episode 40: “The View from Over There” Edition
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!
