  • What's left of the Left and who's right about the Right
    Jun 10 2026

    Before examining the issues driving the upcoming Israeli election, it's worth pausing to understand the political landscape itself. Traditional categories of left and right have shifted so dramatically that they can obscure more than they reveal.

    In this episode, Sharon and Yuval map the new fault lines dividing Israeli voters: from Netanyahu's leadership, democratic institutions, and military service. Conventional political identities have become more complicated and less predictable ahead of what may be the most significant Israeli election in its history.

    Essential listening before everything that follows.

  • Bondi vs. October 7: The Politics of Accountability
    May 3 2026

    This episode compares how Australia and Israel have responded to their most significant terror attacks. While Australia is already undertaking a Royal Commission into the Bondi attack, Israel still has no independent inquiry into October 7 attack, more than two years later. Sharon and Yuval unpack the political, legal and societal reasons behind that delay, including why Israel's High Court and competing narratives have turned tragedy into politics. The conversation explores why accountability matters—not just for Israel, but for Jewish communities worldwide—and what’s at stake if those questions remain unanswered.
