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.
