Behold, the awesome power of Zionists! A Turkish tool is blaming—who else?—Israel for the Wikileaks cables about his boss’ Islamism. The little Islamist is also saying that the entire reason for Wikileaks was to harm Turkey. Egocentric much?
Speaking of nutjobs: Muammar Gaddafi, he of the thousand-spellings-name, is proposing “Isratine” to the UN, and hilarity ensued. This is my favorite part of the story:
The proposal also managed to confuse African and Arab member states, which did not know whether to object, abstain, or just leave the venue.
Wait, what? You’re confusing the narrative! Make it stop!
What’s happening at the Oxford Union? First the Israeli position wins a debate, and now the audience is respectful of an Israeli speaker. And this is an awesome quote:
He also fielded a number of poignant questions on subjects such as West Bank settlements. Jerusalem was the capital of Israel when London was just swamplands, he remarked in answer to one student.
There is no story that the AP can’t spin anti-Israel: This one is on Hanukkah. What does the AP put out on the first night? A warning that menorahs can cause house fires. Eff you, AP, and all your anti-Israel writers and editors.
Pay attention, anti-Israel pundits: You’re all wrong. No, really. Wikileaks proved it. The Arab world hates and fears Iran. And there is no linkage between Iran and peace with Israel.
If the idea of “Israstine” ever got serious traction, it would then come up against objections that it should be “Palrael.”
“The proposal also managed to confuse African and Arab member states, which did not know whether to object, abstain, or just leave the venue.”
Bad coordination. Didn’t their Muslim paymasters get the word to them beforehand? Tsk, tsk, sloppy. You’d never find the Elders making so elementary a mistake.
“He also fielded a number of poignant questions on subjects such as West Bank settlements. Jerusalem was the capital of Israel when London was just swamplands, he remarked in answer to one student.”
Good memory. That’s like the line Disraeli used when another MP taunted him with his Jewish ancestry during a parliamentary debate. “My ancestors were priests in the Temple of Solomon while London was a collection of mud huts.”
