Description

Allison, Don and Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
 
Israel’s Supreme Court: Democracy’s BFF or Frenemy?
We discuss a spate of Supreme Court decisions that leave right-wing politicians sputtering about judicial overreach, which in turn leaves left-wing politicians sputtering about right-wing court bashing, and leaves everyone accusing everyone else of breaking Israeli democracy.
 
Peace Now, Still?
The decline of venerable anti-occupation activist group Peace Now, as its leader for the past 14 years resigns in a huff.
 
This is Your Brain on Shoah!
One high school’s decision to quit making trips to concentration camps in Poland, because of the lousy lessons kids get from them.
 
All songs by David Peretz, in honor of his pretty lovely new album, Eretz she-lo Sham, that judy dropped on Bandcamp.Ashan Ha-ZmanEretz she-lo ShamMakom be-TochiTfillah Le-Nos'im be-Sheloshah Metosim
