We Didn’t Call You Behemoths

July 14, 2007 - 1:26 PM by

Several weeks ago, I wrote this post in response to an article that had appeared on the popular Israeli web Nana. The original article purported to provide an overview of the English-language blogosphere in Israel, with one of the more salient points being that as English-language blogs, the bloggers who write them are, in essence offering a skewed view of Israelis and of life in Israel, given that these bloggers, by virtue of the fact that they are native English speakers, are not at all representative of the average Israeli.

After publishing my response, I was asked by Dana Peer, the journalist who wrote the original article, to edit the my post to include her response to what I had written. They (they, in this case, being Dana herself) would translate the article into Hebrew, and post it on Nana. 

You can view the entire translation here.
