Toda for this translation into English, I watched it 3 times my last trip back from Israel, and it got funnier every time, though there was no translation. Now hearing what is spoken I’m impressed by the depth of his comedy genius.

Where are you, Lisa? I came here hoping to read some sane commentary on this week’s Im Tirtzu and New Israel Fund controversy.

Comment on Crossing the divide on an electric guitar by Nathalie

I happen to know the band very well, personally even.
They do use a lot of middle-eastern instruments such as Qu’anun, oud and saz and many more which I can’t name from the top of my head.
On their new album they are working together with the Arabic Orchestra of Nazareth. They sing their version of Sapari, which is a 17th century song from Yemen.

And speaking of guitars, they have an endorsement from PRS guitars.

Comment on Tel Aviv: the ingathering of the refugees by Kate

I found this post while searching for Yum Cha or dumpling restaurants in Tel Aviv. I am from Australia and have been living in Israel for 7 months now and am starting to crave good asian cooking. I too am familiar with the gross stench and dirtiness of the central bus station and its surroundings. I catch the bus from yavneh to the central bus station every morning for work. I too hold my breath and also try not to touch anything if possible. I think its great that you and your friend went to explore. I think you captured a different side. I too have wanted to go and look around that area but am always a bit scared and i know my boyfriend would never want to. I feel bad that the people living there live in such disgusting conditions. The photos you both tool was beautiful, you have inspired me a little.
thanks.

p.s did that dumpling place have a name or a street.

I never undestood how big the love affair of Israeli’s is with humus. Till I met up with some Israel friends in Paris, who toured around 6 weeks in Europe with their band. When they arrived to the wonderful club in Paris, the biggest excitement for them was finding out someone had provided them with some humus in the backstage. Hey- they didn’t have any humus for 6 weeks!

Comment on Israeli media coverage of Lebanon’s latest crisis by rolfen

Im sorry for writing 3 comments. One thing I want to add is that this is probably the product of sentionalism, newspapers trying to inflate stories, and put emotions into them, because it sells better… Its just capitalism I guess.
