"I’ve never thought that bi-nationalism would work, and now that I’ve seen what’s left of the Arab West Bank, think that talk of a two state solution is just a cruel joke."

Chris can see this, but U.S. politicians can't? Well, some of them really are that dumb. Others don't visit the West Bank, or just slip into Ramallah for half a day.

But the Dennis Rosses and Tony Blairs and Condoloser Rices know perfectly well that it's a cruel joke, as they stall another decade for Israel.

"The bookstore at Yad Vashem stocks Abe Foxman's critique of Mearsheimer and Walt's "The Israel Lobby", but not "The Israel Lobby" itself."

Speaking of irascible Uncle Abe, he's ritually flogging the Swiss again for their wickedness. You'd think that after extorting billions from the Swiss banks, he'd be satisfied. But no, the taste of blood in the water only got him going.

The ADL posted its broadsides against the Swiss here (as well as publishing them in the WSJ and the Slimes):

However, I took the liberty of subversively rewriting the Slimes ad. Sword of Gidget will hit the ceiling over this:

GUESS WHO IS THE WORLD'S NEW FINANCER OF TERRORISM?
THE UNITED STATES.

The U.S. just announced a ten-year, $30 billion military aid commitment to Israel — the world's leading sponsor of state terror.

The likely result? The IDF and IAF may get tens of thousands of additional missiles. The Israeli regime will be able to accelerate and expand its nuclear program. Terrorist cells in Europe, the Middle East and around the globe will have access to new grudges and causes celebrés.

Every U.S. citizen should be alarmed that their government is funding an Israeli regime that viciously abuses the human rights of millions in its own occupied territories, including women, the elderly and children.

Just last year, U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice declared that "there is an obligation in the Roadmap to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorism, not just coexist with it." But Madam Secretary,

WHEN YOU FINANCE A TERRORIST STATE,
YOU FINANCE STATE TERROR.

Abe Foxman's gonna scream that I just violated his copyright. Fair-use parody, Abe! But it's tough to write good parody of crappy material. The ADL needs to hire a new comedy writer, pal.

Hmmmm? I caught this on democracy now. But Richard seems to have been on that earlier.

We've never had an adequate response to this from folks like Sword of Gidget and Richard Witty.
