Lessons From Peter Beinart’s French Grandma
The average Paris Jew is afraid to have a Mezuzah on a public door, sparking discussions about Israel absorbing France's half-a-million Jews. And where might Israel find houses for all of French Jewry amidst a national housing crisis? Housing Minister Uri Ariel believes they are going to move to Judea and Samaria!
Then in a Jewish Press Radio exclusive, 'The Crisis of Zionism' author Peter Beinart joins Yishai to discuss how to be a critic of Israeli policy, while still remaining a proud Jew. Beinart debates Yishai on the Palestinian narrative of victimhood, and argues that Israeli policies in the West Bank represent 'a recipe for disaster.' Listen in!

French Hypocrisy
Yishai rants on the the French reaction to terror in Paris. Yishai argues that if you import Jihadists, you are likely going to get Jihad. Should French Jews immigrate to Israel out of fear over ideology? Why not, that's what moved millions of other Jews back to the Holy Land.
