  • Israelis make a ‘Gangnam Style’ version about the crisis with Iran (VIDEO)

    Introducing “Bomba Style,” the Israeli version of the much-covered Korean mega hit “Gangnam Style” by Psy.

  • A guide to the top 5773 Rosh Hashanah YouTube videos!

    Every year our Facebook friends, Twitter followers and fellow emailers send us Rosh Hashanah videos.
    They are usually parodies of popular songs — and amateurish (or sometimes too professional). Sometimes they’re funny, sometimes they’re endearing, but most times they kind of get old after the, umm, 100th share. So we decided to ease on the pre-holiday headache and put this year’s top Rosh Hashanah videos on one ultimate page for you to share. We just want your newsfeed to be clean and tidy — it’s a new year, you know.

Cohen also did that in the best place possible – walking from NBC Studios in Rockefeller Center to… More ▸

  • Israeli backpack campaign features bomb squad pranking (VIDEO)

    This Israeli online campaign for the New York backpack brand “Yak Pak” is pretty creative yet  controversial, since it touches a raw Israeli nerve – terrorism. The video, which went viral earlier this month, features a bunch of teenagers who place cans of graffiti paint in a backpack and then leave it unattended at a bus station…. More ▸

  • ‘Call Me Maybe,’ the IDF version (VIDEO)

    Because why not, right? Everyone else has done a version of Carly Rae Jepsen’s “Call Me Maybe.” So here is the IDF version – of Golani soldiers. Besides, it beats Mark Zuckerberg’s sister Randi’s fundraising version “Fund Me Maybe.” My favorite part is the homage to “Macarena” and the end, where they stop dancing and start… More ▸
