Allison, Noah, and special guest Gilad Halpern (Managing Editor of Ynet News and host of TLV1’s Tel Aviv Review) discuss three topics of incomparable importance, and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

The coming of the Repub-Likud & Avodah-mocrat parties

We discuss PM Netanyahu’s plans to unify the parties on the right into an "Israeli Republican Party," and the nascent efforts of the Labor Party and the Tnua Party to do the same thing on the center left, forming an "Israeli Democratic Party."

Sham-bassador?

We discuss the efforts of three leftist diplomats to block the appointment of Dani Dayan, one-time chair of the settler YESHA Council, as Israel’s ambassador to Brazil, by convincing Brazilia not to allow him to serve.

Charming settlers

We discuss the "charm offensive" of settlers, who have lately taken to inviting folks to their towns, their vineyards, their homes, to demonstrate how much, if we just give them a chance, we'd like them, we'd really like them.
