Israel is holding an election and we go deep on its implications for the future of the country itself, the occupation, and American Jews' relationship with Zionism. What is Netanyahu's position within the Israeli right? What abou the Israeli left — remember them? And what are American Jews supposed to think about it all?

We go long on this topic, so we will be releasing the second segment of the episode (teased in the introduction) separately. Don't forget to send any feedback, questions, or angry diatribes to [email protected]. 

Also, there were some unexpected glitches in the version we first uploaded: some of our audio tracks fell out of the time/space continuum. The episode has been modified to minimize the disruption: for better or worse, it now ends with Ethan giving a kind of soliloquoy. Buckle up!
