The Israel Conversation episodes:

March 15, 2018 Ep. 70 - Israel Haredi Draft Law and Coalition Crisis
It looks like the Israeli government won't dissolve after all. Phew, I guess? But its still worth understanding how the Israeli government works, what a coalition crisis is, and what the fight is over the haredi draft law. Good thing Alan, Mike and Matt are here to explain it all. (at least after they figure it out) Enjoy this look behind the headlines in our 70th episode! (and we'll soon have 12,000 downloads)
Also, we've begun our new question of the week segment! Thanks MTVA!

March 08, 2018 Ep. 69 - AIPAC Conference and Response to Farrakhan
While the AIPAC Policy Conference meets in the USA, Alan and Mike discuss what it means to them. What is AIPAC? How does it impact United States Policy? How does it impact American Jewish life and culture? What would happen without it? Our American expats share thoughts on the current state of the US/Israel relationship, and why AIPAC really matters.
Alan is bothered by Women's March Movement founder Tamika Mallory's refusal to withdraw her support from the openly antisemitic Louis Farrakhan. She can't use the "anti-Zionism isn't antisemitism" excuse for Farrakhan's classic Jew hatred. So why can't she just condemn his racism? Is there anything new here, or is this just history coming back to haunt us? The guys weigh in.
Somehow, Mike ties it all together in the end.

February 01, 2018 Ep. 64 - When a Stranger Resides With You...
The Torah says, in Leviticus 19, "When a stranger resides with you in your land, you shall not do him wrong. The stranger who resides with you shall be to you as the native among you, and you shall love him as yourself, for you were aliens in the land of Egypt; I am the LORD your God."
How does that apply to the current refugee crisis in Israel? Alan and Mike invite their colleague, Rabbi Tamara Schagas to discuss the issue, and her ongoing work for the refugees.
