We discuss the tragedy of a government official who killed himself after being the butt of a Facebook rant; the legacy of leaving Lebanon; and Isaac Herzog.

We discuss Netanyahu’s odd ministerial alchemy; how religious Israelis are; and the 65-year-old Israeli woman who’s just given birth to her first child.

We discuss the BDS bummer on American campuses; whether Negev Bedouins will have to make way for the Jews; and an ode to Jerusalem, unified and disunited.

We discuss the Ethiopian race protests; what we can expect from the new coalition; and the Breaking the Silence report on last summer’s Gaza war.

We discuss making Israeli boycotters liable; new findings that Israeli women are more hawkish than men; and whether Judaism will survive Israel.

We discuss the behavior of former PM and President Shimon Peres; learning to love Israel’s culture wars, and celebrating Israel in the age of ambivalence.

Should the center-left consider joining a coalition led by PM Netanyahu? How do we feel about biometric passports? And how we should remember the Holocaust.

We discuss how leftist Israelis ought to react to the framework agreement on Iran nuclear; the decline of hiking in Israel; and the decline of protest music.
