—“A Coalition Exposition”—
Eight documents tell us tons about what Israel’s new government plans to do, and plans not to do, and also about the exquisite tensions knitted into the fabric of this right-center-left/Jewish-Arab/religious-secular/straight-and-queer/feminist-and-not-so-feminist coalition.
—Bye Bye Bibi Bye Bye—
Benjamin Netanyahu dominated Israeli politics for a dozen years. What legacy did he leave?
—The Bare Necessities of the Naked Truth—

For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we place bets on how long Israel’s new government is gonna last.
Plus, a celebration of Alon Tal, on his journey from the Promised Podcast to the Knesset!
All that and the fresh-from-the-barricades music of the Barak Cohen Band!
