This week on The Tribal Update, the weekly television on Internet news satire show produced by Latma, the Hebrew-language media satire website I lead, we feature an interview with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu in which he is asked about his tendency to change political views with the weather. In response to the questions, Bibi tipped his hat to the Maccabeats from Yeshiva University and broke out in song.
We also feature a discussion of Israel's policy towards illegal immigrants and tourists alike and ask the woman on the street what she knows about Israel.
Here is the entire episode:
Here is Bibi channeling the Maccabeats:
Be sure to circulate these videos far and wide and post them on your blogs!
In other Latma news, I was asked to give testimony before the Knesset's Public Diplomacy, Aliyah and Absorption Committee on Monday about Latma's view of Israel's public diplomacy (hasbara). Hopefully I'll have some photos to post after it is over.
Latma is funded through contributions to the Center for Security Policy in Washington. If you would like to support our efforts, you can contribute by clicking here. It takes you to the online contribution page to the Center for Security Policy through Network for Good. To earmark your donation to Latma, please write "Latma" in the box marked "designation."
We just registered a non-profit organization -- The Zionist Incubator -- here in Israel that will be able to accept donations for Latma from outside the US. As soon as we open our bank account I will provide information about how to donate.
Thanks again for your support for Latma and its important work in developing a public discourse in Israel that is relevant to the challenges facing our country.

Very good video!
For the record Caroline, I'm with the Swiss on that one. And I loved the Bibi song!
Caroline, excellent as always. Bibi talking out of both sides of his mouth as usual. Perhaps he should be sent a copy considering the comments he made after the brutal massacre of the Fogel family on Shabbat. May the remaining children be comforted among the mourners in Zion.
