What Is ‘Right’ and What Is ‘Left’ in Israel?
Mike Doran and Gadi Taub discuss the presidential debate in America, and the debate over Haredi military service in Israel
The American presidential debate was a moment of truth—or lack thereof—for the press. It also has consequences for Israel and the Middle East. Mike and Gadi discuss.
This week also saw an Israeli Supreme Court decision ordering the draft of all ultra-Orthodox men. The decision is threatening the stability of Netanyahu’s coalition. Mike and Gadi explain why this has become such a contested issue, and how religion, nationalism, and progressivism define what left and right mean in Israel today.
Then there is also a uniquely dumb take on the news. Join us and stay updated about Israel and its war.
