88. Defend, Defend, Defend! Israeli Elections Part II

The Jews Are Tired

This week: Welcome to part II of coverage of Israel’s recent election. In the last episode, I talked about the rise of bigoted far-right politicians not being the huge watershed moment many of us feared. In this one, I’ll talk about what it does represent, for Israel, but mostly, for American and Diaspora Jews.
This episode is also known as: I can't believe I'm talking so much for so long I'm very very sorry.
