Where the Fish Pisses

One of my favorite Hebrew expressions is eifo hadag mashtin – “where the fish pisses.” Israelis use it to describe a situation in which a particular action or behavior comes back to harm you. This expression mirrors how Israelis perceive the current anti-Israel protests unfolding on college campuses in North America. Many believe that these universities, communities, and even the US Democratic party may eventually regret their support of radical Islamic fundamentalists, particularly Hamas. Today, we’ll explore three narratives that illustrate the concept of well-meaning actions leading to unintended consequences. Additionally, I'll delve into the significant news stories from Israel and how these events impact the lives of ordinary Israelis. Plus, I'll be addressing your questions. For more information about Inside Israel or to listen to past episodes, visit www.joelchasnoff.com/podcast.
