ISRAEL RECALLS ‘NAKED AMBASSADOR’
Israel has recalled its ambassador to El Salvador after he was found drunk and naked apart from bondage gear.
Reports say he was able to identify himself to police only after a rubber ball had been removed from his mouth.
A foreign ministry official described Ambassador Tzuriel Refael’s behaviour as an unprecedented embarrassment.The incident, which happened two weeks ago, has renewed calls for a radical overhaul of the way Israel appoints and promotes its diplomats.
San Salvador was Mr Refael’s first post as ambassador. He was promoted in 2006 from a technical position in the ministry which had involved several foreign postings.
He was being recalled, although he had not broken any laws, foreign ministry spokeswoman Zehavit Ben-Hillel told reporters.
She confirmed that lurid reports of the incident in the Israeli press were accurate.
"We’re talking about behaviour that is unbecoming of a diplomat," she said.
Israel has been rocked by a recent series of misconduct and corruption scandals, shaking public confidence in the political leadership.
Haaretz website reports that police found Mr Refael in the Israeli embassy compound where he had been found bound, gagged and naked apart from sado-masochistic sex accessories.
In 2006, Israel’s diplomatic service was criticised by the public watchdog for its appointments system.
The state comptroller’s report singled out the foreign ministry appointments committee for its inadequate examination of candidates and lack of transparency.

Gotta love those gag balls. Maybe he was pretending to be the Gimp from Pulp Fiction?

March 31, 2007 at 12:09 pm #124070not a fan of sting so find this funny, although Weller played a song with Noel Gallagher just prior to this incident, maybe that contributed to his bad mood…
Quote:Instead, Weller took his aggression out on a photo of Sting that was hanging on a wall at the venue. According to England’s Mirror newspaper, he "marched straight up to it [the photo], coughed-up as much phlegm as he could muster and planted it plum in the middle of The Police frontman’s head… as he walked away, Weller then snarled: ‘Fucking twat!’"Weller apparently has a major dislike of the lute and tantric sex afficionado, as NME.com attributed this recent quote about Sting to him:
"He’s a fucking horrible man. Not my cup of tea at all. Fucking rubbish. No edge, no attitude, no nothing."

April 16, 2007 at 4:22 pm #124075Man anyone following what happened at Virginia Tech Today? Fucking crazy, I feel sorry for all of the families of those students. Terrible news.
April 17, 2007 at 3:21 pm #124076Yea, a friend of mine is going to school there next year. Wild stuff.
April 17, 2007 at 4:53 pm #124077They need to use digital prints to identify some of the victims. I don’t even want to think why that is.
R.I.P. and my condolences to the families, friends, faculty and other students.
April 17, 2007 at 11:26 pm #124078so many media outlets are using the word "Shocking" to describe this event.
I must say I was not shocked, after what happened at that high school in Colorado,then
September 11th, and at the Amish school last year, the one where the
guy brought rope and and other bondage material in order to facilitate raping the young girls before
shooting them, some as young as 6, I just don’t have a lot of "shock" left in my brain.One thing I know is Virginia has the same carry and conceal law that Georgia does:
basically if you own a gun and have a permit for it you can carry that gun on your person hidden.but you can NOT carry a gun into a school or on to a college campus.
Those kids were sitting ducks…………in this country we either ban guns altogether (which isn’t going to happen)
or we support folks who carry responsibly.If just one of those scared out of their wits brave young men or women had a glock tucked into their laptop case
they could have tried to do something to stop this. I hate all kinds of crime but violent crime against innocent people
makes me very pissed off.Now the Clint Eastwood really is coming out………..and I hope Robert and Maxini can see why I feel the way I do about guns. There is a F*ck of a lot of f*cked up folks walking around these days, thanks to modern parenting many kids have no connection to spirituality, if you are only living in this world full of worldliness, with no spiritual balance you often have no conscious.
Smart people keep Syrup of ipecac and an EpiPen in their houses, most getting through life without ever having to use either one of them.
I say Go ahead make my day……….walk into my German class with your 9mm handgunhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vizegt9L9GA Vizegt9L9GA
April 18, 2007 at 9:50 am #124079I think there’s still shock left in my brain. Like when I go out on the town (not necessarily my town) on a Saturday night, and I’m just not sure whether there will be a shoot-out at 3 a.m. because some twits decided that they wanted to be twits. The other night, when I went to town, there was another downtown shooting. You never know whether you’ll be caught in the crossfire.
There’s shock left in my brain when I remember hearing the sound of 2 rounds of firepower going off near my home. I called the police the next morning. I was told I called too late. This was a couple of weeks before the Dawson shooting which happened 8 months ago. What if it was that crazy jerk?
Then, I see a documentary about entire viallges in Iraq, people who cannot identify their loved ones because they are left in pieces. Legs, arms, heads, hair, hands. It is disgusting. It is a disgusting symbol of power.
April 19, 2007 at 11:09 am #124080Well I just found a cure for all of my wordiness,
I was just at the bank and they had CNN playing in the background.
All of this freakin’ talk about the shootings
the endless talk
the pontification
the analysis
the interviews with students………asking ridiculous questions like "How did you FEEL as when he was reloading his gun while you were laying on the floor?"I think they should just freakin’ get on with the other news of the world
every 30 minutes they should just fill the screen with these words:
Occasionally and without merit the world and the people who reside in it may present themselves as truly
fucked up.
and just get on with it.April 19, 2007 at 11:57 am #124081"Annastefka " wrote:Well I just found a cure for all of my wordiness,
