WARNING: This episode contains nuance in the discussion of subjects usually left to screaming and violence!
This week we get into a bunch of stuff around Israel that we normally avoid. Settlements. Blame versus responsibility. The definition of colonialism. The social media posts of IDF soldiers. It’s a calm, nuanced conversation with Shaiel Ben-Ephraim. No, really.
- Netanyahu as an obstacle to peace
- Why no one talks about what comes next
- Israel loses Matthew
- America and Israel’s “special relationship”
- When Bush (senior) stood up to Israel
- Going down the colonialism rabbit hole
- The social media output of IDF soldiers on the ground in Gaza and Lebanon
- “There’s terrible things they’re not taping.”
- Explaining Ben-Gvir and Smotrich
- How right wingers paralyze the Israeli government
- Israel is eyeing settlements in the West Bank, Gaza, and Lebanon which is, in fact, colonialism
- The difference between blame and responsibility
- The episode is not anti-Israel, so save your letters and phone calls.
