    THE SEVENTH DAY

    On the seventh day Israel cannot rest. Seven days ago Israel launched a major offensive against the Hamas government in Gaza.

    Rockets land in Beer Sheva and Ashdod. How many seconds do you have to seek shelter. 15, 30, or 45 seconds.

    Cyber terrorists strike Ynet.

    What do we want- Three no's- no more rockets, no more bombings and no more arming of Hamas. Wanted- Supervisor for Hamas Any takers?

    Oh and Woy Woy Woy we are 200 episodes old! We thank you all for listening and having fun with a couple of crazy people from Israel.

    Special Guest Appearance by RAY HANANIA, of The Israeli-Palestinian Comedy Tour

    WE NEED A MIRACLE!

    Its hard all over and Fonzie's scheming isn't helping!

    Labor preaches safe sex! and other ridiculous campaign tactics.

    No more ceasefire. Hey the media and the politicians said there was one. Have they ever lied to us before?! Oh who are they kidding. Why us thats who!

    We disagree on the fundamental way to change the dynamic in Gaza and we do what we do best when we disagree.

    How do you say lawsuit in Russian? A tragedy this week as 24 Russian tourists are killed in a bus crash.

    ONE FISH TWO FISH

    Carol may once again be stylish as The Gap and H&M will be coming to Israel.

    It's the election stupid! Everything you've ever wanted to know about Israeli politics and some things you'll wish you didn't.

    And no the Governor of Illinois did not get his political start in Israel!

    An example of how to correctly use the Israeli phrase "I'll show him from where the fish pisses-
    A member of the UN and the Israeli ambassador to the UN are talking.
    UN Member- " I hear the head of the General Assembly is going to try and stop you from speaking.
    Israeli Ambassador- " That's what he thinks! I'll show him from where the fish pisses!

    THE FIRST ANNUAL REALLY BIG MEAL DAY

    Charley is declared the funniest comedian in Israel!

    Sam gets an Italian cat.

    The House of contention- no it is not our house! Flames in Hebron and inflammatory language in the studio as we talk about the anti zionist radical right in Hebron. Eviction or evacuation- you say tomato.....

    Election 2009 A fair and balanced discussion- no really!

    YES WE CAN!

    Charley sticks to his guns and his mission to Stop Shas one facebook member at a time.

    Shas in the mean time gives him plenty of ammunition as Rabbi Yosef once again shows how dangerous he can be to Israeli society.

    Madness in Mubai has us glued to the TV

    The UN had a party and we were NOT invited.

    Jerusalem returns to the zionists!

    Bibi tries dazzling the public with the rock stars of Israeli politics.

    THE 64 CRAYOLA CRAYON QUESTION?

    If Meretz is the new Labor Party then is Labor the new Likud? Where will the madness end?

    Another member of Shas gets the Go Directly to Jail card for fraud.

    Hope remains eternal in Jerusalem. Nir Barkat wins the election. Can he save the city?

    Hamas breaks the ceasefire. No options to renew included in the lease at this time.

    Olmert tries to ruin Kadima and Livni. Can someone please arrest him already?,p> Gilad Shalit forced to wait till February. Shame on all who can fight for him but do not.

    Thunder and lightning in the White House.

    How will our election look? Lots of advice from our panel of experts!

    Nasrallah eats some bad hummus and he who should not be named will not be named anymore.

    PRIMARY COLORS

    Red would be the color of the faces of the polling companies who all got it wrong on the primary results. And the networks who couldn't wait fifteen minutes in their bid to outdo each other.

    Green is for Shas because its the color of money. Well in the US at least!

    Yellow is for Netanyahu and the Likud who want elections now under the premise of democracy and the fact they all have amnesia about Israeli history. They are afraid Tzipi just might put it all together. Instead they'll refer to her as a "girl" -tactics of scaredy cats.

    Blue is for Tzipi! The true blue hope of a nation!

    GENERAL HOSPITAL

    Luke and Laura played by Charley and Carol go to the hospital so Luke (Charley) can have a CT scan. Laura (Carol) prays for a bout of amnesia. No McDreamies or McSteamies in this episode.

    There's an opening on the psych ward for Ahmadenijad.

    CSI:TEL AVIV The body of four year old Rose has been found.

    Deri adds more spice to the pot that is the Jerusalem mayoral campaign but it could lead to food poisoning which means a trip to the ER and George Clooney doesn't work there anymore.

    THE MUPPET SHOW

    We left the sealed room this week and ventured out for a stroll in the Mamilla Mall and dinner at Dolphin Yam.

    One thing leads to another as Sarkozy visits Damascus. We get to talk about Gilad Shalit, Hezbollah's threats, Iran and Gaza.

    Not politics as usual as the race for mayor of Jerusalem heats up.

    We provide the balance for Fox News as we talk about what we think of Palin and McCain.

    A GOOD THING IN A SHORT PACKAGE

    Just a slightly shorter cast this week as our battery runs out. We fit it ALL in.

    A tragedy grips the public here. Sometimes the truth is stranger than fiction and harder to follow as we learn about the death of a four year old girl.

    Hamas ups the ante in their game of Lets Make A Deal. Behind door #1 is Gilad Shalit who has celebrated his third birthday as a captive held by Hamas.

    Iran sets up a missile system in its suburb, Lebanon as protection for Teheran from an Israeli or US strike. We are without a government to deal with the real threat from Iran.

    The Voice of Peace sails on. Abie Natan dies at age 81.

    Men behaving badly. Israeli's and Arabs.

    Even worse the government behaves badly making Ultra Orthodox schools culturally unique. Its the new euphemism for making legal what the governments past and present have been doing illegally and with our money!

    Gilad's comrades are discharged from the army at the end of their service. They have not forgotten him.

    Our last podcast....for 2007! This isn't a wrap-up podcast and we don't go over the past year. We don't talk about the things we covered in 2007, and there are no New Year's resolutions.

    We talk about a funeral!

    In memory of Yosef Mintz. He had a big influence on Carol's life, and we attended his funeral. We talk about the differences in funerals here and getting together with some old friends.



    And of course there's talk about Hamas and Olmert and the usual suspects.

    Also, there is a new political party in town and it was started by us! Check it out on Facebook and it's called Harove (the Majority).

    Happy New Year, everybody. Let's have a great 2008 together.

And then there were the successful operations in the Gaza Strip against Hamas the terrorists. Yom Kippur is gone and Succot is here...but we still couldn\'t come up with a snappy title for the show!

    The final song is from a group I found on MySpace from Tel Aviv. The name of the group is The Genders and the reason I was attracted to them is because the name of their album is "Virgin No. 72". I loved it! And the song is great, too. It\'s called, "Dome of the Rock". I usually don\'t pick groups that sing in English, but you\'ll see why they\'re an exception.

    Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves

    Our Finance Minister is an embezzler. People we don't know, but know. Twelve new judges, and only one that knows anything about law. A government in stand-by mode. And Carol still hasn't written a peace plan.

    Final song taken once again from MySpace! Her name is Ninet Tayeb and the song is called, Hee Yoda'at (She Knows)
