Allison, Don, and Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance, and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

Pity the poor Afula!

We discuss demonstrations by residents of Afula, a town in the north of Israel, against a tender for hundreds of new apartments that was won by Arab Israelis.

Am I not Ayman?

We discuss MK and leader of the (mostly-)Arab “Joint List,” Ayman Odeh’s tour of America. What does it say about the new sort of politics he represents?

Cool to a warming world?

We discuss Israel’s lackluster participation in the Paris climate conference – has “light-unto-the-nations-ism” died?

All songs by the bona fide, no-doubt-about-it, genius Ryskinder:
