On the campaign trail he’s known as “Joe the Plumber.” When he heads to the Gaza Strip, he’ll be Joe Wurzelbacher, “War Correspondent.”
“If given the opportunity to do some good however minute it may be, or could be something really good, you gotta take that chance. You have to do it,” Joe Wurzelbacher.
Wurzelbacher will travel to Israel to report for the conservative website, pjtv.com. He intends to get the, often lost, Israeli reason for the offensive against Hamas.
“It’s tragic, I mean it really is. I don’t say that in any little way. It’s very tragic, but at the same time what are the Israeli people suppose to do, Wurzelbacher.
The 10-day journey hopes to answer that question, by talking with Israeli citizens without a politically correct filter.
“I get to go over there and let there “Average Joes” share their story, what they think, how they feel, especially with world opinion, maybe get a real story out there,” Wurzelbacher.
Thousands have died in the fighting. Joe knows the danger is very real, but believes his civic duty is once again calling him to do something bigger than himself.
“Being a Christian I’m pretty well protected by God I believe. That’s not saying he’s going to stop a mortar for me, but you gotta take the chance,” Wurzelbacher.
Say it ain’t so Joe!
why cant Isrrael find a normal spokespoerson. I saw someone named Aaron Cohen on CNN the other night – a former Israeli security official
Courageous move on his part, and he deserves tons of credit for it.
Unfortunately though, it won’t make a dent in world opinion.
The world knows the same truth that I and you know. They DELIBERATELY DISTORT IT THOUGH!!!
They are HATEFUL BIGOTS, and NOTHING will gain their sympathy for us Jews.
Hashem should help that they should all have a “misa misunah” very quickly, and we should be zocheh to the “geula shliema” very soon since the “matzav” is, simply put, extremely dangerous for jews all over the world.
Besuros Tovos
I think that’s cool! Go Joe!
To use Joe’s words when asked about Israeli politics on Fox News during the election, “I know just enough to be dangerous”. Maybe he should just stay home.
This sounds like a joke.
I guess with the housing slowdown, the plumber is looking for another job. He was lucky to find a cool one.
great – another yukel the IDF needs to protect
I guess he’s leaving the country before Obama can carry out his promise to lower his taxes
I guess he needs to leave the country before Obama can lower his taxes.
Mark Regev is a great spokesman. He doesn’t stutter, speaks sense and know how to answer the biased media channels.
“Thousands have died in the fighting”
where did you get this numbers from?
The GREAT thing about Mark Regev is that he is not a bureaucrat, rather a finely tuned and dedicated PR professional.
Dedicated to the state of Israel and dedicated to enhancing Israel’s image abroad. Regev is honest and can easily take down anyone who tries to spin him or the State of Israel.He knows the art of public relations, public affairs, crisis communications and can spit out effective and potent soundbytes without sleep.
He has never shown an arrogant face as opposed to many others in government. He has always been open to learning new issues, understanding their details and placing a priority on media training knowing that one can always improve themselves.
Mark is an articulate and demanding person. On himself and on those who surround him. He aims for perfection in his media work for Israel and often attains it. He can smile and yet bite hard in a second’s notice.
Mark Regev is the right person at the right time for Israel’s tarnishing image on the international stage.
Let’s wish him much luck and pass the coffee.
Israel today has a powerful and potent public relations team. A professional team unmatched since Abba Eban represented the State.
Lastly, Mark Regev may be able to do what no other public relations or Israel Pr person has done before him.Knowing the people, the diplomats and how the Israel Foreign Ministry works, to become an effective bridge between the Foreign Ministry and the Prime Ministers Office. Mark’s unique and professional background can translate his new position into one which unifies both governmental offices delivering one rather than several different messages during times of crisis
COME ON MARK!
