Doesn't It Figure

As Charley is in the States, Carol did a podcast all by herself! But doesn't it figure...when she's ready to post it, the Internet is down in Zur Hadassa.

She's trying, folks. Hang in there.

TAKE ME OUT....

We're at the baseball game!! And I promise you'll hear all about it tomorrow because we've got our iRiver with us.

Wrapped in a thinly disguised excuse, Wikipedia deletes Israelisms Podcast from its listings, to the dismay of the show's listeners worldwide. One person's anti-Israel agenda seems enough for the Wikipedia editors to take action.

Jerusalem, ISRAEL(PRWEB)August24,2006--
Wikipedia has shown a surprising political anti-Israel opinion and booted Israelisms Podcast (http://www.israelisms.com) from its listings.

Even after overwhelming support for the retention of the most popular English language podcast broadcast from Israel, the editors today deleted the show from its offerings.

Some may have seen it as an advertisement; or Wikipedia shouldn't be political; or it doesn't belong in Wikipedia. But when the entry for "Daily Source Code", which is only an advertisement for DSC and Podshow remains untouched, it makes one wonder. When "Dawn and Drew" are there, it's obvious Wikipedia doesn't concern itself with "family-friendly" issues. When "Nobody Likes Onions" has, as part of their write-up "NLO is very politically incorrect", it's evident the Israelisms situation has nothing to do with all politics. And when "Madge Weinstein" from "Yeast Radio" claims "she" is "also the former lover of Ethel Merman", it's clear Wikipedia has no concern for taste.

So, what was it? It's pretty clear that the only entry for a podcast dealing with everyday life and talking about politics from within Israel bothered some people with an anti-Israel agenda, and either Wikipedia folded...

or they agree with that agenda.

The Family Is Here! The Family Is Here!

Watch for a special episode this week. Our family from Chicago is here in Jerusalem and we'll be doing a podcast with them ON LOCATION at their hotel!

It's a shame we can't do a vidcast because I'm sure everyone will all be talking at once and it's going to be impossible to tell the players without a scorecard. But that's our family for you.

Israelisms Podcast wishes to extend our deep sympathy and concern for the victims and all those affected by Hurricane Katrina. In an effort to help, in some little way, we'd like to supply this direct link to the United Jewish Communities' Hurricane Katrina Disaster Relief Fund. We ask all of our listeners to join in this humanitarian cause in any way you possibly can. Thanks.
