Stripe me, it's Chanucah

LAST week, we featured a "Chanucah deer" with a magnificent pair of Magen David-shaped antlers.

Now it looks like there were more Jewish animals keen to celebrate the Festival of Light.

For we found this Chanucah zebra deep in the African bush - complete with stripes that form a clearly visible menorah.

Now that really is animal magic.


Posh needled by Becks' tattoo

WOULD you believe it? Footballer - and global superstar - David Beckham has gone and got himself another Hebrew tattoo.

Becks, whose mother's father was Jewish, has had the Ivrit words "My son, do not forget my teaching but keep my commands in your heart" tattooed on to his upper left arm.

His other Hebrew marking, also on his left arm, reads: "I am my beloved and my beloved is mine".

But wife Victoria is believed to be none-too-impressed with her hubby's latest tattoo.

Sounds like she's got the needle.


An MP's puzzling protest

WHILE the whole world - with the exception, thank goodness, of the United States, seems to be turning on Israel, an Iranian Jewish MP Ciamak Morsathegh, is seen at an anti-Israel protest in Tehran on Sunday.

Bit hard to understand, wouldn't you say?
