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.   Non-Judgmental The Supreme Court rules that Benjamin Netanyahu is allowed to form the next government, and serve at its head, even though he goes to trial in two weeks for bribery, fraud, and breach of trust. Why? What’s it mean for our future?   Newton’s Third Law of the Coronavirus? Is Israel going from being super cautious about coronavirus to not being cautious enough? Are we running amok to normality?   Solidarities Israelis raise money to support a British woman suing Israeli young men who assaulted her in Cyprus. Why?   The Fear of a Quick Exit For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we talk about what it feels like, at this moment, to be going through the quick exit from quarantine that we are all going through here.   All that and songs by Galli Allon!
