I'm usually against reboots but this one looks intriguing
Bibi's Bunch. All the former Bibi aides have grown up and are on their own. Looking forward to the episode where they all come home to the Netanyahus for seder.
In episode 3 Bibi and Mansour Abbas find out they're related.
"How did we end up with all these children?" Bibi asks.
"That's easy," Merav Michaeli responds. "Labour."

Gonna take this opportunity to briefly explain that the Squad's coordinated talking point--talk to us privately not publicly--is disingenuous and false. Ron notes the hypocrisy of Cori Bush but it's been true of Omar as well, and it's important
Omar's antisemitic tweet about Israeli hypnosis was in 2012. As her local political career took off, Jewish community members tried talking to her about this stuff. She ignored (obviously) and then eventually won her Congress seat in 2018.
She defended both the tweet and BDS, and then after joining Congress arranged a trip to Israel and the territories with a group that had spread the famous blood libel and republished a white supremacist screed against Jews. Here's where things got rocky.
The question at hand is: Is there one single person in the Democratic Party who supports Jews' right to live in safety more than he or she fears a mean tweet from AOC.
btw the fact that they're even discussing it like this is yet more proof that the official position of the leadership is on AOC and Omar and Tlaib's side, as it has long been. This is the official party position, and there are a few dissenters who are scared to even go public.
History in the making. Likely means a chunk of the interior ministry, yes? The news on coexistence is not all bad!
Jabotinsky said of a future Israel: if the prime minister is Jewish his deputy PM should be Arab, and vice versa. This is the closest the political system has come so far to Jabo's vision of coalitional coexistence.
Virtually everything that's happening in world affairs relates to some or other of Jabotinsky's writing, and I hope some of this results in a revival of the work of one of the 20th century's most important political thinkers and literary translators.
Feels good to step outside into the M Night Shyamalan permanent buzzing of the cicada plague then step onto the empty pandemic train again. Ah, fresh air!
