Bad Hasbara 56: Jewishly, with Bilal Sha...

Matt Lieb
About this episode

Matt and Daniel are joined by Palestinian-American comedian Bilal Sharmoug to witness limits - of Rabbi Ammiel Hirsch’s commitment to tikkun olam - of British novelist Howard Jacobson’s capacity to willfully misunderstand the Israel Palestine conflict - and and of the audience’s tolerance for spotty Michael Caine impressions.
