The “Winners & Losers, Accusers & Excusers” Edition

Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman and Noah Efron discuss three topics of incomparable importance and end with an anecdote about something in Israel that made them smile this week.

--God & Country--

Are the ultra-Orthodox the big winners in Israel’s new government? Does that make the rest of us losers?

--18 Years of Death, Misery and Despair: There’s an App for that Now!--

A new app/site lets Israelis who fought in Israel’s long miserable war in Lebanon return virtually to the outposts where they froze and watched their friends die. But why?

--Thrice the Advice!--

If you’re an Israeli abroad, is it your responsibility to present the country in a good light?

--Goin’ Up!--

For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra segment, we talk about what the corona-mess feels like now, as we leave lockdown and watch the numbers creep back up. (Hint: Yikes!)

All that and bright songs by Sun Tailor!
