For the last nine-and-a-half months, we’ve been experiencing different kinds of battlefields: There are actual battlefields, where people fight and are wounded and killed. And then, of course, there are secondary battlefields - on college campuses, in the court of public opinion, on social media, on TV, in newspapers, via text messages. And while no one has, thankfully, been killed on those battlefields, they are - in disturbing ways - no less vicious. This reality is so pervasive that for many it’s become the haunting soundtrack of the entire period. But today we want to share one small story, one of countless similar ones that have crossed our radar - about trolling, virtual bullying and Israel bashing.
The end song is Kol Ha'Olam Kulo ("The Whole Wide World") by the Djamchid Sisters.

0:45.3 | And by that I don't just mean the north and the south, Iran and Syria, and now also, somewhat |
0:52.3 | perplexingly, Yemen. I'm mainly talking about the fact that since |
