I’m going to give the Hot Hasbara Award to the reader who comes up with the best caption for this image. It’s simply too priceless to go uncaptioned. You wonder what the hell these two old geezers were actually saying when they made these gestures and faces. What makes this even funnier and slightly touching is that both of them are professional politicians with decades of service to their country (though Biden isn’t quite a dotty as Peres tends to get at times).
To be clear, I’m not saying that anything either one of them stands for is touching. But there’s a touch of something a bit balmy, sweet and perhaps over the top about their poses…something of comic opera about this image. Shimon’s doing an Al Jolson Jewish cantor routine. Or a Broadway version of Tevye in Fiddler on the Roof:
Shimon: “If I was the PM, deidle deidle deidle dum. All day long I’d deidle deidle dum, if I was the PM.”
Hey seriously Joe, im yirtzeh ha-Shem, I’ll see you in Davos next winter. We’ll check out the ski bunnies before I trash the Goldstone Report on the panel, How to Give Good Hasbara.
Joe looks like he’s a character out of opera bouffe. But go at it. Let’s see how good you folks are.

Hey, Joe, those implants look almost as real as the prospects for peace. Har, har.
Peres to Biden: "If you had five nostrils I could pick your nose".
Maybe they were both looking at the Goodyear blimp that was on the horizon that said "SIXTEEN HUNDRED NEW APARTMENTS TO BE BUILT IN EAST JERUSALEM" but it wasn't quite in focus yet.
"From my lips to your ears, see how the sky opens when we meet!"
Peres to Biden: "Just because our promises of no more settlement building are all pie in the sky doesn't mean you can actually see them up there."
"Joe, forget those new buildings in East Jerusalem, focus on the great job we're doing for you threatening Iran!"
"Yahweh promises you the votes in November , just kowtow to Bibi "
U.S. vice-President JOE BIDEN, ‘I pledge allegience to the flag of the united-states of Israel-Firsters;
and to the ‘Star’ for which it stands, one nation under New World Order, without liberty and justice for all’.
Somewheeeeeeehre, over the rainbow, way up high……….there's a land that I heard of, once in a lullaby.
