Lost Tribes. By Daniel Levy. Foreign Policy, January 15, 2013.
This Israeli election is not about Bibi.
It’s about nothing.
iBennett. Video. Eretz Nehederet (“A Wonderful Country”). Mako. In Hebrew.
Levy:
Israel’s
most popular political satire show, Eretz
Nehederet (“A Wonderful Country”), has caricatured him [Naftali Bennett] as
a new software app: the iBennett, a modern version of the old settler model –“no
beard, no crazy-mystical gaze, smaller kippa”—but with occasional glitches (the
spoof iBennett character recognizes there are other nations in God’s promised
land, sounding reasonable, but then reverts to type by claiming “God will
strike them with a plague of frogs”).
