Nancy Halevi is a renowned psychologist and a brilliant Jewish thinker. This episode is our phone call.
We get it. You've missed us. Dor and Jeff chat briefly and set up season 2 of Two Freaked Out Jews.
Jeff and Dor speak to their friend Shira Anderson, an International Lawyer. They discuss the ICRC (Red Cross) and the ICJ (International Court of Justice) and how these things relate to Israel.
Jeff and Dor chat about generational trauma. The absurdity of violent calls for ceasefire. The Israeli political discourse surrounding the latest ceasefire negotiations with Hamas. This chat was recorded just before the two hostages were rescued from Rafah.
Jeff interviews two more friends on his pirate weekend about their experience being freaked out Jews.
Dor is back. He listened to the last episode. He had notes.
We revisit indigenous claims to Israel and other topics that came up in the previous episode with Micha. Jeff takes a moment to attack the Ann Arbor school board's decision insist that Israel should stop defending itself.
In this episode Dor breaks down how the Israeli Knesset works, and the Judicial Reform overhaul. Jeff asks Dor to explain these topics as if he were explaining to a seven year old.
Also, Jeff had a little bit of fun with sound effects.
