Another comic relief
I found a short video taken from a popular Israeli tv comedy show called “Shidurei Hama’apecha” (Revolution broadcasting) hosted by Assi and Guri that was aired last year.
It’s very funny, at least that’s what I think. Most of it is in English so you should be able to understand and maybe laugh. Some of the punch lines are in Hebrew though.
It’s a parody on an Israeli entertainment/showbiz program (style E! channel). They send Israelis to interview Hollywood stars to those 5 minuets interviews prior to movies premiers. The embarrassing part is when the Israeli interviewer inquires about the star’s Jewish roots, and they always ask them. The other embarrassing part is that at the end of those interviews the Israeli interviewer persuades the star to say something in Hebrew, usually something like “I watch ___” or Shalom Israel” and so on.
At the end of this video to those who don’t understand Hebrew: the Israeli interviewer make the American start to say: “ani kaki metumtam” = I’m a stupid shit”. Later the interviewer calls him an asshole in Hebrew. Also note the new term they coined for circumcision.
Now watch it.

IndyMedia back on Google News - Time for an e-mail campaign
Looks like Google News spiders are still crawling IndyMedia sites, helping spread their anti-Semitic blood libels and calling Israelis “Zionazis”. After the initial report that Google News has removed IndyMedia those guys flooded Google with e-mails and phone calls to get IndyMedia listed again as a news source.
Just follow Meryl: “Time to start another email campaign. Keep it polite. Point out stories like this one (I won't link to it, cut and paste http://sf.indymedia.org/news/2003/05/1610702.php), or this one, which has the entire text of the known anti-Semitic forgery the Protocols of the Elders of Zion (http://www.indymedia.org/front.php3?article_id=182773), which they refuse to remove (http://lists.indymedia.org/mailman/public/www-newswire/2002-May/001440.html).
I suggest you send an e-mail to all those addresses: news-feedback@google.com; press@google.com; david@google.com; nate@google.com; eileen@google.com; mmayzel@google.com; dfrost@google.com (Just click on this link or copy & paste it) If you want to call Google or fax them here is a contact list.
Charles Johnson with the armies of LGF is leading this e-mil campaign, Meryl Yourish and Silent Running already joined the effort. Bloggers I urge you to join this campaign post about it or link to it on your blogs.
Light it up. IndyMedia must go.

I told you
Ma’ariv runs an interesting story today (here is the link to the story in English). Last night a failure in the Israeli air Force southern air control unit almost caused an American planes to be shot down by Israeli jets.
Around 6 pm the air control unit failed to recognize a few American Hercules transport planes and thought they were enemy airplanes. IAF F-15 were launched to intercept it. Luckily the air control identified in time that those were US military planes.
The subheading of the article says: “the failure reveled what was kept secret for months: the Americans are flying above us on their way to Iraq”. According to the reporter US planes flew above Israel even before the war in Iraq began and increased the number of flight significantly during the war. And as yesterday’s incident shows they are still flying above us.

Middle East Blogger discussion
John Hawkins of Right Wing News organized a bloggers chat about Israel and the Palestinians. Participants: Charles Johnson from "Little Green Footballs", John Little from "Blogs of War", Damian Penny from "Daimnation!", Ben Shapiro from "Ben Shapiro Online" and our Israeli representative Allison Kaplan Sommer.
I must say I side with Allison and Damian on most of their point. One participant, Ben Shapiro, could be easily one of those extremists that tend to show up from time to time in my blog and write their delusion apocalyptic solutions from their armchair in America. (I’ve tackled this issue before if you’re interested).
Anyway read it and then read Allison’s post about it.

Looks like yet again someone is plagiarizing my posts
From a one of my posts:
"Most of the settlements will be dismantled. The big ones near the green line with total of around 80% of the settler’s population will be annexed and fenced out. In return the Palestinian should be given equal amount of land from Israel, my suggestions are to give the areas densely populated with Israeli Arabs near the Green line such as Umm el Fahem, Taybe, Tira and the villages around."
From someone named jem note post at a discussion forum at Democratic Underground:
"Most of the settlements, especially the newer ones, will be dismantled. The larger ones, most of which are near the green line (and include about 80% of the Israelis in the territories) and many of which are merely suburbs of Israeli cities, will become part of Israel. In return the Palestinians could be given land from Israel, perhaps from some of the areas populated by Israeli Arabs near the Green line (Umm el Fahem, Tira, etc., "
There are other parts from my post that are suspiciously similar to the rest of my post. Pretty pathetic.
Update: After writing to the site’s admin they took off that post. I was also contacted by the plagiarizer himself and he apologized. I accepted his apology. End of story.
