- This was the world's first mass targeted assassination, where Hezbollah was made to self-select the targets. It also neutralized one of Hezbollah's cruelest strategies: embedding its military among civilians. Mike and Gadi discuss the operation and what may or may not come next.
Also on this episode: Netanyahu's decision to oust minister of security Yoav Gallant has not been reversed. If Gideon Saar is to replace Gallant, it's time to introduce you to the unbelievable story that is this man's political career.
And lastly: we're looking for a slogan. We'll be happy to get your suggestions in the comments.
Your conclusion is 100% right. Humour is crucial if you want to endure pain.
‘Something is rotten in the State of Micronesia and Denmark’…..cute yet sensitive and brilliant conversation btw two amazing friends…
Love the humor, love you guys, just carry on. .All the best from johannesburg, south africa❤
I like your conversational style. Humor is not inappropriate for serious matters - on the contrary it breaks the tension. Carry on!
Enjoyed your conversation!!
With round 2 of operation below the belt just after this episode released, Israel Update will need to become a daily show to keep up!!
Keep up the informality and the sense of humor! It’s a big part of what makes the podcast great.
I love the two of you! Your humor enhances the show.
On Carlson (and Candace O), their attitudes and ignorance about Jews and Israel should be called out. Many good people, including Trump supporters (I am one) have yet to comment on the anti-Semitic views they propagate, so I'm waiting.
Thank you! Looking forward to your next video.
Totally enjoyed your humor. Todah from Ohio!
maintain your style! It's real and most appropriate, and appreciated!
wonderful, informative, conversational overview, delivered with great insight and sardonic humour
At 47 minutes in, I do appreciate your humor. We have to hold on to humor as we face into the lies of the media, the threats of a world stuck in medieval times and bizarre accusations from a younger generation of totalitarians. If you can't laugh, we're left only crying.
I couldn't agree more.
You guys are great and I love the 'folksiness'. I'm commenting for the algorithm... 🇮🇱🙏💙
Way to massage the algorithm!
Criticism accepted. I have lost my sense of humour since the initial attack. Feeling under siege 24/7 hasn't been pleasant.
I will try to have more of an Israeli attitude. I will continue watch your show and I will force myself to enjoy your brand of humour. 😉
Respect from Sydney.
Am Yisrael Chai.
It's okay...as previously stated, some don't want humor because they can't handle it; others because they don't want it touching their pain, and even some just want more intellectual and heady discussions. I prefer humor in most instances because staying serious (or fearful) is a much worse alternative. There are times I want less humor and more analysis, however. But many of humanity's representatives need to lighten up quite a bit (not saying you do), but that's for each person to decide for him/herself.
Thanks. We weren't criticizing you, just defining our roles here. It looks like we are both committed to this thing, whatever it is, for a the long haul, so it is good to clarify what it is. Thank you.

We are all in this mess that none of us asked for. And it has elicited many different responses that can hover between optimism and despair on any given day.
Watching you and Gadi is always a better day.
I guess the pun was inevitable. "Is that a bomb in your pocket or are you just happy to see me"?
Keep it folksy! Screw the naysayers.
Thanks to you both. I really appreciate getting a bit of both cultures, and as an olah with minimal Hebrew, it's great to hear what's happening in the Israeli press. Also, "supporting the algorithm" is catchy.
Just keep reading the news in Hebrew and watching as much TV/Internet videos as you can (for whatever content you like) and talk with people from your language in Hebrew so they can correct you (unless of course, you're from Micronesia, and to that I would say go back home and make sure they vote for Israel....they need you :-) ).
MIKE: "The operation could not be more ..."
THE WORLD: "The operation should not be."
Thank you so much
The humor is essentially part of the program!
This is a very (good) Jewish feature, maybe even an evolutionary skill.
Thank you. Keep the good work.
Your conversations are unusually insightful amd informative but I find them quite grim. Your humor makes it easier to listen to information which is disillusioning.
Glad to see you Guys❣️Sometimes I Do Love Tech. Choose Life is the Message ✝️
Blessings❣️
P.S I agree with you, Please Don’t Change format❗️
Thanks for wonderful podcasts
Keep the humour as is.
Gladiolus looks like my father, but a little younger. That’s a great slogan!😂😂😂
This is my favourite podcast!!! Love you guys
Comment and subscribe, folks! This fine channel must grow larger.🇮🇱❤
How about this, "Israel Update - Expert commentary from below the belt.'
or Expert commentary that hits below the belt!
I like your style! Humor is much needed. I also like your razor-sharp slogan, "We cut through the media bias." From time to time, you can also add, "As funny as possible under the circumstances!"
I'm definitely going to steal that. Thanks.
Gadi and Mike, thank you again....Chocolate Gadi....))) PLEASE (I feel like begging!!!) Pay more attention to advertising your wonderful dialogs....Its fu...g important!!!!!
Operation Below the Belt is good. The best name I've seen is Operation Grim Beeper.
my fav so far is Operation Brit M'Allah
“Grim Beeper”
LILOLOLOLOLIL!
Love it.
"this operation targeted demography" - outstanding!
missed you🙂
please don’t change the mood/levity of the show - I haven’t enjoyed listening to two men talk back and forth to each other since CarTalk (I hope the reference is known and well received - meant as the highest compliment)
Click and Clack, the tappet brothers. I used to listen to them. This is high praise, the nicest thing anyone has said to us. Thank you!
Your last quip alone was worth the the entire 90m investment! Keep the humor coming guys…
Paging Ossama! Paging Sayed! Paging Abdullah! Hello! Hello! Hello??? Anybody there???
Absolutely Genius 😀😀🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱
Love you guys! Brilliant and funny. (Not saying which one of you is which.) Thanks for keeping the despair at bay😹
Don't change a thing
My suspicion to timing, why now?
Is it so Galant wont be replaced as a defense minister by Saar.
I laughed out loud, Mike. Israel updated sex and chocolate.
It has to be 😂
I love your show/program.
Thanks 🙏
Roger Froikin wrote,"One Hadith claimed that if a man was castrated he would not be admitted at death to Jinnah (Paradise). This could scare some of those Hezbollah guys."
HalleluYah, There’s a God in Israel! Am Israel chai!!!
"Like us?!" Love that 😅
The left in Israel sounds similar to the left in the west.
@Lyndadeve1376
That’s their “diversity.” It’s their “strength.” 😅
Both are run by the same pocket owners
Their funding sources are one and the same...
Americans used to be like this.
I love the way you guys banter🤣
AArgh Jeez Har aaarr can't stop laughing Haar Haar couldn't make it up Brilliant can't wait for Movie
it's a fun "Star Wars" operation. But does it beat "Mad Max"? It was disruptive, but not decisive. It's not going to move the Hezbo forces North of the Litani, nor clean out the Bekka Valley.
Star Wars can mitigate Iran's disruptive military capabilities significantly but it can't defeat them.
@@michaeldoran3568 - indeed. Thank you for your response, Dr. Doran. But if "Star Wars" can only mitigate and if Iran's "Mad Max RIng of Fire" plus nuclear umbrella, can slowly strangle Israel (today the North, tomorrow the West Bank/Judea-Samaria?), how does Israel cut the gordian knot around its throat? A conventional offensive into Lebanon? An offensive into S. Lebanon would require fighting through dozens of hilltop, stone construction mountain towns on windy roads, populated by Hezbo families (not to mention winter mud and clouds approaching). I don't see Kamala supporting that, especially if the IDF uses arty, tank fire and air to reduce IDF casualties (it would be interesting to bring on MG HaCohen and MG Brik to discuss a plausible operational concept for this). Régime change in Tehran?
Air horns
I did know that! I just didn't remember that I knew it, which I guess is kind of not knowing.
Please hire me to help you understand the complexities of the RUclips algorithm.
I'm still listening to the show and might tap on your profile after do you have videos on the essentials? Odd algorithms indeed
For the lay folks out here, how does it work generally speaking?
In Israel, there is indeed a civil war, that has not fully blown yet, clearly, there are two sides: the nomenklatura, which I identify as the elite Ashkenazi Jews (academicians, high bureaucracy, Tsahal high-rank officers, atheist by rule) not fond of being heirs of Judean middle-eastern tribes. They despise and even hate the other side, the underdogs, essentially the mizrahi and religious Jews, proud of their heritage.
I'm not sure I completely agree with all of this, though I do agree with the sentiment of the general observation. Yes, the left has antipathy for the right, and often less-so for Sephardic Jews; however, most of the ashkenazim are clearly not elite, and a large percentage are Dati or Haredi. I've often wondered if this split has been cut by a Haskalah knife and may have been part of the social and defensive politics in Central and Eastern Europe during the Holocaust as well (I'm not a scholar in that area at all). It seems like in Israel it's mostly the secular Israelis that get caught up by the elite to which you refer; in the US, it seems to be the liberals who get caught up in it, much moreso than the conservative Jews.
As an aside, I'd love to be a pollster assessing Jewish political and security values relating to Israel at the moment. I'd be curious to know if many long-term Democrats are bailing on the Democratic Party, or if they also don't trust the Republican party because of its history of and simmering anti-semitism.
Everyone asking/hoping “Is it beginning?” 😮 That seemed to be the obvious conclusion. But alas, they only followed up itwith more of the same. 🤨 Like the magician who pulls the rabbit out of his hat, …twice in a row. 😴And tomorrow? Another rabbit? 🙄
Count me among the disappointed.
ASIDE - thx for keeping your senses of humor, and your very effective format.
The God of Israel is at work against the enemy. He destroyed the enemy without firing a single bullet. Amazing. God be with you Israel.
Gadi - they are called "airhorns"
Thanks! I'll inform Mike. 😊
@@gaditaub1145 👌
What i want to know is why wasn't Nasrallah wearing his pager? Perhaps he's a Mossad agent. After all, he gave the order for operatives to wear the pagers all the time and yet he wasn't wearing one when it went off. Makes you wonder if he is complicit. If I were a senior Hezbollah official, I would have him marked for suspicion of working against the Lebanese people and Hezbollah.
"Cutting through the media bias"
Add "right" remove "the", making that "Cutting right through media bias".
Regarding slogans, this sort of reminds me of the story about a bank in the town of Red Bank, New Jersey that bought a bank in Long Branch, New Jersey, 6 miles away, and renamed it “The Long Branch Branch of the Red Bank Bank.” Aside from that, at this very moment, it is highly probably there are left-wing screen writers composing scripts for movies featuring the astonishing events of the past two days. It will be interesting to see the spin they put on these incredible events, plus the assassinations, inferring these were not justified by the unspeakable atrocities of October 7 and the Hamas subsequent war against Israel, using civilians as shields.
Mike, please advise the startled victim to have a qualified engineer check his bathroom for additional goodies. Mike, self-hatred is very immature.
in regard to what was your specific comment?
Slogan: Deliciously Flambe-ing Media Bias :-)
Keep up the great job dear brethren always informative and great sense of humor! Regarding the slogan .. i vote for cutting through the media by supporting the algorithm through sex and chocolate lol! Cutting through the media by@$$ for sure 100% cutting by ax that as by facts! As for Tucker, no apologee needed for me as a Maga Trumper .. Tucker is not worth following i stopped watching him since he did an interview with andrew tate, really no principles nor reporter ethics of investigating and studying about what you're presenting which is every reporter's basic, and then been bough by golf money to speak against Israel ..otherwise he is really ignorant and not qualified for talking in public, which is a shame for a person in his position. . his talk really makes him look so stupid specially when he gave that example of his kids fighting at home to compare it with Israel hamas war.. can't get dumber than that.. and unfortunately his followers don't discern.
Anyways, i'll remember to ask you about the joke you told your dad once dear brother Michel, it better be a good one lol.
God bless you and thank you so much for your great service. . the Lord bless you and keep you and your dear families all.
Soon Tucker will find himself ,upstream ,without a paddle . This is part of the pride journey happens to the best of them, HUMILITY IS VITAL . ❤
The joke was in bad taste!
Indeed. But then so is Carlson’s anti-Semitism. As Scott Johnson writes on PowerLine Blog…
“As anyone who pays the price of shedding brain cells to listen to the video will discover, Carlson agrees with Cooper. He isn’t just asking questions. He seeks to promote Cooper’s views.”
So, while I also found the joke in poor taste, the knowledge that Carlson is a schmuck made it less unpalatable now that he’s come out of that other closet.
Gadi maybe someone can send a new pager to Barry Saetoro!
Israel Update-Conversations on the Road to Justified Cynicism
What is the name of Mikes favorite newscaster?
Amit Segal
I doubt it was Micronesia or Denmark, sounds like a "Kia Boyzz" operation to me!
One original script for james bond movie😮
Sorry, i too dont get the "demography" joke...
Operation Brit M'Allah is my favorite, but requires a bit of Hebrew...
Was on the outside but now on the inside. ben gurion wasn't so hot.
He was a completely distilled human being , Being a Hebrew , one becomes a vessel , in God's hands . Keeping ones humor, , is a 50 50 chance . ❤
