JL;DR SUMMARY This episode examines cross-border dynamics involving the Druze communities in Israel and Syria, highlighting moments of unity amid conflict, and delves into American Jewish discourse on Israel through Ezra Klein's essay.

  • 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'.
