Liar liar pants on fire: Hillary Clinton says the U.S. will “help shoulder” Israel’s burdens. Really? So how’s that stopping Iran from getting a nuclear bomb coming along? That bad? Shyeah. Here’s the thing, Madame Secretary: Bibi Netanyahu is wise to the world’s lies to Jews. Theodor Hertzl said it: “Do not rely on the help of foreigners, nor on benefactors. And do not expect stones to become soft because benefactors give humiliating donations. A nation that wants to stand upright must rely on itself alone.” Amen v’amen.
Somehow, I doubt this will make him more friendly to Israel: Tony Blair is stranded in Jerusalem due to the shutdown of flights all across Europe by volcanic ash. There’s no truth to the rumor that British newspapers are reporting that he is stranded in some unnamed occupied territory. That’s because I just made it up.
The Iran Manhattan Project is booming along: Perhaps “booming” might not be the right word for it, but, well, hey. When you’re approving three new enrichment sites, developing ICBMs, managing to head off any and all sanctions in your drive to getting a nuclear bomb, well, the only word that easily describes that is “booming.”
