Description

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. --Unsettled!-- Settler leaders oppose Israel’s annexation of any towns in the West Bank? Is this bizarro world? Are dogs cats? Is up down? --Through American Eyes-- Why was Bernie Sanders the main speaker at this week’s big anti-annexation demonstration in Rabin Square? --Virtually Palestine-- What do we have to learn from virtual visits to virtual Palestine on our smartphones? --The Knesset Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality: It’s a Man’s World-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we discuss this week’s dumbass appointment of a male MK named Oded Forer to head the Knesset Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality. Another glass ceiling shattered? Another frontier tamed for the be-penised and betesticled  among us? In short: Men, Is there nothing we can’t do? All that and songs by 33 young, brilliant musicians from the Rimon School of Music!
