How to shoot yourself in the foot: A short tutorial by the Government of Israel
Jan.13, 2010
Sometimes individuals pursue self-destructive policies, sometimes companies do. But on this occasion, the Government of Israel shows us how to lose all your friends in no time flat! Watch the Israeli government and learn what NOT to do:
Turth be told, this Danny Aylon character (aka Insolent Jackass), the Deputy Foreign Minister of Israel, is a real piece of work. At a time when Israel is more isolated in world affairs than it has been at any time in the recent past, this ill-mannered brute decides to pull off a stunt that will do nothing other than destroy the last shreds of credibility his government is extended in certain quarters. In response to Turkish protests agains the treatment of Palestinians in Israel, the Foreign Ministry of Israel summoned the Turkish Ambassador yesterday, providing him with a low chair to sit in and against all diplomatic norms - removing the Turkish flag from the conference table. Of course, since this alone did not suffice, Aylon also had to announce all this to the media people covering the event in Hebrew. Why in Hebrew? Were you scared, Aylon, that your little act would backfire had the Turkish Ambassador walked out? But seriously though, what class and what finesse! The only thing lacking was having a 1-800-Rent-a-brute thug standing behind Danny the Mafioso. It certainly would have gone perfectly with the image of the Netanyahu government.
