—Opposing the Occupation Yet Choosing to Join the IDF and Serve in the Territories—

For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we mull over a personal essay in Haaretz called, "I Oppose the Occupation. This Is Why I Chose to Serve as an IDF Soldier in the Occupied West Bank."

All that and music by The Bench, in honor of their new, debut record, Jasimo!
