There is something about a night cab that can turn a small talk into something deeper. Driving from Jaffa to central Tel Aviv recently, I found myself in a microcosm of Israel – its divisions, its contradictions and its unanswerable questions, all of which take place in the cramped intimacy of the hell of a taxi.
I just finished a television appearance on the I24 channel in Hebrew (new, and recommended) where I was on a panel with a woman I will call Y., a sharp representative of the political right in Israel (I will not identify her in any other way, for reasons that will soon become clear). She lives not far from me, so to save money, we shared the ride.
