About this episode

Allison, Noah and Tel Aviv Review Host Gilad Halpern discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

 

This Land Is Your Land, This Land is My Land (An Expropriation Meditation)

We discuss the bill approved by the Knesset this week that allows the expropriation of privately-owned land in the occupied territories, and the end-of-days public debate that ensued.

Playing with Fire

We mull over the firing of a rocket from Gaza towards a Jewish town and the pounding IDF response that was meant to be a warning but might nudge us to a war that nobody seems to want.

The Pious Floozies of the IDF

A viral cartoon aimed at persuading religious women to opt out of army service to avoid boredom, ennui and sexual harassment. Practically everyone attacked the cartoon's producers. But we ask, do they sorta have a point kinda maybe?
