Allison, Don, and Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance, and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
Peace by the numbers
A new poll commissioned by the energetic, leftist think-tank Molad, suggests a new strategy for ending the right’s grip on power and, in time, for ending the occupation and achieving peace with the Palestinians. We ask what these new numbers add up to.
A new (leftist) saviour to rise from these streets
There’s a buzz in the sidewalk cafes of greater Tel Aviv this week, as we saw politic’s future and its name is General Gabi Ashkenazi. Is he our “Great White Hope”? Or is “Great White Hope-ism” the religion of fools, and are those fools us?
This land is your land, this land is my land
We discuss the bill proposed by Labour MK Danni Atar, which would grant traditional agricultural settlements effective ownership over 90 percent of their lands, while requiring them to fork over the remaining 10 percent to nearby development towns.

Lol, you three are so funny! As you shout over each other, you call Abbas “the Palestinian leader,” “the Palestinian Authority,” “the ‘rejecter’,” “non-violent,” “a condemner of terror,” yada-yada-yada. What you don’t call him is what he actually and truthfully IS. He is a tyrant, a dictator even, who terrorizes “his” people in order to rule them. His sham “elected” term of office expired 9 January 2009, over SIX years ago! So, lol, try vocalizing THAT for some “honesty.”
