Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and wunderkind critic Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

Unsettled!
Settler leaders oppose Israel’s annexation of any towns in the West Bank? Is this bizarro world? Are dogs cats? Is up down?

Through American Eyes
Why was Bernie Sanders the main speaker at this week’s big anti-annexation demonstration in Rabin Square?

Virtually Palestine
What do we have to learn from virtual visits to virtual Palestine on our smartphones?

The Knesset Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality: It’s a Man’s World
For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we discuss this week’s dumbass appointment of a male MK named Oded Forer to head the Knesset Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality. Another glass ceiling shattered? Another frontier tamed for the be-penised and betesticled  among us? In short: Men, Is there nothing we can’t do?
