Description
Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and Don Futterman discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

The Feynman-Levy Conjecture A feminist, social-democratic party with no position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict may emerge from upcoming elections as king-makers. Is that a good thing? Can AIPAC Save America From Itself? For our most extremely generous Patreon supporters, we discuss in our extra-special, special extra segment the big AIPAC cotillion, paying special attention to three remarkable essays about it, one in the Times, one in the Forward, and the third in Haaretz (by our own Allison Kaplan-Sommer).
