Boots on the Ground
Restoring Order: Lawlessness in Arab Communities, Iran, and the Haredi Conscription Battle ep 30
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this more combative episode, Ari and Shaun take on three of the most volatile issues facing Israel today.
First, they clash over the spiralling murder rate within Israel’s Arab communities. Why has lawlessness deepened? Is this a failure of governance, policing, culture, or politics? The two see both the root causes and the solutions very differently.
Next, they turn outward to the question looming over the region: a potential strike on Iran. Yes, no, maybe? What would such an attack actually achieve, and why does the prospect remain on the table?
Finally, the debate returns home with the ongoing battle over Haredi conscription. Is this an unsolvable societal fracture, or are the solutions more straightforward than politicians admit?
Despite sharp disagreements, the episode closes as always, with clarity, perspective, and a message of hope. Am Yisrael Chai.
This is not an episode to miss.
With thanks to our partners at the Jerusalem Media Group and our sponsors at BethereIsrael.com for making this episode possible.
