We discuss whether we really were that close to a peace agreement 8 years ago; backroom deals in the Knesset; and whether the IDF is become a religious person’s institution.

We discuss PM Netanyahu’s recent attempts to fix relations with American Jews; bickering about EU stickering; and what happened in Paris.

We discuss new polls highlighting the mutual dislike between Israeli Jews and Palestinians; the abandonment of agriculture; and efforts to dictate to army radio.

We discuss increasing support for dividing Jerusalem; a proposal to slice Israel up into two states; and how the Internet has changed Israeli politics.

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.
