ISRAELI VERSION OF POLITICAL SURVIVOR!



From Steven Plaut



"Announcing the new Israeli Reality Show "Israeli Political Survivor"

In the show, assorted people seeking to become political leaders go to

the ISLAND and then there are votes to see who gets dismissed. The only

problem is that whenever there is a vote to make one of the contestants

leave the ISLAND, ... they don't.

In the first vote, Shimon Peres is voted off the ISLAND but then does

not leave. Then Ehud Barak is voted off the ISLAND, and leaves but for

only a short break and comes back in order to introduce new FEAR FACTOR

into Israeli lives. Bibi Netanyahu gets voted off the ISLAND after

offering its bungalos to the PLO at Wye, but never leaves. Amram Mitzna

gets voted off the ISLAND but the Ariel Sharon announces he will be

standing in for Mitzna and representing him in all new rounds."
