Its funny... but it makes a good point about the PA's spokesman saying one thing in English (and Hebrew) for the benefit of gullible Westerners and Israelis. But the irony overlooked here is the reverse is true: the Arabic is usually the accurate version. All the rest is just folderol or a bluff if you will, for the rest of the world.
I am an Orthodox Jew - some would even call me 'ultra-Orthodox.' Born in Boston, I was a corporate and securities attorney in New York City for seven years before making aliya to Israel in 1991 (I don't look it but I really am that old :-). I have been happily married to the same woman for thirty-five years, and we have eight children (bli ayin hara) ranging in age from 13 to 33 years and nine grandchildren. Four of our children are married! Before I started blogging I was a heavy contributor on a number of email lists and ran an email list called the Matzav from 2000-2004. You can contact me at: IsraelMatzav at gmail dot com
