Humour from Holmes

March 25th, 2004 at 11:15 pm by David Farrar

Paul Holmes on Newstalk ZB was discussing the recent killing of the leader of the terrorist group Hamas by Israel. Commenting about how Israel authorised the killing despite knowing the inevitable response, he said “Well those Israelis have balls. They may not have foreskins but they definitely have balls”.

Unlike the cheeky darky comment, this was genuinely funny. And I can say that as someone with Jewish ancestry. But no I am not religious, so don’t even ask!

    No doubt someone will find it offensive, personally I thought that was extremely funny.

    Personally I find Paul Holmes, the man, more offensive than anything his brain could conjure. His inflated and grossly exaggerated sense of his own self importance means if there’s one contract that shouldn’t be renewed at TVNZ, it’s his….

    1) Please don’t shout by using capitals.

    2) You may be surprised to know that the Jewish Council has complained several times about Holmes and regard him as unfriendly to Israel.
