Allison, Don & Noah discuss:

Rubi Rivlin: A man of contradictions

What to make of Israel’s newly elected President, Rubi Rivlin, a mensch (good guy) who also opposes a two-state solution? Oy, the dissonance!

A pro-Palestinian settler leader?

The startling NY Times op-ed by a settler leader who insists that Israel must hatch a “bold plan to improve every aspect of day-to-day life for Palestinians”: What gives?

Is this the end of prisoner swaps?

A cabinet decision to prohibit future pardons of murderers, ruling out Gilad Shalit-style prisoner exchanges.
