sensitivity of our Minister of Culture/Sport.

We talk about the price of hatred, the policy of hatred, and sex segregation in high schools.

We discuss the Palestinian move to suspend Israel from FIFA; the IDF soldier charged with eating a ham sandwich; and the Israeli attitude to David Blatt.

We discuss the tragedy of a government official who killed himself after being the butt of a Facebook rant; the legacy of leaving Lebanon; and Isaac Herzog.

We discuss Netanyahu’s odd ministerial alchemy; how religious Israelis are; and the 65-year-old Israeli woman who’s just given birth to her first child.

We discuss the BDS bummer on American campuses; whether Negev Bedouins will have to make way for the Jews; and an ode to Jerusalem, unified and disunited.

We discuss the Ethiopian race protests; what we can expect from the new coalition; and the Breaking the Silence report on last summer’s Gaza war.

We discuss making Israeli boycotters liable; new findings that Israeli women are more hawkish than men; and whether Judaism will survive Israel.

We discuss the behavior of former PM and President Shimon Peres; learning to love Israel’s culture wars, and celebrating Israel in the age of ambivalence.
