That's the funny thing. Yishai, of wholly Tunisian extraction, is in no possible sense other than religion "whiter" than a Muslim or Christian Palestinian (except the black ones, I guess). Maybe he gets a kick out of thinking he's "white," but good luck to him selling it down at the country club. I mean, take a look: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Eli_Yishai_2009.jpg ... Which is not to say that his "whiteness" is any more cockamamie than the rest of ours, I suppose. -- "Hige sceal þe heardra, heorte þe cenre, mod sceal þe mare, þe ure mægen lytlað."
