Description

Allison, Don, and Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance, and end with an anecdote each about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
 
#Israelex: Picking teams
We discuss the the Labor Party’s efforts to bring all the center-left parties, save one, under its wing. Can the Livni-Herzog rotation really work? How long can the center-left stay on the good side of the ultra-Orthodox?
Spotlight on the leaders who impact our world: Moshe Feiglin
Moshe Feiglin, the man challenging Netanyahu for leadership of the Likud, wants to annex the territories but make marijuana freely available to us all - an odd amalgam of views. We ask: What makes Moshe Feiglin tick?
Privatizing BDS
20 great American scholars, leftist Zionists all, want to sanction individual politicians (like Naftali Bennett) who sustain the occupation. We ask: Are 'personal sanctions' are a good idea. Do desperate times call for desperate measures?
