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. Click here to listen to this week's extra-special, special extra patron-only segment --But What Future?-- What does the Greek-tragic struggle over leadership of the Yesh Atid (“There is a Future”) party say about the future of our politics? --Disobedient, Sure! But Is It Civil?-- A former Israeli Foreign Minister calls for “civil disobedience” against the government’s coronavirus rules and regulations. Has he crossed a line? --Bestirred-- What events and people mattered most in Israel over the Jewish year now drawing to a close? --The Arrest of Shoshke Englemayer, The Alter Ego of Artist Ze’ev Englemayer-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we discuss the arrest last week at the Balfour protests of Shoshke Engelmayer, an alter ego of artist Ze’ev Englemayer, who is a an utterly naked, Outré, bevulva-ed, bare-breasted, lipsticked, bespectacled blond. Shoshke was arrested, absurdly, for ‘sexual harassment’, but we’ll try to understand who she is and what, by her very way of being in the world, she says to us and about us. All that and songs by the happy, hip-hop collective, Shazamat!
