Neve Manyak
Jeffrey Goldberg posts about Rahm Emanuel accepting the post of White House Chief of Staff. He specifically addresses the question of Emanuel’s relationship with Israel, and the serious nature of his post is highlighted by this very funny line, which those who know Israeli slang, and who probably also hold certain political views, can laugh at.
Peace-processors take heart: Rahm, precisely because he’s a lover of Israel, will not have much patience with Israeli excuse-making, so when the next Prime Minister tells President Obama that as much as he’d love to, he can’t dismantle the Neve Manyak settlement outpost…

really is it necessary to reproduce stupid israeli jokes? there is a serious point here that an absolute zionist is chief of staff!

I did mention “the serious nature of his post,” but I found his use of manyak funny.
