"Balagan" was a word popularized after the 1990s Post-Soviet Aliyah of Jewish Communities to Israel from the USSR. Meaning, "Messy" or "Chaotic" the term is often used to describe the state of political affairs in Israel. In this episode, hosted with the support of MSU Undergrad, Ben Francis, we sit down with Prof. Yael Aronoff of The James Madison College at MSU and Prof. Myron "Mike" Aronoff, Professor Emeritus of Rutgers University to talk about the current state of Israeli Political Affairs, the rise of nationalism, and the history of political currents through out the state of Israel.
