I'm Aiton Weinstein. And I'm Naor Menninger. And you're listening to Two Nice Jewish Boys.

This podcast is made in collaboration with the Jewish Journal. The day after tomorrow,

Tuesday, the 9th of April, all of Israel will have the day off elections are upon us about

four million of us will be hitting the ballot boxes to determine who will lead this tiny

Middle Eastern country in the upcoming years no one knows how long that's going to be

Benjamin Netanyahu the master campaigner second only to Ben to Ben-Gulion in duration as Prime Minister,

or Benny Gans, an ex-IDF chief of staff who has no experience in politics, and who's running

alongside Ja'ilipid and two other ex-IDF chiefs. The country is in turmoil. It's heated, it's dirty,

it's a close race, and the polls just keep on changing.

But one thing is for sure. For the first time in 10 years, Bebe's reign is under a real and present threat.

Today we're super excited to host one of our favorite past guests.

Daniel Barron is one of the shining stars of Jewish journalism in America. She was a senior

columnist for the Jewish Journal. She also wrote for the New York Times, The Atlantic, Idiot Ahonaut,

The Guardian, and British Esquire. She's now visiting Israel, and we're thrilled to have her on

the podcast again to talk a bit about politics and some other stuff. Thank you for making my

resume sound fancy.

It, I mean, your resume did it on its own.

Just to disclosure, I work for one of the candidates who it won't say for whom, but just take it into account, guys.

Okay.

Ooh, it's like I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you kind of thing.

You won't say anything too nasty.

Okay.
