1:28:08

Allison Kaplan Sommer and Noah Efron discuss two topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week. Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon —Horror Vacui— There’s an odd mélange of diplomatic proposals for what-comes-next-in-Gaza, from an Egyptian and Arab League plan to various American plans, including one hatched in direct negotiations with Hamas. This leads us to wonder, why is Israel silent about something that matters so much? —Amalakites— It is a fact that we are living in a moment of “peak-Amalek,” especially as we celebrate Purim. What are we to make of this problematic idea? —Is Yad Vashem Pandering to the TikTok Generation?— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Is Yad Vashem pandering to the TikTok generation? All this and Rav Menachem Froman, the unveiling of under-wraps art and the Simba we need today, plus brilliant new music by Amir Sade.…

Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon —Findings— The IDF shares its investigation of itself and what it did and did not do on October 7 with the victims of the attack on a community-by-community basis. Is this the sort of investigation we need? —No Other Land— The Palestinian-Israeli movie up for an Oscar next week for best documentary feature, “No Other Land,” is about an ongoing effort of the IDF to evict Palestinians from a contested tract of land in the West Bank. What we do and don’t learn from it? —Podcasts = the Death of Civilization— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Are podcasts the death of civilization (wonder three long-time podcasters)?

Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon —Why Does a Knitted Kippah Mean Keep-on Fighting?— Religious-Zionists oppose the hostage and prisoner release and ceasefire agreement more than any other sector of society (more than secular Zionists, more than Haredim). Why? —War Games— There’s a strange and profound simpatico between sports clubs, athletes and fans, on the one hand, and the hostages and their families on the other. —What We Knew and When Did We Know It— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: Bringing home the bodies of the Bibases (and Oded Lifshitz).

Hear the Extra-Special, Special Extra Segment on Patreon —Rite of Return— How and why did the images of the gaunt, shrunken, clearly-tortured hostages change something and cast into doubt the future of the present ceasefire agreement? —Our Side, Their Side, Genocide— What should we make of Historian Benny Morris’s warning that, if Palestinians and Israelis do not find to see in each other humans deserving of life, liberty and dignity, a genocide is inevitable (though just who kills whom is still up in the air)? —Arguing With Celebs on Twitter— For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: When you find yourself arguing with TV stars on Twitter.

People Do,” he ain’t talking about Mississippi! All that and an appreciation for Yisroel Rutnitsky, may his memory be for a blessing, and tales of returning hostages.
