It’s not as good as Netanyahu’s video

But it does have an ad hoc, awkward tone that is still oddly entertaining. Besides getting the Beatles title wrong, and eliding the fact that Tel Aviv was named best gay city, and not most fun city, he does hit most of his hasbara points. Still, for some real showmanship go to the top.

Could they still do all that science, all that technology, all that GREAT stuff — that makes Oren so proud — if they (gasp!) did not pursue Greater Israel, settlement, oppression, racism, etc.?

Why are the “good Israel” (I do not say “democratic Israel, but I mean this hi-tech Israel he feels so proud of, and, hey, pro-LGBT Israel too, why not?) and the “bad Israel” (roughly, the one the Palestinians know and don’t especially love) — why are they necessarily joined at the hip?

Would the hi-tech folks go away if Israel (had to) (did) give back the WB&G and made a fair peace (and “gave up” 50% of the water and 50% of the Mediterranean petroleum resources)?

Would giving up “bad Israel” destroy “good Israel”?

RE: “Besides getting the Beatles title wrong, and eliding the fact that Tel Aviv was named best gay city, and not most fun city, he does hit most of his hasbara points.” ~ Adam Horowitz

FROM WIKIPEDIA:

(excerpts) The 2009 Tel Aviv gay centre shooting resulted in the deaths of two people and injuries to at least fifteen others at the Tel Aviv branch of the Israeli GLBT Association, at the “Bar-Noar” (Hebrew: בר-נוער‎, “Youth Bar”), on Nahmani Street in Tel Aviv, Israel, on 1 August 2009. A 26-year-old man and a 17-year-old girl were killed.[1][2] . . .
. . . As of March 2012, the crime remains unsolved… Two people were killed, and fifteen were wounded. The police had launched a search campaign to find the shooter, and in addition immediately closed most of the entertainment places for the gay community that operated during the same time of the shooting event, for fear of additional shooting.
The gunman entered the building where a weekly event was being held (in the basement), shot in several directions and then fled on foot.[2][5][6] The building was frequented by gay teenagers who engage in social activities and listen to music.[6][11] The centre was small with one terrace; thus preventing anyone from escaping.[6] They instead hid under a bed and tables as shots were fired.[6][11] Israeli television said the crime scene was a “bloodbath”.[7]…
. . . The shooter was masked, dressed in black and used a pistol to carry out his attack.[2][5][8][11][12] It is not believed his motive was related to nationalist terror but the exact motive is currently unclear.[2] The city’s gay community stated the killer had a homophobic motive while police have cautioned people that the attack may not have been a hate crime and that the motive remains unknown. . .
