Squeezable Bibi | Half & Half
https://shmookty.wordpress.com/2010/02/22/squeezable-bibi
Categories: Half and Half. Cross-posted with The Huffington Post. The US. administration has played it all wrong with Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu. After one year with both Netanyahu and Obama in office, the only “success” America has chalked up is a “freeze” on settlement building in the West Bank which is actually only a temporary freeze, and isn’t really enforced to begin with. Value added tax on fruits and vegetables. The government had a great idea to hike up water prices to make people use...

A Sight for Sore Eyes | Half & Half
https://shmookty.wordpress.com/2010/02/17/a-sight-for-sore-eyes
A Sight for Sore Eyes. Categories: Half and Half. Two nights ago Karen and I spent a few hours holding Emma’s hand at an emergency clinic in Tel Aviv. She had been vomiting the whole day, and by then she was quite dehydrated. Watching your kid cry her eyes out when a doctor sticks an IV drip into her wrist is as painful as it gets. Thank G-d she’s OK now…. Another sight for sore eyes was a nice old lady sitting next to us in the nurse’s room. Turns out it was Yael Dayan. She looked so frail. So tired.

I’m Dreaming of a White Intifada | Half & Half
https://shmookty.wordpress.com/2010/03/11/im-dreaming-of-a-white-intifada
I’m Dreaming of a White Intifada. Categories: Half and Half. I’m dreaming of a white Intifada. Just like good ‘ole Ghandi used to do. Where the protests in Bil’in. And demos in Na’alin. Do more than a suicide bomber or two. 8212;————————. I’m dreaming of a white Intifada. With every blog post that I write. May your boycotts topple Bibi. And may all your Intifadas be white. 8212;————-. Lyrics: Ami “Seriously Twisted” Kaufman. Responses to “I’m Dreaming of a White Intifada”. Feed for this Entry. כתבתי משהו...

Izzie in HolyLand – Part 6. Categories: Izzie in Holyland. Oh my G-d, Ehud, I’m soooo stoked about Dubai! How cool was that operation? Yeah, it was pretty good. Oh, and that death squad! SOOO smoooooth. Did you check out that Gail Folliard? How hot is THAT chic? Oh my G-d, it’s like the Mossad must have some kind of Simon Cowell filtering out the ugly ones! Yup, she’s hot, she’s hot. Oh my G-d, I HAVE to call our buddies and see what they think…. Holy shit, Gordi, did you see the pics coming out of Dubai?

let the games be stalled! | Half & Half
https://shmookty.wordpress.com/2009/06/16/let-the-games-be-stalled
Let the games be stalled! Categories: Half and Half. As Barack Obama played golf. And Mir Hossein Moussavi was put in house arrest on Sunday, something bizarre happened on a blue podium on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. Some guy with a silver comb-over got up and said the words “Palestinian State”. His name, you ask? Netanyahu, Bibi Netanyahu. Did you say Bibi? And he said PS? Sky news actually came up with a good analysis. Threatening to chop his legs off. “OK, OK, I’ll do it! OK So he said yes to a Palesti...

By George, I think They’ve Got It! | Half & Half
https://shmookty.wordpress.com/2010/03/11/by-george-i-think-theyve-got-it
By George, I think They’ve Got It! Categories: Half and Half. Cross-posted with The Huffington Post. With Bibi Netanyahu turning out to be just another Yitzhak Shamir. But what’s even more impressive is the change of tactics, a change that might actually work. Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian Prime Minister serving under Palestinian Authority Chairman Abu Mazen, is now leading what many around the world are calling the White Intifada. Overnight, Fayyad has turned from a dull official into a charismatic poli...

Superbowling | Half & Half
https://shmookty.wordpress.com/2010/02/09/superbowling
Categories: Half and Half. Last night I watched the Superbowl. Watching the Superbowl in Israel is the epitome of being a Half and Halfer. And caffeine. In any form. Because the game starts at 1:30 am. Ends at 5:30 am. Over the years I’ve watched the game in different settings. First with Dad, as a kid. Then later as a teenager. But then Dad started getting tired and never made it till the end of the game. Then I was in the army. So, I missed 3 Superbowls. Now THAT’s Zionism. Me and my brand new La-Z-boy.

Oh My Gosh | Half & Half
https://shmookty.wordpress.com/2010/03/14/oh-my-gosh
Categories: Half and Half. I can’t decide whether I like this song by Efrat Gosh, or not. There’s something very cool about it, and yet extremely annoying at the same time…. But while searching for the video clip, I found out she made not one, not two – but seven different clips for it! Responses to “Oh My Gosh”. Feed for this Entry. March 15, 2010 at 00:15. Of course it’s extremely annoying when you hear it seven times in a row. March 15, 2010 at 08:20. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. Enter your comment here.

Once Again, Israel Shoots Itself in Both Legs | Half & Half
https://shmookty.wordpress.com/2010/02/19/once-again-israel-shoots-itself-in-both-legs
Once Again, Israel Shoots Itself in Both Legs. Cross-posted with The Huffington Post. Israelis have been going on and on for decades about how nobody understands us, about how we’re fighting for a just cause, and how it’s always the other guy’s fault. Over the years, governments in Jerusalem constantly changed their Hasbara. Meanwhile, Edelstein managed yesterday to launch his new campaign. An ambitious attempt to enlist basically every citizen into the Foreign Ministry, by training the common Israeli in...
