1. Who's the most undiplomatic ambassador?

When the French ambassador to Great Britain referred to Israel as "that shitty little country" no action was taken against him. And while his comment wasn't made in a public forum, he couldn't deny that he said it because it was heard by several people. But you certainly don't expect France to censure him in any way, do you?
2. GAM KEN DIPLOMAT..........

.........typical of these Foreign Ministry types. Israel deserves better. I bet he can't speak good English either like his counterpart in London......BOOSHA!!!!
3. At least thisIsraeli govt official is only rubbing noses

4. Benefit of the doubt??
Multi ,   Cultured???   (10.18.06)
I dont think that his words were misinterpreted or misconstrued.. The remarks in whatever context were distasteful and rascist and do not represent me as a Jew and especially not as an Australian. We have enough problems as it is with what is going on in Israel, we dont need to add more heat to the fire with unnecessarily stupid comments.
5. #1: SO WHAT???
Michael Steiner   (10.18.06)
Does the incident you describe give our representatives the right to be racist?!? Start using your brain already.
