Description

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and Wunderkind critic Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. --What Gantz Wants, or Is Gantz a Shvantz?-- Benny Gantz promised one thing -- ONE THING! -- in the last election campaign: that he would never, ever join a government under Prime Minister Netanyahu. So why’d he change his mind, at the cost of losing his allies, angering his voters, and leaving the center-left in splinters? --Econoclasm-- Israel’s most venerable political scientist says that the coronavirus will kill off the country’s neo-liberal economic policy and nudge us towards social democracy. Does he have a point? --Our Favorite Funny, Creative Posts & Tweets at this Moment of Crisis-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we talk about our favorite posts and tweets, as this moment of crisis releases a flood of humor, creativity and heart. All that and the rhythm and blues of Roee Lavan!
