Summary

What happens in Israel rarely stays in Israel. Settler violence in the West Bank spreads, bringing a dramatic condemnation from Israel's top military brass - and from a leading barometer of international opinion. Meanwhile, the courtroom drama of Benjamin Netanyahu's corruption trial comes to a new stage in Brighton, England - whilst the PM vows to continue his plan for an overhaul of the Israeli judiciary, even as he sends mixed signals via a US newspaper. Yonit and Jonathan unpack the week’s political drama -- and discuss a disturbing regional election result from eastern Germany, where the far-right AFD party won big, sending shivers old and new down the collective spine of Jews the world over.

0:56.4	serious amounts of time to sporting activities, not playing, I hasten to add, but instead
1:03.0	watching. Nevertheless, the unholy duties never rest and never sleep.
1:16.1	And so I, even when I was watching the sport, I was thinking, this is going to make a great item for unholy.
1:17.9	Just what is, you keep saying the sport.
1:21.9	Can we talk about this for a minute before we dive into so much news going on?

1:39.0	known. And I was thinking, wow, this is bad in a way, because I'm off duty, this should be
1:43.2	unholy, when I got a message telling me that I must attend and visit the museum there,
1:51.7	because there is a display on cricket and Jews.
1:55.5	And sure enough, there is.
1:57.0	If you go to Lord's Cricket Ground, you don't have to have a ticket for the game.
