It’s A Difference Of Opinion

The Hague hearings continue to dominate the news.
PA: ‘Wall’ prevents two-state solution.

Israel: Blowing up little babies prevents two-state solution.

(The first article also has the priceless line “Crawford [said] it is precisely with respect to political matters that a legal opinion is needed.” International law is such a joke).

Tommy Lapid is still pissed that Israel didn’t send a rep to the Hague, depriving him of his much-deserved time in the limelight. His argument is that when the Court rules against Israel, no one will remember that Israel boycotted. That seems reasonable. But it also seems reasonable that, had Israel gone, the Court would have ruled against Israel anyway, and no one would have remembered that Israel didn’t boycott. Memo to Tommy: you’re a footnote in Israeli electoral politics – shut up and do as you’re told. Also: other international actors who forgot their place in the grand scheme of things and are now regretting it.

As of last count, somewhere between 10%-15% of JPost readers must be clinically insane. And that’s not even a story about cell phones – that’s here.

And of course, today’s humor link. It’s the sub-headline that really sells the story.
