The “Cautionary Conversations” Edition


Listen Later

Chair of Tel Aviv University’s Dept. of Public Policy Alon Tal, Allison Kaplan Sommer, and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

Avoidably Detained

The Shabak holds up journalist Peter Beinart at Ben Gurion Airport for a “cautionary conversation” about the perils of anti-Occupation activism. Are we sliding swiftly down a slippery slope?

Unsettled

Haaretz says all we need to do to implement a Two-State solution is to resettle 9,800 Jewish families. Have we overestimated how much Settlements are a barrier to peace?

Faded Green?

Is it time to stick a fork in Israel’s Green Parties?

Did Cohen cross a line, we’ll ask, or is this 21st century Abbie-Hoffmanism just the sort of shaking up that our politicians need?
