The Posner Show
Sarah Wildman (sarahwildman.com) and Marc Tracy (The New Republic, Jewish Jocks)
Guest-hosting on The Posner Show, Sarah talks to Mark about the controversy over whether the 2012 Olympics should memorialize the Israeli athletes murdered forty years ago in Munich. Is anything involving Israel inevitably political? Mark and Sarah move on to the recurring question of whether Benjamin Netanyahu is committed to peace. Is this the year when the two-state solution will die? What, if anything, should liberal American Jews do about Israel? They close by analyzing the constant hand-wringing over the Jewish vote.
