'Angry Arab' supports David Nachalawi

You might recall the story of the soldier who has become known as David Nachalawi, the IDF soldier who was dismissed from his unit by the IDF for cocking his weapon because he felt endangered in Hebron. Thousands of IDF soldiers have come out in support of 'Nachalawi.' In fact, rumor has it that so has President Obama.

Now, on Egyptian television, the 'Angry Arab' has also come out in favor of Nachalawi.

You need to understand Hebrew to really appreciate this video.

The original broadcast is from a news show in Egypt, but some Israeli put in Hebrew subtitles that had all of us in the office rolling on the floor laughing. I tried to translate it into English, but I can’t stop laughing as I watch, so I gave up.

The comments are also funny. The Israelis don’t realize the subtitles aren’t real, and the Arabs are confused as to why some of the text doesn’t exactly match what he’s saying.

I am embedding the video below. But it turns out that what's funniest about this video is the fake translation. The real video is from July 2013 and features an Egyptian opposition activist going ballistic after a speech by then-President Morsi. I'm embedding the real video with the real English translation below the fake one.

Let's go to the videotape (Hat Tip: NY Nana).



And here's the real translation into English from MEMRI in July 2013.

Let's go to the videotape.


Kind of reminds of you of some of the fake 'last days of Hitler' videos, doesn't it?
