Description

Allison, Don, and Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance, and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
 
2 States, 1 Homeland?
There's another peace initiative proposing two states – Palestine & Israel – with no borders to separate. Palestinians  will settle in ancestral homes in, say, Haifa. But, they live in Palestine but vote and pay taxes in Israel. Can such a scheme work in practice?
Israel’s Other Crisis
Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon’s unveiled new proposals to solve Israel’s housing crisis. The proposals include a variety of measures all aimed at jimmying the free real estate markets.
Uncultured Wars
Minister of Culture and Sport, Miri Regev isn't a hometown favorite right now. She threatened to pull government funding from just about anything that offends her sensibilities. Furious artist types organize against what they call "anti-democratic censorship".
 
All this and a tribute to an Israeli cultural landmark, the hip-hop & rap radio show Jigga Juice, on the occasion of its fifth birthday!
