Merkel’s Farewell Trip to Israel, and More
Show Notes
- German Chancellor Angela Merkel has been a strong ally of the State of Israel, but most Germans disagree with her views. What does the end of Merkel’s chancellorship mean for the Jewish state?
- A new poll shows that about half of Americans believe the nation’s divisions are so great that some states should secede from the union. Is civil war coming?
- 2020 saw a wave of murder and other violent crimes in the U.S., recent statistics show. We look into some of the causes.
- Many governments are using COVID-19 to expand surveillance and control over citizens. In Europe, indications are that vaccine passports are a stepping-stone to a fully digital ID system for every EU citizen.
- And we talk about a powerful tool for navigating life’s distractions and making better use of your time.
