Rebranding and Renaming iSrael
The Knesset approved a bill changing the name of the Jewish state from Israel to iSrael, effective immediately.
"We learned from the iPad, iPhone and iTouch that the lower case "i" is great branding," said Avital Leibovich of the iDF Spokesman's dept. "It conveys a high tech image we can tap into since it's also the first letter of our country's name."
She, along with a representative from the iEmbassy in London, blogger Aussie Dave of iSraellyCool, and Jeffrey Halper of iCAHD, were invited by iBA radio to discuss the effects of the name change.
Not everyone was happy with the move though. "We'll have to change all our stationary," griped one AiPAC official speaking on condition of anonymity.
 Happy Purim to all our readers.

Uh, this isn't witty, it's just sorta stupid. And people don't come here for weird jokes. What are you doing?

Its the dumb joke time of year. I can predict it to the day for the next 10 years if you like.

Where's your sense of humour, Reality? Even me, an old British goy, got a laugh at the stories. I think they're great ands I bet the BBC and the Independent newspaper (R. Fisk) are checking the facts out right now.
Keep up the good work.
