The "Donald Trump & the Jewish Question" Edition

If you love Israel, this podcast will make you inexplicably happy: Israel Story's current season is almost over, so it's a perfect chance to catch up on everything you've been missing! Today, Allison, Noah, and superstar guest Ilene Prusher discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. And now, right-wing Israeli democrats? We discuss whether a new species is emerging in Israeli politics – right-wingers terrified by Netanyahu into embracing liberal democratic politics. Donald Trump & the Jewish Question Will Trump rend asunder once and for all right wing Jews from left? Or will he perhaps become a uniting force for Jews who may reject him en masse, and with him, reject Adelsonism as well? Exhibiting confusion Is an Israeli national museum possible or even desirable in 2016, or do we need a thousand museums for the thousand different stories we tell about ourselves? Is collective memory and collective identity just soooo twentieth century?   All songs by Dorin Yanni & The Band (in honor of their knockout show at the Jacob's Ladder Festival this past weekend): Whistle Wheels Singing With The Rain I Won't Go Home
