Hi all,
I saw the following article in Yediot Aharanot this morning.
It was just too good to pass by, so I scanned it and am linking to it here
(article is in Hebrew).

What happens when Israeli government officials send preparatory questions to
the Dutch Foreign Minister, that they have translated from Hebrew to English
using Internet translation? They end up insulting his mother and create a
diplomatic incident between Israel and Holland.
