Israeli Cabinet of Bloggers
Update: New appointments:
Minister of Student Affairs: Josh – A graduate student in Jerusalem
Minister of Wildlife: Hebrew Lion – Need you even ask
Ministry of European Affairs: Entre Nous, Bert
Minister of Anti-Idiotarianism: Benjamin
Israeli Ambassador to US: Yael
Inspired by Damian Penny’s cabinet of Canadian bloggers, I have done the same for Israeli bloggers, as a way of promoting their blogs. I know I myself discovered some new Israeli blogs along the way.
Note that many of these Ministries don’t actually exist, but would exist if I was appointed PM.
Minister of Compassion: Imshin – Read her writings and you’ll see why
Minister of Zionism: David Bogner – Living in Efrat and thus doing his bit to prevent Judah and Samaria from becoming Judenrein
Minister of Women’s Issues: Allison Kaplan Sommer – Author of My Uterus: Home of the Whopper
Minister of Communication: Balagan – Producer of the Israeli TV Knesset channel
Minister of Defense: Only in Israel – A blogger currently serving in the IDF
Minister of Public Relations: Shai – Eloquently articulates the issues
Minister of Sport: Anglosaxy – Will hopefully instill in Israelis his own fanaticism enthusiasm for soccer and other sports
Minister of Sound: Harry – Our very own blogging muso
Minister of Technology: Expat Egghead – Talks the tech talk
Ministers of Foreign Affairs: Lila, Oscar
Ministers Missing in Action: Tal G, Gil Shterzer
Ministers Without Portfolio: Gil, B, ly_ly
If you are an Israeli blogger, or know of one, that I have left out of my cabinet, or were included but feel you are more suited to another ministry, let me know and we’ll find a slot.

In true Israeli fashion, my first act as Minister of Zionism is to bring a motion of ‘No Confidence’ to the floor. No special reason…kacha.
Of course, after reading tomorrow’s blog entry you may revoke my tik! Stay tuned.
well, there’s HebrewLion. Giving another great view as someone who recently made aliyah from the US: http://hebrewlion.blogspot.com/

And there’s DutchBlog Israel. Maybe an Ambassador of some sort? http://yonathanbert.blogspot.com/
Minister of Self-Promotion: http://www.weirdchicken.com/jmh/
Great idea, Dave.
I would like to introduce you to Benjamin, a student at Beer Sheva’s BGU and his blog “diary of an anti-chomskyite” http://antichomsky.blogspot.com/
Keep up the good work!

Michael,
Are you located in Israel, or are you Israeli? If so, I will add you.
If not, you will have to wait for my “Jewish bloggers” cabinet!
