  • Amanda Borshel-Dan and Lazer Berman are idiots

    I really want to like this podcast as I have always liked David Horowitz since he was with the Jerusalem Post.

TOI itself is flawed because of its refusal, unlike Haaretz, to hire any journalists to report on what is going on in Gaza. Lazar Berman, their military specialis... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Higher Arab turnout could mean evening lines, delayed exit polls
Q: How many Arab voters will go out to vote, and if they do, who are they going to vote for?
Experts expect turnout could reach 68 or 69 percent. Schneider says many Arab voters are motivated by crime, violence, policing and opposition to the current government, while late voting may affect how accurately exit polls reflect their participation.
Higher Arab turnout could mean evening lines, delayed exit polls
Q: What are some of the final things candidates were saying as they made their last pitches to voters?
Schneider discusses Netanyahu's warning about possible sanctions and his cryptocurrency proposal, criticism from the Bank of Israel, and attacks between political parties.
Slaying of two soldiers sparks widespread IDF op in Hebron
Q: What can you tell us about this?
The Israeli and Greek navies conducted a joint Mediterranean exercise involving coordinated maneuvers and firing on an enemy vessel. Fabian says it may signal concern about Turkey's growing regional influence and worsening ties with Israel.
Slaying of two soldiers sparks widespread IDF op in Hebron
Q: Manny, what can you tell us about this terrible attack on Friday morning?
Two Palestinians from the same family opened fire on a temporary checkpoint near Hebron. After a gunfight lasting about 20 minutes, soldiers killed both attackers. Two soldiers were killed and three were wounded. The army believes the gunmen may have intended a larger attack on civilians along Route 35.
Legal groups brace for right-wing interference at Arab polls
Q: Why don't you tell us a little bit about this process of going to each party and asking them, what do you have to say about judicial reform?
Sharon says he asked major parties to explain their plans but found that most were reticent, vague, or unwilling to respond. The Religious Zionist Party and the Democrats supplied clearer platforms, while coalition parties supported further judicial changes and opposition parties generally described plans for stronger constitutional protections.
