On the Face

Zvi (”Zvika”' Yehezkeli

Zvi Yehezkeli, the head of Channel 10's Arab Desk, did an interesting piece for the Friday night news magazine show: A few months after he had a serious motorcycle accident that had him homebound for a fair chunk of time, he joined a group of Israeli alpha males on a motorcycle trip in the Jordanian desert.

The trip required special permission from H.M. King Abdullah, not only because the Israeli guys were allowed to cross the Sheikh Hussein border without changing their license plates, but also because only policemen and the royal family are allowed to ride motorcycles in Jordan.

Arabic speakers might have fun listening to Zvi speak their language with a Hebrew accent.

Just as the end credits are rolling, Zvi says something like, “Peace starts with the heart, and these Jordanians who hosted a group of Israeli tourists have plenty of heart.” Awww…..

After viewing the video, la Noorster sent me the following Instant Message: “I think I'm about to faint from the testosterone residue.” She has such a way with words.

Kleek on ze photo and be taken to the video.
