We discuss the struggle over Rabin’s legacy; why so many Israelis don’t believe Rabin was killed by Yigal Amir; and where we’d be now if Rabin had lived.

We continue our discussion of the “knifey, stabby” times we’re living in, plus we talk about Israel’s rape laws, and the partisanship of environmentalists.

We discuss the violence that has engulfed us: What has this week been like for us as parents and as people? What do Israel’s right and left make of it all?

We discuss whether we’re headed toward a third intifada, racism in our children’s schools, and why women shopping at sperm banks prefer soldiers’ sperm.

We discuss plans to create an “Israeli Republican Party,” a controversial new ambassadorial appointment, and the “charm offensive” of Israel’s settlers.

We discuss how we should punish stone-throwers, whether do-gooders have turned capitalism into a dirty word, and Natalie Portman’s directorial debut.

To mark the Days of Awe, we ponder the state of religion & irreligion, spirituality & superstition, creed & cult in the Jewish State.

To hell with what folks think about Israel!; the beginning of the end of the Rabbinate; why leftists spent this year mad, muttering, and morbidly depressed.

We discuss the viral video of an Israeli soldier grappling with a 12-year-old boy; the Left’s “first-rate leadership failure”; and getting kids to take high level math.

We discuss a new poll on peace and the occupation; whether Gabi Ashkenazi is our “Great White Hope”; and a new bill on land ownership for kibbutzim and moshavim.
