    Podcast Summary

    • Tragic events in Nashville and IsraelIn Nashville, a mass shooting at a Christian school left six people dead. In Israel, Prime Minister Netanyahu's attempt to reform the supreme court sparked massive protests and a national strike.

      There were tragic developments in both Nashville and Israel over the past few days. In Nashville, at least six people, including three children, lost their lives in a mass shooting at a Christian school. The shooter, a 28-year-old female, was killed by police. In Israel, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's attempt to reform the nation's supreme court led to massive protests and a national strike. Netanyahu had sought to expand the parliament's law-making authority by curbing the supreme court's power. Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, who opposed the reforms, was fired, leading to widespread protests. Critics argue that the supreme court has too much power and is not accountable to the people. The proposed reforms would give the Knesset a greater role in judge selection and the power to override supreme court decisions. However, even supporters of the changes warn that forcing them through could lead to more severe protests and potential violence.
