As for your comment, I hear what you are saying. There IS a real risk of people misconstruing mockery of a corrupt, ineffectual UN leader with racism. But in all honesty, I never even think of the color of his skin.

For better sound quality I suggest you loosen that uptight attitude that is stopping the oxygen from getting to the side of your brain that allows you to understand humor.

Also, one of your stated objectives is to help convert public opinion to Israel’s cause. If this is the case, your “humorous” reference to the Hebrew meaning of Kofi Annan’s name was pure disaster. Did you not think that many skeptical listeners would immediately associate the monkey reference with the color of Mr. Annan’s skin – and assume that you are making a racist, as opposed to a politically satirical point?? Please be more careful in future podcasts — comments like that hand ammunition to the anti-Zionists and do nothing to help our cause.

Actually, your neighbor should podcast. I found him very intelligent and diplomatic in his commentary. I think many more people would be persuaded by his way of explaining matters than by your ‘preach to the choir’ approach.

Please be sure to have one person speak at a time as well…it can be really difficult to decipher what is being said when there are 2 people talking over one another…at least when all we have to go by is the audio.

I do believe that kofi will be writing Yasser about that soon…
