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.
