—Ending this F*#!ing War—

What should we make of the hostage release and “permanent cessation of hostilities” agreement with Hamas, and why is the agreement only signed now (and not eight months ago or eight months from now) and does what it means politically?

—A Utopic Future, Right Before Our Eyes—

For our most unreasonably generous Patreon supporters, in our extra-special, special extra discussion: You may say I’m a dreamer, but I am not the only one.

Plus, a new record by Idan Amedi that started in a hospital bed, recovering from an explosion in Gaza that almost took Amedi’s life. And an appreciation of Avraham Luria, proprietor of Israel’s oldest and best costume emporium and a beloved figure in the world of Tel Aviv theater.
