Miriam Herschlag and Noah Efron discuss (1) the thinking behind the Prime Minister’s decision (and his “Security and Diplomatic Cabinet”) to extend and intensify the war in Gaza, and (2) the thinking behind the “national strike” called by some hostage families, intended to bring the country to a halt next Sunday.
Plus, Comfort, Kabbalah, Kohellet, Coltraine and Codeine early on a Friday morning, artistic collaborations between Israelis and Gazans, and plant-whispering grad students. And more old music made new!
For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Former Speaker of the Knesset Avram Burg calls for a million Jews to sue Israel for war crimes in an international court. How the hell did we get here?

I would really love to help support this chance to meet organization that you spoke about. I looked all over the Internet and couldn’t find anything. Can you share it’s website? I’d love to donate.
Hi Tiffany, if you’re referring to the org Miriam referenced, Chance to Meet סיכוי להפרש, it seems like their online presence is purposely under the radar. I had tried to find more details for you but too found very little available. I’ll check in with Miriam to see if she has more info.

Thank you so much Itai.
