Host Simon Spungin is joined by Judy Maltz and Omer Benjakob to discuss the most infuriating stories of the week, including the arrival of dozens of evangelical American Christians who were allowed into the country – despite a strict travel ban – in order work as volunteer grape harvesters on Jewish settlements in the West Bank. We also discuss an online campaign to discredit Israelis who have been protesting for weeks against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the impending second lockdown – and we dial up diplomatic correspondent Noa Landau, who is on her way to Washington for this week’s normalization signing ceremony between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
