Melanie Philips' Brilliant, But Too Polite, IBA Interview
The Melanie Philips interview is the best thing I've seen on Israeli TV in a very long time. By calling Israeli Hasbara Information a "joke," she shocked the veteran Israeli newscaster Yaakov Achimeir, who then tried to convince her that a Pseudostinian aka Palestinian sic State would be a good solution. I wish she had been less polite, but then maybe they would have censored out her reply.
It was a real pleasure to hear common sense on Israeli TV News. No surprise that it came from a woman!

Yaakov Achimeir shows that he himself is a victim of the numb leftist stupidity which permeates throughout Israeli and western mass media.
I used to think he was a cut above the rest. I was wrong.
He's just like the rest of them.
achimeir comes from a strongly right wing family; i do not know his politics. i think he did a very nice interview, allowing mf to speak, while questioning her.
mf did a good job in her own right. there is nothing wrong with being polite and sticking to your guns. in fact, i think it is the way to go -- more influential that way.
Achimeir's father was very much to the Right of his sons.
At least he was polite to Philips, though he sounded like an idiot. She kept a straight face; I couldn't have pulled it off as well.
