Description

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Check out this week's extra segment! --A Pax on Both Your Houses-- We’ve read US President Trump’s Deal-of-the-Century peace plan, and our considered reaction is, “WTF?!?” --Not Immune-- Prime Minister Netanyahu withdraws his request for immunity, and is formally charged with bribery, fraud and breach of trust. Now what? --Homeward Bound-- Did Vladimir Putin just make Bibi Netanyahu his bitch? --“I moved to Israel with hopes of peace. Trump’s plan is the nail in that coffin.”-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we discuss an essay in The Forward by our friend and colleague Dahlia Scheindlin, headlined, “I moved to Israel with hopes of peace. Trump’s plan is the nail in that coffin.” What do you say to a friend in such despair? All this and the music of anna RF! --Music-- anna RF Mabruk Salam Called you Zion (featuring Yonina & Haim Laroz) Tshuva ten gaz Olam Katan
