The news, with snark

Gee, that’ll hurt the Israeli/Afghan trade: Afghans are protesting Israel’s attack on Hamas. Who the hell cares what Afghanis think? The country that gave us the Taliban and 9/11 is protesting the deaths of terrorists? My heart bleeds.

Stil the Human Wrongs Committee: The supposedly unbiased and revamped UN Human Rights Council held a moment of silence for the deaths of the “martyrs in Gaza” by the “Zionist regime” in response to a request from Iran, yes, Iran, which sits on the Council. The fact that God did not strike dead the council members immediately is proof that God is the most patient Being in existence. The fact that the Council made no mention whatsoever of dead Israelis surprised absolutely no one.

Abbas shills the Hamas line: Mahmoud Abbas now says he’ll only hold peace talks with Israel if they reach a cease-fire with Hamas. Good. Now there’s no reason to talk with the asshat. Keep it up, Mahmoud. The masks are coming off, and Fatah is being revealed for the killers that they always were. Exit snark: Watch Condi try to force Israel to make a deal with Hamas so they can talk with Fatah. Because it would continue the “peace” process.

Well, that was quick: Condi got Abbas to change his mind. I’m betting money changed hands.

Yeah, pull the other leg: Israeli security ministers are telling the IDF to draw up plans to completely stop rocket fire from Gaza. Why bother? Ehud Olmert won’t let the IDF do what needs to be done to stop the rockets. He hasn’t yet. There’s a possibility the rockets in Ashkelon have changed his mind. But I’m not counting on it.

Oh, that’ll help: Jimmy Carter and Kofi Annan are planning to come to Israel to help arrange a Gaza cease-fire. Hey, Olmert, hide the silver and valuables. And whatever you do, never, ever, ever stand with your back to them. Not unless you’re wearing body armor. And here’s the howler of the story:

According to the report, Israel is opposed to the initiative, but officials said that Jerusalem would be well advised to try and channel the visit into a positive track so as not to damage the country’s image in the media.

Wow. To think, the JPost actually put that in black and white. Someone wrote that with a straight face. Double wow.

Gee, maybe Carter can hand out copies of his book to Hamas and they’ll read it, smack their foreheads and go, “Oh! NOW I get it. Sure, we’ll work things out.”

Hey, it could happen. In Bizarro World.

    Does Shin Bet have any captured CrudeHomemades that could accidentally land on Carter and Annan?

    In accusing Israel of practicing apartheid, Carter has called the Israeli Government racist. Why Olmert, or anyone else in his administration should meet with these characters, or give weight to anything they have to say is beyond me.

  3. Hugh says:

    It boggles the mind that either of these two mamzers should be allowed to set foot on sovereign Israeli soil. Let them travel from Cairo to Gaza, and return the same way. If they also want to visit Abu Mamzer, let them do so via Saudi and Jordan.

  4. Gary Rosen says:

    Carter needs to bring someone with a little more credibility among Jews than himself, like Louis Farrakhan or David Duke.
