star 0 Politics Culture

JL;DR SUMMARY This episode explores the political and cultural significance of controversial topics in Israel, including a letter from air force reservists demanding government action to secure hostages and the shelving of a Hebrew translation of Mein Kampf by the Hebrew University Press. A way out west there was a fella, fella I want to tell you about, fella by the name of Jeff Lebowski.

  • But then, there was a lot about the Dude that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me.
  • And a lot about where he lived, likewise. But then again, maybe that's why I found the place s'durned innarestin'.
