About 2 months ago a call went out saying that Latma TV will cease if they cannot raise funds. Unlike other so-called satire shows in Israel Latma was not financed by a network.
Sadly the funds did not materialize. This is the last episode of The Tribal Update.
Best of the Tribal Update, part 2, with closing song
There has been news that Latma TV will quit product at the end of the summer. That funds have dried up and the left has won since nobody will write or speak angrily about them. I do not know if it is true, but guess that it is. For Latma has put out its Best of shows.
It is impossible to get President Barack Hussein Obama to say the words "Islamic Terrorism". And that stupidity has trickled down to every branch of the US government. The Military, Justice Department, FBI, etc... But Latma TV has figured it out! The Boston Marathon bombing -- The FBI investigates
Latma brings you a word from proud Israeli soldiers and wishes a Happy and Kosher Passover to our wonderful soldiers, and to the entire Jewish people and our friends in Israel and throughout the world.
Flock Builder wisely explains why we mustn't fall into a trap,a job candidate with unique tastes in music, Story Time about a zero that felt very important (Tell me who they are talking about with this: Zero is zero, Justa flatulent circle filled with hot air.).
An economic (not at all political) calculation of how much the attack
will cost, a survey of Israel's Olympic achievements, those annoying
people who are always right and story time about a president with honor
galore
Back again from vacation, Latma (The Tribe) is back with humor and satire.
The Tribal Update this week describes how the ugly Israeli harms
Israel's reputation in London, it examines the growing rift among the
leaders of the social justice protests, and BSN Network's Niki Simon
reports on a new Palestinian heritage site.
While on holiday and not producing a regular show, there are skits and songs being produced. This is one:
In this sketch, Googleheimer, played by Noam Yacobson – who plays virtually all of Latma's fictional characters – gives a revealing monologue that sums up Googleheimer's world view.
While leftist satires like Channel 2's Eretz Nehederet routinely demonize nationalists on prime time television and even on El Al planes, the left does not seem as good at taking satire as it is at dishing it out, even if it is only a YouTube satire with a relatively limited audience.
Oppenheimer took exception to a previous Latma skit and accused the nationalist camp of "systematically and cunningly… attempting to portray whoever does not think like they do as anti-Israeli, as a traitor, as an enemy within."
"I find myself battling dark forces that try to put things in my mouth that I never said," he complained.
Latma editor-in-chief Caroline Glick said in response: "Oppenheimer is a hypocrite. We are a satirical program with a satirical message and he is a serious person. This is a person who calls an entire sector in Israel 'a cancer in the heart of the nation,' not in a skit, but in a serious article he published. So there is no need to get worked up over what he said."
The Latma team has received awards and had been in advanced negotiations with Israel's goverment-sponsored Channel One television for a permanent slot on TV, but the negotiations failed.
In an adaptation of Ben E. King's immortal "Stand By Me," US
intelligence operatives and allied services sing a ballad to President
Barack Obama, Leaker-in-Chief - full Tribal Update version.
The Tribe will be on vacation for the next 2 weeks, although they do intend to release a couple of skits, songs, etc... When they return it will be with Episode # 150 or #155 (After all who really is keeping track of these things?).
Latma's Tribal Update brings you Shaul Mofaz's stand-up routine, Oxford

And a closing of Barack Hussein Obama's favorite food and you have a rip roaring weekly update.
Yes you heard it first! Mossad Headquarters in Cairo is at the Cairo Zoo.
Now Sammy the Shark (pictured above) has company. There is George the Giraffe and the boss Hymie the Hippo. The flies are fitted with cameras and I do believe the Egyptians are slowly going insane.
On other animal fronts:
Rabbits trained by Iran attacked Ben-Gurion Airport. According to Security Personal they were delicious.
Here is this weeks Latma TV for you to enjoy:
Egyptian Minister of Conspiracy Theories celebrates Israel with felafel and the police's new crime
If you know the story of Purim (You can read it here.) this will hit your funny bone with a sledgehammer. The Tribe, Latma TV brings to the world the Story of Esther but with a very leftist view. (And we all know the media in Israel leans far left.)
With Obama the Peace Maker, Shimon of Peres, Ahmadinejad, Mordechai and "The Settlers" the whole gang of good guys and bad guys are here.
