We discuss the centennial of the Balfour Declaration which was controversial then and remains so today, the assertion of some leaders of Meretz that the party is no longer Zionist, and a Supreme Court ruling allowing stores to stay open on the Sabbath.

We discuss President Reuven Rivlin’s warning that Israeli democracy may be imperiled, presumptive leader of the left Avi Gabbay’s shift to the right, a feminist Member of Knesset who suggested that kids might be better off if there were no marriages or nuclear families.

We discuss the historic reconciliation between Fatah and Hamas, the decisions by the US and Israel to bolt from UNESCO, and an ultra-Orthodox rejection of the market economy.

We discuss a documentary series about armed female settlers, a university managing a prison, and whether Jewish pride means Zionism has failed.

We discuss the reduced sentence of the IDF soldier who killed a subdued Palestinian attacker, the morality of Israel’s weapons industry, and twenty new museums in Israel’s development towns.

We discuss the a public opinion poll that serves us up a mess of conflicting opinions, young settlers rejecting the nationalism of their parents, and which of our collective sins should most occupy us on this Yom Kippur.

We discuss the Supreme Court’s rejection of allowing religious exemptions from army service, the desertion and collapse of malls in Israel, and the most important events and people of the year 5777.

We discuss the reality-TV foibles of the First Family, the leftist “New Likudniks” taking over their party, and why animal rights resonates with Israelis.

We discuss a video of IDF soldiers searching a West Bank Palestinian home, PM Netanyahu’s conversations with the Yisrael Ha-Yom newspaper, and the fate of the Israeli sex industry.

We discuss the brouhaha over whether protestors can demonstrate against the putative corruption of PM Netanyahu, a new website containing all imaginable data about Israel’s schools, and the suggestion that Israel needs to change the name of our airport.
