It would be a tragedy if LATMA went off the air

For the last four years, LATMA has provided a Zionist answer to the Leftist satire of Channel 2's Eretz Nehederet. Now, it may all be over. Unless LATMA finds funding, it's off the air at the end of the month (Hat Tip: NY Nana).

Latma's chief screenwriter, Tal Gilad, published a Facebook status Sunday in which he denied the rumors that Channel 1 television is about to sign a contract with the show. "The bad guys are already celebrating," he wrote. The channel has been negotiating with Latma for two years, he said, but the negotiations are not serious.

"The ravens on the left can already smell the zero hour," Gilad added. "After four years in which we provided Zionist, courageous, Israeli satire – against the current, against all of the leftist incitement that had already become something everyone sat back and accepted, because they convinced everyone that 'this is how satire is.' Four year in which we cut them down. Four years in which the ears of [Peace Now's] Yariv Oppenheimer turned red with anger,  when they discovered that they were not immune to criticism and biting satire."

"The inciters, the boycotters and the enemies of Israel also got their drubbings – from the Mavi Marmara clip that received millions of views, boosted morale in Israel and changed the outlook of many people in the world; to the Abba clip that infuriated Swedes after the Aftonbladet libel; to our beloved Tawil Fadiha, Palestinian Minister of Uncontrollable Rage – a character that would never have been created in the 'regular' satirical programs that keep hammering you over the head from the TV screens."

For those of you who have forgotten... I will turn the sound off for myself, because I am still in mourning for my father HK"M (may I atone for his sins), and remind you of the all-time hit We Con the World (2,629,867 views on YouTube right now).

Let's go to the videotape.



Here's another one called Jews United Against Israel. George Soros plays a key role in this one.

It would be a pity if they were taken off the air. Anyone know how to reach Irving Moskowitz or Sheldon Adelson? They could sure help out now.
