Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron and Wunderkind critic Ohad Zeltzer-Zubida discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.   --Gradually, and then Suddenly
-- Who killed Israel’s Labor Party?   --Art or Death
-- Should the government support the arts like it supports the hospitals and the army, because art is an existential need no less important than health and defense?   --Pandemic & Patriarchy
-- Is the pandemic the best thing ever for patriarchy? Has the time come for “feminist civil disobedience”?   --What’s It Like Celebrating Memorial Day and Independence Day Under Corona-Lockdown
-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we talk about what it was like to celebrate memorial day and independence day, under corona-lockdown. Hint: kind of delightful, and weirder than weird!   All this and Adi Shaham!
