NObama: Looks like the Palestinians aren’t going to take Obama’s suggestion and get back to the negotiating table anytime soon. I like how they no longer insist that all settlement activity be frozen first—they don’t dare add a precondition for talks after Obama said they had to stop putting preconditions on the talks. Now they’re saying that there are “fundamental disagreements” about the agenda of the talks. Brilliant. The onus is now on them, not on Netanyahu, to start negotiations. (That’ll last about a week, then the world will blame Israel once again.)
No room at the inn for Mad Mahmoud: Awesome. Another New York hotel canceled the banquet after finding out it was for the proud Holocaust denier. Unfortunately, he still spoke to a mostly full house at the UN.
UNRWA: We want money. That’s what we want. UNRWA is begging for more money to keep the victim class of the Palestinians going into the next generation, because hey, 61 years isn’t nearly long enough to keep paying “refugees.” Why, the UN has also been paying the millions of descendants of Jewish refugees from Arab lands, too. Oh, wait. No they’re not.
AP still doesn’t get the significance of the last name: Leonard Cohen performed in Israel, and I have to laugh at the AP headline and angle of the story: “Leonard Cohen performs in Israel, defies boycott.” Really. Just look at the last name one more time, AP. Or listen to Hallelujah again.
Well, I feel safer now: The One has chaired the UN Security Council, and got it to pass a resolution calling for an end to nuclear weapons. The next agenda calls for kittens, butterflies, and unicorns for everyone. Winged unicorns for seven-year-old girls. What Obama did not do, however, was get a resolution calling for sanctions on Iran, which is trying to build a nuclear bomb. So once again, it’s all for show.
Unfortunately, female ACORN clients will not be eligible to receive unicorns (vehameivin yavin).
