Episode notes

David Frum moved to Israel 25 years ago. Has it fulfilled your purpose you came here for? He says he feels very much privileged to be part of a national project, which is about the future of the Jewish people. "I've been very buoyed by this sense of renewed patriotism that we've seen"

As Israel turns 75, has it fulfilled the promise of its founders? Daniel Gordis of Shalem College talks about his book, Impossible Takes Longer, with EconTalk's Russ Roberts looking at the successes and failures of Israel. Topics discussed include the history of Zionism, the plight of the Palestinians, the Jewishness of the Jewish state, and the current debate in Israel over judicial reform.
