Regular readers will know I am a big fan of Andrew Bolt, the Australian political commentator, Sky News Australia host, all round mensch, and someone I am proud to call my friend.
Andrew is currently on a lightning trip to Israel – a very brief holiday on his own dime, despite the haters trying to suggest he is here on a Zionist-funded junket.
That is not to say his holiday has involved just lounging on the beach; Andrew has been filing reports and even visited the devastated Gaza envelope communities:
Andrew, normally the interviewer, even played the role of interviewee on Israel’s i24 News:

Despite Andrew’s packed schedule, he thankfully made time for catching up with me over breakfast this morning, in the crossover we had to have:
Thank you, Andrew, for your journalistic integrity and for standing for truth and morality. We truly appreciate it.
