Snoopy the Goon is indeed an Israeli blogger – one I know and respect. His post is also indeed about a policeman who accepted a bribe. However, the policeman is not Israeli and the incident did not take place in Israel: the post is about a Russian policeman who took a bribe in Siberia.
How is this related to Israel?
Thank you Lisa for being the policewoman of everything I write in GVO regarding Israel. Without your watchful eye, I would certainly be at a loss and wouldn’t know my head from my foot in the Israeli blogosphere.
Sorry for the confusion.
Amira, if you cannot accept a constructive comment and insist on interpreting each one as a criticism, then you should find someone to replace you as MENA editor.
Thanks Lisa for showing your true intent. Thankfully, my position at GVO isn’t for you to decide on and thanks again for monitoring all my work on GVO regarding Israel. A second reading and constructive criticism is always welcome — when it isn’t spewed in a condescending manner.
So much to be grateful for on this glorious Sunday morning!
Lisa:
Your question in the end How is this related to Israel? has been answered by you in the first sentence: Snoopy the Goon is indeed an Israeli blogger – one I know and respect.
The title in Globalvoicesonline reads, “Israel: Policeman Bribed in Bashkiriya”
Is there a chance, a nano-chance that Israelis can only write about Israel and nothing else? Has Snoopy the Goon broken some secret code of sorts?
Amira: You were quite silly to have taken up this conversation with Lisa – after she had answered her own question.
It is not a rare thing at all, it is quite Aramaic – to give an answer ahead of the question. Some sort of reverse intelligence.
The comment’s only message seems to be:
Not enough pro-Israel round-ups? Sigh.
Er… My apologies all around, and I promise that the next time I will make it an Israeli policeman and he will swallow shekels. All in coins, too…
