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. --And the Bush Was Not Consumed: On the Surprising Longevity of the Balfour Protests-- The protests in front of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s home have lasted almost twice as long as “Occupy Wall Street” and the demonstrations at Tiananmen Square.

Should We Worry?-- For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we discuss how Israel’s infection numbers break records day after day, and yet most of us are pretty ho-hum about it. Why aren’t we more freaked out? All that and the collective genius of Foto Màriana.
