Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu is getting excellent reviews from commenters following the release of his latest campaign video.
The video features a young couple that is about to leave for a night out when the baby-sitter knocks at the door. “You asked for a babysitter? You got a Bibi-sitter,” says Netanyahu.
"Look, it's either me or Tzipi [Livni] and Buji [Herzog],” he explains to the bewildered couple. The couple immediately protests that their children would need to babysit Herzog, and not the other way around. In addition, “by the time we return we'd have no house... he'd even hand over the carpets” – a play on the Hebrew words “shtichim” (carpets) and “shtachim” (territories).
As for “Tzipi” – the woman says she doubts that she would stay in the same place for two hours, and Netanyahu agrees she would probably have gone over to the neighbors' by the time they returned. This, of course, is a swipe at Livni's frequent migration from one political party to another.
At one point in the video, Netanyahu can be seen sitting in the couple's living room, watching Likud's earlier, banned campaign video, which featured Netanyahu as a kindergarten teacher trying to control rowdy children, who played the roles of Livni, Yesh Atid's Yair Lapid, Jewish Home's Naftali Bennett and Yisrael Beytenu's Avigdor Liberman. The video was banned because of the illegal use of child actors, but it seems the new video is a spin-off of sorts.

Great commercial!
One question tho’ - how does the expression “Bibi Sitter”
work in Hebrew, the language of the commercial? I don’t know the hebrew word for baby, but I believe it is something like “ti-nok-ee”, nothing like “baby”. Thus, “Bibi Sitter” would work for US audiences of the commercial, not Israeli.
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Too clever. Thanks for the ping.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Obama
EILAT, Israel – Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud Party hit back Sunday at a U.S.-linked organization staffed with former Obama campaigners now working to defeat Netanyahu in an upcoming general election.
Victory 2015, or V15, attracted U.S. media attention after it hired 270 Strategies, a consulting firm whose senior leadership is comprised mostly of former top staffers for President Obama’s 2012 re-election campaign.
During a press conference Sunday, the Likud Party officially accused V15 and other related nonprofits of being supported “through millions of dollars funneled from Europe, the U.S. and the New Israel Fund and international factors interested in bringing down Prime Minister Netanyahu” who think “that all means are appropriate.”
The Likud further called for Israel’s Central Elections Committee to outlaw V15′s activities to “ensure the integrity of the election.”
The party today will be filing an official complaint with the Committee seeking an injunction against V15, Likud sources said.
Reacting to the developments, Uri Wollman, V15′s spokesman, told WND his organization will not stop its campaign to ensure a center-left coalition forms the next government in Israel. http://www.wnd.com/2015/02/netanyahu-fires-back-at-ex-obama-team-plotting-his-defeat/
“Babysitter” is Heblish.
Lots of English words are in modern Hebrew, especially modern things like anything common after 1945, since America/England dominated the world culture.
More so in Israel than even the rest of the world, as it was an English colony and English proficiency is expected of all graduates.
Plus, our TV was terrible for 30 years and we just watched American sitcoms.
“colony” is not the right word, speaking of English proficiency.
“Protectorate?” Whatever it means when they had their Army here and made the laws.
