We discuss three emotion-themed topics: The Left’s Grinch problem; the prevalence of PTSD and other war-related trauma in Israel; and the effect of screen culture on Israeli kids.

We discuss the historic new arrangement at the Western Wall; the hubbub over a new edition of an Israeli civics textbook; and the anti-Israel LGBTQ protester.

We discuss the “NGO Transparency Bill”; the alarming deterioration of trust between Jewish and Arab Israelis; and whether it’s time to kill off the Labor Party.

We discuss right wing moles infiltrating human rights organizations; the “extra-judicial killing” of terrorists; and the decision to try a performance artist who defecated on the flag.

We discuss Palestinian condemnation of Palestinian violence; the hold philanthropists have on the institutions they fund; and the politics of “intersectionality.”

We discuss the banning of a book from the high school curriculum; a positive slant on the events of the past year; and whether you can embrace Gay politics from the right.

We ask whether reports of Israel’s demise are exaggerated; why so many of the Jewish terrorists in Israel carry American passports; and whether the historical powerlessness of the Jews makes Israelis thuggish.

We discuss the furor over Breaking the Silence; the shockingly high suicide rate among immigrants to Israel; and a feminist Mizrahi activist taking “Big Brother” by storm.

We discuss how Israeli cities should award housing tenders; Arab MK Ayman Odeh’s tour of America; and Israel’s lackluster participation in the Paris climate conference.

We discuss the legacy of Yossi Sarid, longtime leader of the “peace camp”; Amir Peretz’s potential ‘Mizrahification’ of peace; and a new movie about a “third way” to peace, inspired by Rav Froman.
