“Go, Butt, Go!”

“Go, Butt, Go!”

Those Pakistanis sure take their cricket seriously. Pakistan’s humbling one-day defeat in Perth on Friday night seems to have been the last straw for the fans back home, who took to the streets in their hundreds to burn bats, stumps and an effigy of PCB Chairman Ijaz Butt in protest. Mohammad Yousuf’s team play their [...]

The Day In Israel: Sunday Jan 31st, 2010

Hamas has vowed to avenge the death of one of their founding Hamasholes, Mahmoud al-Mabhouh, who they say was killed by Israeli agents accompanying National Infrastructures Minister Uzi Landau to the United Arab Emirates two weeks ago.

Goldstone Stuttering and Stammering

Goldstone Stuttering and Stammering

Richard Goldstone was recently invited to speak at Yale University. Apparently, he did not say much.  But judging by this video of a protest against him and his report, he took twice as long to say it. Bonus Goldstone dummy spit at 2:17.

Finding Malmo

Yesterday, I ripped Momo a new one. Today, it’s Malmo’s turn. Jewish residents in Malmo are furious after the Swedish town’s mayor, Ilmar Reepalu, equated Zionism to anti-Semitism in an interview published on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. During the interview with Skanska Dagbladet newspaper, Reepalu was asked whether he considered a public condemnation of anti-Semitism [...]

Hacked!

Today, Israellycool was hacked for the first time, rendering it inaccessible. It looks like my web site host PressHarbor was able to rid the site of the virus which was placed in my files, but in the meantime I seem to have lost my previous theme. Please bear with me while I try to restore [...]

From Momo to Mofo

From Momo to Mofo

Israeli film afficionados – and perhaps even those of the B movie film genre – may be familar with the Eskimo Limon (‘Lemon Popsicle’) film series, which enjoyed much success in the late Seventies and early Eighties, of which the original was remade as The Last American Virgin for US audiences. From a Lemon Popsicle [...]

Strike a Pose

Strike a Pose

Another day, another series of palestinian “prisoner” pictures. And you know what that means. Really. Lame. Poses.

And if you think that is a bad look, check this [...]
