Israeli Blog Roundup

Bad Hebrew Tattoos casts a beady eye over the current vogue for Israeli inkings. It's a trend started by celebrities but which you can increasingly see in everyday life. If you're thinking of getting one though be sure you and, more importantly, your tattoo artist, know what a Het and a Tav are . . . it could mean the difference between "Forgiven" and "Semolina".

Meanwhile CK over at Jewlicious celebrates the return of the Jewfro:

One of the more disturbing hair trends of the past decade is on its way out . . . What am I talking about? I'm talking about straight, flat hair achieved via daily use of a heating Iron and product.. . .Thank goodness for the inevitable end of that straight hair trend. It was just plain stupid.

Jameel writing on the Muqata blog comments on this week's fascinating story of the son of one of Hamas' founders. Known as "The Green Prince," Mosab Yousef has worked for some time as an informer for the Israeli authorities. The author suggests Yousef's allegiances should be an example to some prominent Israelis.

Makes you wonder how a Gazan-born Muslim, son of the founder and leader of a fundamentalist terror organization managed to orient his moral compass towards helping Israel, yet Ehud Barak and other Israelis are sure that in the same situation, they would have joined a terror organization.
