Episode Synopsis
Baby it’s cold outside! In a surprise twist, Asher acknowledges Nathan of Gaza for the Tu Bishvat seder. We then contemplate WWMLKD (what would MLK do) in the current environment. John summarizes the flawed ICJ case against Israel, and wonders if the pro-Hamas/Houthi protesters ever consider themselves the “baddies.” Despite the negative temperatures, we end with positive thoughts about longer days.
