In this week’s Tribal Update brought to you by Latma, the Hebrew-language satire website I edit, we feature an exclusive interview with Obama’s advisor for reality perception, John Zelokoreli (John Itsnothappeningtome) discussing the administration’s decision to upgrade the PLO office in Washington.
We also feature Dr. Hagai Saviv (Circle Round), an expert in Middle Eastern culture and military commentator who provides the context for last week’s attacks on Israel from Egypt, Gaza and Lebanon.
As I mentioned last week, I am raising funds now to launch Latma in English with English-speaking actors. If you would like to help us, you can contribute to our efforts by clicking here. It takes you to the online contribution page to the Center for Security Policy through Network for Good. Latma is an initiative of the Center for Security Policy in Washington, DC. To earmark your donation to Latma, please write “Latma” in the box marked “designation.”
Thanks for your support!
I hope you enjoy and post our show on your websites.

Here’s the full broadcast.
And here’s the clip with Obama’s advisor.
Shavuah tov Caroline. Kudos to you and the team for conveying the true nature of the beast. Unfortunately some who should be watching this aren’t and therein lies the problem. Please keep them coming and I will continue to help when I can.
Caroline, thanks so much for this week’s “reality check” via Latma. Satire is in short supply these days, and yours hits the mark with amazingly lethal accuracy. I’ll certainly share it with all my friends and allies. Will also consider a financial donation to support an English language version, which would be fun for those of us who are not Israelis. But, honestly, I like your Latma troupe as is, comic actors don’t get much better — there’s nothing comparable on “Saturday Night Live” — and the songs sound edgier (even funnier) in modern Hebrew. Keep up the great work: we need your programming more than ever!
We love the current actors and would miss them if you took them away from us. Please, if you are going to use English speaking actors, continue to post the Hebrew Latma with English subtitles. We’ll give the new actors a try, but reserve the right to watch the English subtitled version!
A plea from a non-Hebrew Speaker
Please keep the current actors with English subtitles. Latma TV is fantastic just as it is!

Totally keep these actors. Keep Hebrew as well. Maybe teach Americans to read subtitles, though that would be a grand project.
