Satire for the Masses

The Israeli Socio-Political Satire show Eretz Nehedret - ארץ נהדרת - lit. Wonderful Country is probably one of the sharpest, most biting, satires on television today.
They are definitely up there (at least in my book) with "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report".

On this week's show they had a sketch of hip-hop Hasbarah (Hebrew for "explanation" and what is colloquially known as Israeli for describing the efforts of explaining Israeli government policies, and to promote Israel to the world at large)

The video is brilliant - but unfortunately cannot be embedded at this time, so I've put the direct link here and translated the lyrics which are a mixture of Hebrew and English (everything emphasised is me translating the Hebrew/Hebrish terms)
Link to Video: It's Time for a War Anthem.
( Lyrics under the cut )

Hilarious!
So biting and true!
Though, I acknowledge... it may only be funny for the Israelis and other Hebrew speakers here.

"War is Over... There"

Every week, every day, there are demonstration over in the West Bank against the Gaza assault.
These demonstrations are nothing new, as they have been protesting against the building of a fence, a wall, which continues to usurp land from people whose land is already tenuous in their grip.
These demonstrations have been going on for years, since 2002.
That's eight years.
How many years has Southern Israel been under rocket attack?

A worrying trend has been showing over the past week.

There have been numerous Anti-Gaza assault demo's in the West Bank since the operation began.
Today, during such a protest, a Palestinian man was shot by IDF forces, this is the third casualty in as many days.
A soldier was wounded by rock throwers.

So... yeah.
