Has Yisrael Medad Become Mainstream?

If you go here at INN, you can learn about me, described thus on A7 Radio's "Life Lessons with Judy Simon" with Judy Simon

A series of coincidences led Yisrael Medad to be where he is today. First it was his mother's desire that he become a doctor which led to his Jewish education. Then he decided to study in Israel, which led him to become a part of the war effort, protecting the country from Moshav Amatzia.

A number of years later, he started working for various Knesset members, getting himself involved in politics.

When and why did Yisrael Medad chain himself to the Al Aqsa Mosque? How did he go from being radical to being mainstream? Tune in to find out.

Let me know what you think.

Deluded mainstream. Meir Dagan agrees. Here is the FT

William Hague, Britain’s foreign secretary, has been a friend for as long as he has been in long trousers. Germany’s Angela Merkel has been an unflinching ally. They care about the future of Israel. But with Mr Netanyahu, enough, they now say, is enough.

To American and European minds the strategic stability and security of the Middle East cannot be separated from Palestinian aspirations. Nor can Israel’s security. Mr Netanyahu is mapping a path to an Israel in which Jews are a minority and Palestinians are herded into Bantustans.

Loved the interview, Mr Medad. Listened to your story of the 67 war on my iPod walking around Morrisons supermarket in Ross-on-Wye, England.

Isn't technology *amazing*?

i could let you know what i think but your blog "moves" faster than facebook and frankly you're not the most responsive "blogmeister" as a result, so why should i? :)but by all means, go mainstream. whatever that means. i will continue to learn as much as i can from your excellent blog (which is too fast moving to allow for real discourse imo but c'est la vie) and wish you all success- "mainstream" or otherwise.

Yoni, when I figure out what you want, I'll do it.

As your wife said, you always get jobs where you do what you want. It seems you take the same cavalier attitude to your blog ;o)
