Description

Allison, Noah and Tel Aviv Review host Gilad Halpern discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Saving us from ourselves? We ponder with angst the decision of the director of human rights group B'Tselem to implore the UN Security Council to act forcefully against Israel, in order to bring about an end to the Occupation. Women’s ways of protest The Women Wage Peace organization just finished their spectacular two-week "March of Hope." We consider the notion, put forth by some of the leaders of the march, that women seek peace in ways likely to be more effective than men. On the internet, everyone knows you’re a d*ck! Why did so many Israelis "unfriend" compatriots on Facebook during the 2014 Gaza War? A new study attempts to answer this by claiming that the social network forces us to present our authentic selves on line, letting folks know we hold views they find abhorrent.   All songs by Deaf Chonky:  Social Security Gozalim Shirley Kontrol
