Linda Gradstein and Noah Efron talk about: 1) a Hebrew University poll finding that eleven out of twelve Israelis think that Iran “won the war”, and 2) the eviscerating new movie, “Yes”, by Israeli director-in-self-imposed-exile Nadav Lapid, who despite his criticism of Israel and Israelis was BDSedly hounded out of next week’s Marseille International Film Festival (for which discussion we were joined by novelist and Jerusalem Post film critic Hannah Brown!).

For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: New York City’s next delegation to Congress will be the most anti-Israel ever. What can you say to that?

Plus: Fifty years of the Reshet Gimel pop radio station, meeting Landsmen in Milan, Yakov Agam and more than you probably ever wanted to know about the Tel Aviv-Yafo city council! Plus, songs from the stunningly beautiful and moving forthcoming record by Ayalah Asherov and Yehoshua Sobol, Ha-Zman ha-Zeh.
