It’s been a good 22 years since I took French classes, and I was trying to remember the French word that best described the word’ Chutzpah’. Then I heard the news and the word became clear. The word is  Sarkozy.

Who does this guy think he is? According to a Ynet article: “Channel 2 reported Monday that during Netanyahu’s meeting with Sarkozy in Paris the latter said the prime minister should appoint Opposition chairwoman Tzipi Livni in Lieberman’s place. “With her and (Defense Minister Ehud) Barak you can make history”, he was quoted as saying. “I have always accepted Israeli foreign ministers, and I loved to have Tzipi Livni here at the Elysee, but with (Lieberman) I can’t,” he was reported as saying with a wave of his hand.”

Pardoner Mois! We don’t tell you how to run your foreign affairs so what gives you the right to tell Israel how to conduct domestic politics?

The reporting of this despicable act was met with a brilliant response from PM Avigdor Lieberman.  ” Speaking to Ynet, the official said “France has meddled in another democracy’s affairs. This is intolerable. We don’t plan on asking for clarifications from Paris, but rather intend to ignore the matter entirely. I am certain that if you ask Israel’s citizens who they want in charge of appointing their foreign minister, the answer will not be the French.”

Amen.

There is an interesting story in Ynet about how Israel has recruited bloggers to help get out a ‘pro-Israel’ message. According to the story: “The Absorption Ministry is recruiting new immigrants and Jews living abroad who have access to a computer and who speak a second language to a volunteer effort to improve public relations for Israel on the internet. The campaign was launched last week. In the cross hairs are problematic blogs, talkbacks, online social networks, online polls, Youtube videos, and more. The ministry was amazed by the massive response to the effort. More than 1,000 interested applicants contacted them, of which 350 are Russian speakers, 250 English speakers, 150 Spanish speakers, 100 French speakers, and 50 German speakers.”

Apparently the Foreign Ministry, headed by PM wannabe Tzipi Livni, wanted part of this program as well and it became a joint venture between both ministries. What’s funny is that 1,000 bloggers are taking the place of the actual foreign ministry/minister. Wasn’t she running all over the world trying to get the Israeli side of the story out? Does this mean that she has admitted failure?

Humm????
