Who Are the People in Your Neighborhood?

In this episode Benji and Avi sit down with Ohad Merlin, Middle East correspondent for the Jerusalem Post, and expert on the media landscape in the Arab world. We do a deep dive into the Muslim Brotherhood, Qatar, and the myth that Israeli tourists always steal hotel towels. 

Turns out we live in a pretty tough neighborhood.

If you’re feeling depressed after this episode,  here’s a Sesame Street blast from the past featuring Bob McGrath, the coolest person who ever lived in Teaneck, NJ. Once you go down that Sesame Street rabbit hole, enjoy The Alligator King and I Don’t Want to Live on the Moon! You’ll feel better…

Here is one of Ohad's videos explaining aspects of Jewishness in Arabic that are mentioned in the podcast.
