What an idiot:

An Israeli who unintentionally spent several hours in Iran during an unscheduled layover on Friday night ended up leaving on a positive note, saying that Iran seemed like a “great country.”… on [the] way from Turkey to Mumbai, India [the plane] landed in the Iranian capital due to an electric fault… At the terminal, the Iranian security guards… told him: “We know you’re Israeli, but you don’t have to worry,” Israel Radio reported… Iranian authorities were not aware an Israeli citizen was one of the passengers on the grounded flight. However, Medbedev decided to reveal his nationality to the flight’s captain and crew. Turkish Airlines sent a replacement airplane to Teheran, and the 125 passengers eventually took off for Mumbai, with Medbedev safely on board the plane. He was met in Mumbai by representatives of the Israeli consulate.

There’s video here that gives a little more background, including what to do if you’re an Israeli that gets stuck in an enemy country. Hint: unlike this guy, don’t publicly announce that you’re an Israeli stuck in an enemy country. Because that, you see, is stupid.

PS – anti-Jihadist media watchdogs, we’re at the point of begging: make your damn videos embeddable. Listen. Average click-thru for text links is way, way below 10 percent. That means that you’re sacrificing having people see your logo embedded in a blog, in exchange for the tiny chance that someone will click through and see your logo embedded… in a YouTube page which is not your organization’s page anyway. Come on.
