Summary

As protests continue against the Netanyahu government’s overhaul of the judicial system, the prospect of compromise is receding. Yonit and Jonathan discuss the fallout of the ruling coalition’s rejection of President Herzog’s proposed alternative — amid warning signs that Israel's enemies are taking advantage of what they perceive as a moment of weakness. Plus a conversation with Dave Rich, author of "Everyday Hate", on modern antisemitism - and how everyone from Kanye to a hit Broadway show draw on ideas about Jews that have endured for centuries. -- Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/unholypodcast/and X: https://x.com/2jewsonthenewsJoin our Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1150578065793142 Subscribe to our blog: https://unholypodcast.substack.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

0:49.3	Much going on as always, but a little bit of Israel did actually come here this week.
0:56.4	I mean, you could, having watched the Israel protests on the news and seeing the pictures,
