But they know they need to first sweet-talk the world into giving them less controversial plots of land, like Israel, so they don’t talk about world-domination, except in Arabic. So they start by griping over Gaza. Then (in their playbook), after they’ve won there, it is Jerusalem, then all of Israel, then all of North Africa, then Spain, etc. And by the time the world decides they have to act it will be too late.

At least that’s the plan. Fortunately, these radical groups are also devoted to killing each other, so it’s taking a lot longer than planned.

I respectfully disagree that Hillary is, or was, a fair-weather friend of Israel. If the Clintons have shown anything during the time that they’ve inflicted themsleves on the American people, it’s that they have no regard for anything that stands in their path to power. Their only principle is their own aggrandizement.

But yes, Obazma insists on rigid Israeli adherence to strict and quantifiable guidelines while the Palestinians are merely urged to do something that they can claim they have done without fear that anyone will check up on them. Does anyone out there actually think that at some point any US representative will point out that the school books and children’s tv shows still spew hatred for Israel and Jews and so the Palestinians will be rebuked, much less pressured into actually doing anything?

Incidentally, I wonder why all the emphasis on the settlements in the disputed territories. The Arabs make it clear they don’t see a difference between Etzion and Tel Aviv; they’re both illegitimate Jewish settlements.
