In this podcast episode, Allison Kaplan Sommer, Noah Efron, and Don Futterman discuss the near-war situation with Gaza leading up to elections, reflect on the intense Israeli election campaigns, and ponder why pride is associated with the Right and shame with the Left in Israel.

Allison, Noah, and Times of Israel's Ops & Blogs Editor Miriam Herschlag discuss key topics in Israel, including the controversy around Habima, Israel's national theater company, performing in settlements like Kiryat Arba, regulations on Israeli NGOs' spending in election campaigns, and the advertising techniques targeting the ultra-orthodox community in Israel.
