Hen Mazzig, co-founder of the Tel Aviv Institute and author of The Wrong Kind of Jew, says Israel won on the battlefield and lost the world, and that explaining Israel "is not a replacement for policy." He spent five years in COGAT, the IDF unit that issues Palestinian permits and prison visits, and was attacked by settlers while in uniform. We play his Piers Morgan fight with Norman Finkelstein ("Am I a child killer?") and go through what Amit Soussana actually said. Noam asks whether Israel would hold the West Bank if it had no holy sites, why the occupation is the Palestinians' best weapon, and why "sunlight grows mushrooms." Also: Mamdani's October 7 statement, Mearsheimer on the Hannibal Directive, Eurovision, and why Noam thinks everyone should have a baby. 0:00 Hen Mazzig, three years and a day after October 7 4:19 "We won on the battlefield and lost the world" 18:36 Food, famine and the arguments that don't work 28:52 What if the West Bank had no holy sites? 37:56 Smallpox, arrogance and "have a baby" 52:13 Five years in COGAT: what the IDF's humanitarian unit does 61:40 "Am I a child killer?"
