It's called HUMOR a sence which you seem to have lost over the years.
5. our beach here in tel aviv is gross
yonatan ,   tlv   (07.28.08)
go up north (or south), basically anywhere but here to see the REAL beautiful beaches in israel.
6. true

ohhh, so much true in those words... i agree with all of it (specially the matkot and men in their underwear...gross)

While I thought the article was very funny, you do seem to favor those Ashkenazi stereotypes. Goldberg? Polish mother? Chicken soup? I think we probably could do with a bit of diversity. After all, you're talking about Israel here...not Brooklyn.
8. Chose your favorite beach
Mary Bloom ,   Tel Aviv   (07.29.08)
Check a shortlist of the different beaches in Tel Aviv and the differences between them at this page http://www.telaviv4fun.com/beaches than you'll dress accordingly :-)))

12. Israel Men in White Underwear
Jessica ,   Israel   (08.11.08)
Do you think that the Knesset will ever officially ban the use of tighty-whities with that horrible elastic band on the beach? I don't get how that is still legal! Doesn't that qualify as lewd behavior? Jessica http://aliyahsurvivalblog.wordpress.com/

Ha ha! I can't believe that's still happening! I lived in TA about 18yrs ago and those 'tighty-whities' used to scar the landscape then; I would've thought times had changed, but NO! There should be a national referendum!!!
14. this article is contravirtual
Shir Benjamin ,   Kfar Saba, Israel   (04.28.09)
well it's all nice and funny to crack some jokes about Israel to your probably jewish readers out there, but it's also an article wich represents a negative advocacy of Israel.. it puts us Israelis in a bad light and gives the country a bad reputation... think about the dammage that that kind of article can cause.. although it was partly true and funny as hell, you could also show the other awsome sides of Israel and especially the beach of Israel.

B"H You forgot about people wearing the most illogical color in the summer heat: black.
