Don Futterman, Noah Efron and Human-Rights Attorney, Emily Schaeffer Omer-Man discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

Left Behind?
Are two parties on Israel’s left better than one?

Right Fever

The Case That’s Testing Israel’s Courts
For our most extremely generous Patreon supporters, we discuss with star Human Rights attorney Emily Schaeffer Omer-Man, the Ministry of Interior’s efforts to deport Omar Shakir, Human Rights Watch Director for Israel and Palestine, on the grounds that, by supporting BDS, he is working for Israel’s destruction. The case reached the Supreme Court this week, sort of.
