Germans to Israel: Shut up if you want Gilad Shalit to come home. To be fair, he wants all parties involved to shut up, but really—this is what the mediator thinks is a necessary ingredient to getting Hamas to release their hostage for hundreds of convicted terrorists? A press blackout? Yeah, that’s what’s important.
Abbas to Obama: Stick it in your very big ears. Wow, look at what all those preconditions Obama demanded did for the peace process. It worked! The Palestinians now think they don’t have to do anything and Israel will be handed to them by the U.S. Great job, Obama! (Is it racist to say that he has big ears?)
If it’s Quds Day, this must be Holocaust Denial: And not just Holocaust denial from Ahmadinejad—his thugs attacked ex-president Khatami. Hey, if they kill Khatami, will Iranians rise up and not stop this time? Here’s what they chanted:
“Death to the dictators,” and “Not Gaza, Not Lebanon, We are ready to die for Iran,” chanted protesters.
The normal chant, if you have forgotten, is “Death to Israel” or “Death to America.”
If this is a holiday, it must be high terror alert in Israel: But gee, Obama told me that the Palestinians want peace. So did the Saudis. So do the Egyptians. Huh. Go figure. And 75,000 Muslims attended Ramadan prayers, unmolested, in Jerusalem—in their mosque deliberately built on the Temple grounds—that was not destroyed when Israel took control of Jerusalem. Exactly which of us is the Religion of Peace, do you think?
The Iranians waited a year too long to do this.
Obama will urge both sides to exercise restraint.
Anyone want to bet that if and when the Palestinians release Shalit (or his remains) in return for the release of hundreds of convicted terrorists, no one will condemn the Palis for being disproportionate?
So Abbas refuses to negotiate because Obama made “settlement freeze” a precondition for talks. What horrendous stupidity on Obamas part. But the truth is that if the Palestinian leadership wanted a state they could have had one long before now. Instead they refuse every single opportunity that they’ve had for autonomy and self-determination. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
I won’t listen to the “debate” till Dear Leader gives the Pali’s the ONLY “condition” I want to hear right now, a total recognition of Israel as a state, and that it has a right to exist.
Until Hamas and the other terrorist organizations recognize that Israel is a state, and that Jews have a right to breath then what the HELL are any of the other “conditions” going to amount to?
