“L’Chaim! Two Jews with Opposing Views”


“L’Chaim!” is the Hebrew toast “To Life!” It’s also the name of a WCAP radio show where I engage in a friendly but fiery debate with host Jim Shainker on Israel vs. Palestine, Hamas vs. the Netanyahu/Ben Gvir Regime, the Zionist Colonial Project vs. the American Colonial Project, the Right to Exist vs. the Right to Bomb, & War for Profit vs. the Bonobo Way of PEACE through Pleasure… Warning: Explicit Conversation About Politics & Culture!  At first, Jim & I bond over our fondness for “Fiddler on the Roof,” Free Speech & the late Rabbi Gerald Wolpe, though soon enough, we are arguing over the Holy Lands.Thus the title: “L’Chaim! 2 Jews with Opposing Views.”  Is Israel’s slaughter of innocent Palestinians a “shonda” (shame) for the Jews? What is the meaning of “Never Again”? It’s Mast0rbation Month (though I don’t say that – not wanting to be censored for sex on a show about Palestine), but I do say, “Happy M Month! Give yourself a hand… And stop stealing land!” Jim, predictably, argues that Israeli settlers are *not* stealing land, but we see them stealing land – and lingerie – all over the Internet. Don’t miss this great debate: L’Chaim!
