Updates (Israel time; most recent at top)
9:50PM: The Melbourne Film festival has refused to give in to blackmail from anti-Israel British director Ken Loach.

7:06PM: Please tell me this wasn’t deliberate.
7:00PM: Former Prime Minister Ehud Olmert could be in trouble.
6:58PM: Weird referrer of the day: The left-wing site Grateful Child has linked to here, presumably on the assumption that my inclusion of the Bilin protest video in yesterday’s post was indicative of my support for such a protest, rather than just a matter of including another example of Hairstyle Man going bananas.
