Are you as sick of that mainstream locution — lands earmarked for the future Palestinian state– as I am? Beautiful work at the Onion, today. Excerpt:
As part of their continuing efforts to bring peace to the conflict-stricken region, Israeli government officials announced today the construction of a new settlement on Palestinian lands where future peace talks can be held. …
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu [said] “In fact, we should build more settlements so there can be even more places to negotiate.” Netanyahu noted that any individuals currently living on the future site of Israeli-Palestinian peace talks have exactly 36 hours to leave before they are forcibly removed.
