Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

What Just Happened in Israel?
Q: Tell us a little bit about the differences in those parties and how they might or might not work with Eisenkrantz and what that means.
Shimrit distinguishes between Ra'am, which has pursued cooperation with Jewish parties and previously joined a coalition, and the Joint List, which is less likely to join a coalition led by Zionist parties but may support one from outside.
The Elections Special: Israel, America and What’s Next - Featuring Evanston mayor and IL-09 candidate Daniel Biss
Q: What do you think are the implications for American Jews watching from here regardless of the outcomes in Israel tomorrow?
Biss says Netanyahu's continued leadership could further distance Israel from American Jews and make the relationship more partisan, while a different government could open an opportunity for a healthier, more bipartisan relationship.
What Just Happened in Israel?
Q: Tell us a little bit about what you did today. Just spend a minute down some of the things you saw, what you were doing on election day in the South.
Shimrit Braun Kamin says she spent the day in the Negev with Bedouin women, witnessing long polling-station lines and the difficulties they faced accessing the vote. She also describes strong voter energy and young people turning out.
The Elections Special: Israel, America and What’s Next - Featuring Evanston mayor and IL-09 candidate Daniel Biss
Q: What are you watching most closely as Israelis head to the polls?
Goldenberg describes possible coalition outcomes and says to watch which party wins the most seats, the combined coalition numbers, and whether small parties cross the electoral threshold.
The Arab Vote Could End Netanyahu’s Rule. Will Jewish Lawmakers Let It?
Q: Why can't you just have the Arab parties form a government with the opposition?
Gitzin cites racism and the delegitimization of Arab participation, while also pointing to real policy differences and the difficulty of governing together. Scheindlin adds that the Joint List has historically opposed joining the governing coalition, unlike Ra'am.
