Despicable: There is no other word that more aptly describes the petition by 110 Jordanian politicians to free the man who murdered seven Israeli schoolgirls during a field trip near the Jordanian border. The victims were ages 12 to 15. King Hussein went to Israel and apologized himself for the murders, even as his countrymen were calling the killer a hero. They’ve been trying to free him for years. Calling the murderer of children a hero? Despicable.
But I thought al Qaeda was dead: Ignore the reports of al Qaeda triumphant in Syria. And the ones of their planning to blow up the U.S. Embassy and a synagogue in Turkey. Obama killed Osama, and so, al Qaeda is done. Right? Right.
Sure they want peace: Hamas keeps trying to kidnap more Israel soldiers. Oh, Hamas is also building up its presence in the West Bank.
The senior officials told Yedioth Ahronoth that the prisoner exchange deal which secured the release of Gilad Shalit encouraged Hamas to attempt additional kidnappings.
You don’t say.
And remember, Jimmy Carter told us that Hamas wants peace, so it must be true. Also, ignore the gender segregation in schools, the fashion police, and the haircutting that Hamas is doing. They’re good guys. Really.
Look, it’s Palestinian resignation theater! Fayad threatens to resign, and somehow, the meeting where Abbas is supposed to accept his resignation is indefinitely postponed. Go figure.
