—Smells Like Zionist Spirit—
Two small right-wing parties join to form "The Zionist Spirit". What's that all about?
—Gimme Shelter—
A judge orders a woman into protective custody when her ex and his family threatens her life. That can't be right, can it?

—PM Lapid's Vacation Lands Him in Hot Water—
For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Israel's (very) secular PM is raked over the coals when it comes out that he planned to be enjoying a vacation on Tisha B'Av, for religious folks a traditional day of fasting and mourning.
