HAPPY SYLVESTER

Or...as some people call it...Happy New Year!!
We talk about the weather, and what weather we had. We have relatives here but they don't have luggage. Is Tzipi Livni a ray of hope? Or not? Carol and Charley argue to bring in the New Year.

And from all of us at Israelisms, we want to wish all of you a happy and healthy New Year!

The final song is from Ayfo Ha Yeled.

AND PLEASE DIGG US!!

A Christmas Miracle

Charley and Carol agree! Olmert better do something. Charley is very ill and Carol doesn't care. Cease fires that are never cease fires. Bibi has a blog. Stupid ministers in Israel's government.

Make sure you go to YNetNews.com for all your Israel news.



Final song is by AYA KOREM and the name of the song is "Yonatan Shapira"

HAPPY HANUKKAH (Hanuka; Chanukah; Holidays)

Our Special Hanukah Show. We talk about some fun, absurd, could only happen in Israel stuff. Like the Keystone Kops, who some people call the Israel Police. Airlines just aren't kosher enough. Seats on the bus. Olmert bumbles again. Haniya can't show me da money. Sam's story from Chicago and Arielle's officer test.

If you REALLY want to laugh, view Yisrael Campbell's video clip from his one man show "It's Not In Heaven"

And that cool song in the beginning was from DOC MO SHE

And the final song is a little contribution from BARE NAKED LADIES!

Almost forgot...okay so I did forget and my apologies....but don't YOU forget to go to YNetNews.com for all your news from Israel!!

A Report Even A Terrorist Could Love

The Baker-Hamilton Report comes out. Hamas and Syria love it! Should that tell us something?

Charley talks with Josh Reinstein of The Knesset Christian Allies Caucus and finds out what it takes to get people over to our side.

Find out the inexplicable lurid escapades of a prominent Knesset member Charley uncovers while at the Crowne Plaza Hotel coffee shop.

Well, maybe not.

And more talk of the doings and non-doings of our government.

Final song is from Ayfo HaYeled called Meshehu Shomaya Otee (Someone Hears Me).

Give Cease A Chance

Our weather guy Steven gives a great report; the rapist and the Keystone Kops; Ray Hanania of YNetNews.com is a South Sider; Olmert talks good; King Abdullah puts a limit on immigration; the kind-of-a cease fire; the well deserved general strike; and Sam gets a job. Oh yeah...and Charley has the best stand-up show of his career but we'll never know for sure.

The final song is from  Ivri Lider called Yoter Tov Klume (Better Than Nothing). A little comment on the Cease Fire?

Our thanks to YNetNews.com and be sure to go there for all your Israel news.

Happy Thanksgiving

Well...at least for a while. Off to the States. The Weather Bard stays with us, though. And we have a guest commentator, Yaakov Lappin of YnetNews.com

We talk about our Defense Minister; Charley has an idea for some political action at the United Nations; Thanksgiving Turkey; and Thanksgiving debacle; Haredi Fashion Convention and ladies....please walk on the other side of the street.

Everyone say good-bye to Samantha for a while. She's off to the States.

Please check out YnetNews.com for your Israel news needs.

Our final song is by Caroline. A choice from Samantha. They're a new Israeli group.

Wrestlemania

Or maybe a little disagreement...about...stuff.

The Weather Bard bids adieu (sniff, sniff). Our thanks to Steven Cohen for a job incredibly done.

Comments on the comments, Israel's Post Office and indiscriminate charging, Arielle update, Sam's leaving on a jet plane.

Paula Abdul comes out of the closet.

Our thanks for the intro goes to The Ask Lyndon Podcast and Three Blind Mice

And we finish things off with YO - YA!

I Love A Parade

The Gay Pride Parade turns into a Gay Pride Event. Violence works. Haredim rioting for no good reason. Israel government folds again. Olmert does nothing so he can keep his job. Lieberman in charge of dismantling settlements, and other absurd situations.

The final song is by Eric Berman.

Thanks to Craig Patchett for the intro and be sure to listen to What's On! Podcast

Turnin' Down The Flame

And we're not talking about the weather. Although, we do talk about the weather. Israel weather, that is. Charley has a miserable time getting his car tested. The haredim (ultra-orthodox) are being ridiculous...again. The Israeli government is at a standstill, but Carol has a solution!

Check out a couple podcasts:
Southern Orange County Podcast

100 Word Stories Podcast

And our final song is by Beit Habubot

No More Jet Lag

And we're back to arguing. It feels good. There's a racist in the Knesset, but our elected officials don't care. Olmert doesn't care. Peretz doesn't care. Assassin's conjugal visit. Israel politics at its finest. Peres wants to be president, but you gotta promise. And Arielle survives a breakup.

Final song is an oldie by Kaveret.
