Description
Chair of Tel Aviv University’s Dept. of Public Policy Alon Tal, Allison Kaplan Sommer, and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Avoidably Detained The Shabak holds up journalist Peter Beinart at Ben Gurion Airport for a “cautionary conversation” about the perils of anti-Occupation activism. Are we sliding swiftly down a slippery slope? Unsettled Haaretz says all we need to do to implement a Two-State solution is to resettle 9,800 Jewish families. Have we overestimated how much Settlements are a barrier to peace? Faded Green? Is it time to stick a fork in Israel’s Green Parties? Extra Segment: Prank Call for Democracy For our primo Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we discuss a recent bit of dada political prankerism by political activist Boaz Cohen, who published on social media the private phone numbers of all 120 members of Knesset, creating for MKs days of havoc, trolling, pranks, and perhaps too-direct-democracy. Did Cohen cross a line, we’ll ask, or is this 21st century Abbie-Hoffmanism just the sort of shaking up that our politicians need? Music Ori Mark, ‘cause this is journalism!
