Israel's decision to promote tourism through pictures of bikini-clad army women has met with heated protests.  The controversy, of course, called far more attention to the campaign than if opponents had stayed silent, but then again, without it we might not have had such headlines as "Babes in Oy Land" and "Piece in the Middle East." 

Unfortunately I have little to add, since I never did receive that invite to tonight's party hosted by Maxim and the Israeli Consulate (!).  Instead I was left sitting here . . .

waiting for Gadot.
