The “Citizens Disunited” Edition
Allison, Noah and Times of Israel Ops & Blogs Editor Miriam Herschlag discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.
The Odeum and the Odium: Israel’s National Theater Live in the Settlements!
We discuss the controversy over Israel’s national theater company, Habima, performing in the most settlement-y of all the settlements, Kiryat Arba.
Citizens Disunited: Reflections on the Rejection of Election Collections
We reflect on a new law regulating how much Israeli NGOs can spend on election campaigns, like the failed, big “dump Netanyahu” campaign of the last election.

We ask whether the rest of us have something to learn from the ways that stuff is advertised to the ultra-orthodox in Israel, which lack the employment of sex, longing and insecurity to make the sale.
