The "Alt-Zionism" Edition

Allison, Don & Noah discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.   Alt-Zionism We discuss White-Supremacist claims that their dreams of an “ethno-state” is “very similar to the idea of Zionism,” and why lots of folks on the right and the left seem to agree, leading us to wonder if it is time to slit our wrists. Schools, Cool & Uncool: An Education Rumination We mull over what should be done when parents band together to build their own school, with its own ideology, and then ask the taxpayers to foot the bill. The curious incident of the weed vaped in the night-time We ask whether the weird political coalition that supports decriminalization of pot hints that maybe we don’t really understand Israeli politics after all.   Music by Yair Levi, who just crowdfunded his first album, and these are the very first fruit!
