corroboree: New Years Resolutions for the TV Guide
http://corroboree-oznyisrael.blogspot.com/2012/09/new-years-resolutions-for-tv-guide.html
New Years Resolutions for the TV Guide. Out on the bleak horizon of Rosh Hashanah television programming stands a lone silhouette on the rim of a crater. He's waving a flag. This Rosh Hashanah watch It’s a Wonderful Life. You're out of your mind! He's waving madly. "Frank Capra. James Stewart. Donna Reed! But you're having us on! You bawl. "That's staple Christmas Day afternoon matinee programming! On the Jewish New Year? Then let me intercede. Grinds to a halt for the best part of a month, a bit like.

corroboree: The Trouble With Harry
http://corroboree-oznyisrael.blogspot.com/2012/09/the-trouble-with-harry.html
The Trouble With Harry. Labels: fair go mate. The other week I got new glasses. And while my francophone optometrist tested my eyes he asked me, "You're from Australia aren't you? Yes," I said, keeping my breathing shallow, so as not to appear bashfully swaggering, (like the Aussie bloke in that old Sunlong Rice advert-me think it 'mazing). And the Queen of Great Britain, she's the Queen of Australia too isn't she? Yes," I answered, "by the constitution she is.". In the meantime somebody hacked the Engli...

corroboree: Breaking The Rules Of Dictation
http://corroboree-oznyisrael.blogspot.com/2014/07/breaking-rules-of-dictation.html
Breaking The Rules Of Dictation. Three Quarter Time Summary:. First thing let's make it clear; I see Hamas as genocidal bastards. Secondly, I hope my son comes out of this alive. As we are approaching what all the Israeli commentators consider to be the final act of this round of armed conflict, we can begin to draw some preliminary conclusions as to how things are panning out. Is their binary, punitive strategy just a lot of hot air and human sacrifices? The continuation of a discriminating regime of ma...

corroboree: Benzygier Morant?
http://corroboree-oznyisrael.blogspot.com/2013/02/benzygier-morant.html
I know Prisoner X was only an ex- shmutznik. But this whole affair has certainly brought out the A.D.D. in me. Can't stop thinking about it. Is Ben Zygier the new Breaker Morant. Set aside what ever form of treason he purportedly committed. It's really the alleged suicide that's worrying. We probably won't know which security offence Zygier was accused of,. And a trail behind closed doors for all that? It doesn't quite add up to me. It may be true but it gives me cognitive dissonance. As has been amply r...

corroboree: A Short Trip Before A Long Voyage
http://corroboree-oznyisrael.blogspot.com/2013/06/a-short-trip-before-long-voyage.html
A Short Trip Before A Long Voyage. This is a true story, basically. I left Australia some 30 years ago. When I left it was for good. I was single and vaguely rebellious, with no clear game plan or ideology. But I believed that in moving to the land of the forefathers I could somehow hammer out a meaning to all the ethnic baggage I'd been with laden with. This isn't Europe. Waitressing's no long term occupation. Am I that much better? I may be as useful as a drover's pup when it comes to helping find work...

corroboree: That's What I Call Inverse Racism
http://corroboree-oznyisrael.blogspot.com/2013/02/thats-what-i-call-inverse-racism.html
That's What I Call Inverse Racism. This is something I sent as a letter to the editor at HaAretz (the original in Hebrew). It relects my personal and subjective take on how Ben Zygier is being represented to the public by at least some Israeli journalists. I doubt it will get published. :. I'm an Australian/Israeli and since the Prisoner X story exploded onto the scene I've. No explanation. As. RBY has it Zygier didn't commit treason he was just a chatterbox. In the establishment's efforts to go into dam...
