Rockets and missiles from the south and mob violence most everywhere else: Why did Israel just dissolve into bloodshed? How do you celebrate the “reunification” of Jerusalem (and how don’t you)?

Who or what is to blame for the deaths at Mount Meron? Is “family-uber-alles” the only value shared by all Israelis? What does it mean when Palestinian citizens of Israel use the term “ethnic cleansing” to describe parts of their experience?

Why are parts of the center-left hoping to see the head of the Yamina party as our next PM? What and who are behind the violence and demonstrations in Jaffa? Why does Hebrew touch us in the most intimate ways in the most intimate places?

Is a government that includes the right, left and center what Israel needs right now? How much attention should we pay Kahanist MK, Itamar Ben Gvir? Does what we Israelis wear tell us something about who we are?

Seventy-three years in the making, a podcastilogical celebration of Israeli Independence Day!

Was the President right to ask the PM to form the next government? Is it hypocritical of Netanyahu to form a coalition with the support of the Islamist Ra’am Party? What do we need in our new president?

Is a law to disqualify Netanyahu from forming a gov’t kosher? What to make of robot soldiers patrolling the Gaza border? What’s the biggest Jewish museum in the world have to tell us about what it means to be a Jew?

What should we make of the surprising success of the Islamicist Ra’am party? The Kahanists in the Knesset? The better-than-anyone-predicted showing of Blue & White? The relative failure of the right-winger Gideon Sa’ar and Naftali Bennett? The relative success of the Labor Party and Meretz? The stalwart centrist Yair Lapid?

What are we to make of the election campaigns now drawing to a close? How are American political consultants affecting Israeli politics? Is “internal migration” a key to understanding what Israel is all about?

Why has the number of Israelis who think Netanyahu is most fit to be PM tumbled over the past few weeks? Why don’t Israeli teens trust other teens different than they are, and what can be done? Is there a special, nuclear-grade misogyny reserved for tough, brash, in-your-face, Mizrahi women leaders today?
