Noah Efron, Don Futterman and Times of Israel Ops & Blogs editor Miriam Herschlag discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
The Solidarity Singularity
Has the time come for Israel’s Jewish (and Zionist) left to join forces with Israel’s Arab (and anti-Zionist) left? If so, how?
Scholars’ Dolour
The Association for Israel Studies is in a tizzy about an academic journal issue that some think crosses the line from scholarship to propaganda. Is “pro-Israel scholarship” an oxymoron?
What, We Worry?
Israelis worry less about global threats – from climate change to cyberattack and beyond – than anyone else in the world. How come?
Left Wing or Right Wing?
For our most extremely generous Patreon supporters, we discuss in our extra-special, special extra segment a new web series about the differences between left-wingers and right-wingers. It’s all in good fun, but is it also saying something serious about the state of our politics and our collective soul?
Music
All this and the impressive, transgressive, expressive hip-hop collective, Hulon Imperia:
- From Here to There / Mipo Lesham
- Bahur Ragish
- Ze Loop
- Hulon is Atlanta
