The "Judenrein Palestine? Nein!" Edition

Allison, Don and Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Judenrein Palestine? Nein! PM Netanyahu released a YouTube video claiming that Palestinians advocate the "ethnic cleansing" of Jewish settlers as a precondition of peace negotiations: It's nutty diplomacy, but might he have a point about the position of settlers in a future Palestinian state? Derailed PM Netanyahu's compromise with the ultra-Orthodox over controversial railway maintenance on Shabbat angered many in the Opposition, who claimed the PM had been railroaded, and that his policy is on the wrong track and a potential train wreck. On the internet, everybody thinks you're a dog! We discuss scholarly suggestions that internet discourse in Israel is so mean because so many Israelis yearn to stick it to the leftist "lame-stream" media. But are Israelis really more mean on the internet than folks from other places?   All songs by The Energya Psychotronics: She's My Sister Insincerely Yours Valerie-Ann My Imagination
