The Promised Podcast reflects on the events of the week in Israel and brings unique
perspectives on Israeli politics and culture. It is a project of Shaharit.
Gazing down at the city in which my father was raised, I take to heart one of his most uttered expressions, “This too shall pass”. Wise words to remember, in both good times and bad. Goodnight #TelAviv#Israel! #GoodnightFromSpace#TheJourney#EarthStrong
@noahjefron @joshualeifer @DissentMag Although I worry.
Anyway, I don't need to waste any more of your time. I apologize if I seemed condescending. It reflects my limited talents as a writer, but not what I think about the INN people, who I think are the best of us - committed, morally alive, open-hearted, inspiring
Don't get me started about that Efron guy. More like sophomorical humor, with egoism and emotional childishness. But everyone's entitled to their own opinion. That's why there's chocolate and vanilla!
Just finished listening to another magnificent episode of The Promised Podcast
@noahjefron Noah, you have such a unique brand of wholesomeness mixed with a satirical humor and replete with empathy and emotional kindness
I idolize you and I aspire to be more like you ❤
My father's globe spanning journey as a surgeon from the Middle East, to Europe, and eventually to the U.S. was an inspiration to many in my immediate and extended family. #TheJourney
@Normie_Democrat @noahjefron It wasn't personal. In fact, one of Huldai's aides at the time said he admired Efron. It's just that Huldai hates opposition (& he's a bit of a bully, also to friends). He does all he can to make them miserable. Today, the city council coalition has 31 members, the opposition 0.
@Normie_Democrat @noahjefron Here's a vid of Efron's final City Council speech, with Huldai hovering. With or without Hebrew, you'll probably get the body language. After this, the mayor turned to Efron's kids, age 14 & 10, & said, "Your father's not a bad man, just stupid and naive." https://t.co/SSRBMamrT4
The American Jewish community is overwhelmingly pro-Israel and anti-Occupation, just like every Democratic 2020 hopeful. It's something neither the far left nor the right wants you to believe is possible. It is. Jewish & Palestinian self-determination are not a zero sum game.
Just to check. The slogan just announced for Benny Gans' Knesset campaign, "Yisrael lifnei ha-Kol," if you translate that to English, you get something like "Israel First," and if you translated it to German, you get something like "Israel über alles," yes?
Examples of overpraising @noahjefron:(1) His personal hygiene is above reproach, (2) He does not sound like a pubescent Ira Glass, (3) He is capable of uttering a sentence without swearing, (4) His IQ very likely reaches into 3 digits, (5) He is handsomer than certain gargoyles.
