About this episode
Allison Kaplan Sommer, Don Futterman, Sally Abed and Noah Efron talk about Israel's elections this week: What should we make of the surprising success and kingmaker role of the Islamicist Ra'am party? The Kahanists in the Knesset? The better-than-anyone-predicted showing of Benny Gantz and the Blue & White party? The relative failure of the right-winger who wanted to replace Netanyahu, Gideon Sa'ar and Naftali Bennett? The relative success of the Labor Party and liberal-left Meretz? The stalwart centrist Yair Lapid? What's it all say about the state of our collective soul? What's it all augur for the future? —You Voted for Whom?! — For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion, we – in a fit of self-disclosure – spill about who we voted for, and why. All that and two of Israel's greatest young opera singers, Shani Oshri & Noam Lowenstein, singing roots music in Ladino ( see their beautiful online show next Monday )!
