Celebrity sighting

A source close to Not Another Israel Blog spotted former Hezbollah prisoner Elhanan Tennenbaum today in Tel Aviv. He was crossing the street at Sderot Chen near Rabin Square, joined by his daughter and grandchild. The source says that Tennenbaum appeared older and more frail than he has appeared in TV footage.

I'm not so sick as to actually do this, nor am I suggesting that anyone does, but it would have been cruely amusing to sneak up behind Tennenbaum and just give a big scream to check how fried his nerves really are.

While I certainly condemn Tennenbaum for being motivated by financial gain, allegedly to be made in a drug deal, I think the guy has been punished enough. His life is pretty much over and the Israeli public will never forgive him.
