But considering what's happening now in and around Israel, we just couldn't resist bringing this video to the attention of our readers, those who have already seen it and many more who we suspect will be viewing it for the first time. It's been hard to find anything funny or humorous about the current situation in Israel, but we think this one is really on target.
For those of you who are old enough to remember listening to the morning radio program Klavan and Finch on WNEW-1130AM in New York from 1952 to 1968, Andrew Klavan is the son of the show's co-host, Gene Klavan. He was born Jewish, but became an agnostic after his Bar Mitzvah and later converted to Christianity.
Andrew is a novelist who writes mysteries and psychological thrillers, and also posts biting satire in his blog Klavan on the Culture, featureed by PJ Media. This video is one of his best. And remember, it's only satire (or is it?)
Enjoy!

Loved it, even tho I had misgivings watching it, given you describe him as having converted to Xtianity. Not sure if that was relevant, but I do hope he finds his Jewish neshamah again. We need him!
ReplyDeleteYasher Koach to Andrew Klavan. Great thinking.
ReplyDeleteExcellent. I do remember Kalven and Finch, and they were superb. And by the way, what made you think you had to TELL us this is satire??
ReplyDeleteLove the humor. Much truth in it. Not a bad idea at all!!!
ReplyDeleteKlavan in the morning was a staple in our home while we all got ready for work and school in the 60's. I thought the voice sounded familiar, how else would a son sound? BTW, great analysis. Now, all you have to do is convince the 21 arab countries of your plan and we'll be set. Thanks!
