So, y'all know about that really cool thing out there in the blogosphere called bloggingheads tv, right? In which really cool people sit around ye ol’ computer monitor and jaw about something they know a lot about? It makes for really interesting, fly-on-the-wall type watching, and as I say: It’s really cool.
Well.
Last week, Sarah Posner, author of God’s Profits: Faith, Fraud, and the Republican Crusade for Values Voters, and senior editor at Religion Dispatches, AND a blogginghead herself, on The Posner Show — asked me to do a segment for her show! And so I did. It was posted at the bloggingheads tv site on Friday afternoon — and it's been a busy few days so I'm just getting around to posting it here!
If you’d like just little 2-4 minute slices of that larger whole, however, that’s an option, too!
To view just the bit where I talk about why I left Israel, click here, and why I don’t think we’ll never move back, click here. Interested in the race riots that recently took place in South Tel Aviv? Click here. Jerusalem more your bag? Click here. To see our conversation about if the American Jewish community understands just how far right the Israeli government has swung in recent years, click here. And finally, for my thoughts on if I think Peter Beinart's Open Zion blog is a worthwhile experiment? Click here (hint: yes, I do).
Two notes: I consistently said “in the government” when I meant to say “in the coalition.” Also, I referred to the girl as being nearly 8 years old, whereas in reality, she’s nearly 9. Management regrets the errors.
