[...] Israel’s effort to resuscitate its image post-Gaza by helping Haiti. It’s funny and dark (and shows that our posts on this issue have been legit). The best line is when a comic playing Israeli military correspondent Roni Daniel [...]

Chaos, in the immortal words of Travis Bickle . . . “You talkin’ to me?”

I admit I’m a grouch on I/P, but I think your response was intended for Yonira. If I wanted to channel Andrew Dice Clay, I’d try to work in his “Little Miss Muffett” routine somehow.

Nice piece of work. I have felt for years that direct translations from the Hebrew-language Israeli press are the best form of exposure of Israeli tactics: they seldom need much comment, because the contrast between what appears in the Hebrew-language and English-language press often speaks for itself. Didi Remez’ Coteret is also doing a lot of this, mainly from Yediot. best, Rowan.

“Jesus Citizen, there is a difference between Jews and Israel.”

Well, here’s a whole new direction from Yonira! Yonila, I hope you are not telling me that when the boxcars line up and the Cossacks come to get me, Israel won’t be there for me? I was counting on it!

“I am a Jew, I am feeling no benefit from the earthquake.”

Sorry, Yosie, I’ll see what I can do about it. Would you like a small Haitian boy to practise on?
