The "Bickering about Stickering" Edition
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.
"Well, what family doesn't have its ups and downs?" (With apologies to James Goldman and Katherine Hepburn, or perhaps to King Henry II and Eleanor of Aquitaine)
We discuss Prime Minister Netanyahu’s recent attempts to fix relations with American Jews. Is his "charm offensive" more charm or offensive?
Bickering about stickering
The EU has issued new guidelines for the labeling of products from the occupied territories, and many Israelis are up in arms. We ask how those of us on the left ought to respond.
What happened in Paris
Finally, we discuss what sense we in Israel make – or should make – of the infinitely sad mass-murders in Paris.
All songs are tributes to Paris, with a heavy heart and a troubled mind:
Yael Naim - Paris
Riff Cohen - A Paris
Yair Ziv - Be-Rechovot Paris
Ethnix - Tel Aviv Kmo Paris
