Link Dump
Sorry. I may put up a couple longer posts later today, depending on how amenable Msrs. Lacan and Burke prove to be during paper writing. But for now...
We're still talking about the Road Map. Dunno why, but here're your links:
The peace process is dead
Long live the peace process.
Oh, and a note to Likud backbenchers - you're better seen and not heard. Go back to rigging elections, or organizing car theft rings or something - the adults are working here.
The Hague is obviously on everyone's mind today. Bibi says it pretty well - Palestinian terrorism should be on trial, but Imshin potentially says it better. Oh, and before I forget, here's a reminder to all those that insist that Israel doesn't have to worry about the politicization of international law because the US can check all binding resolutions with its veto (you know who you are, all you ICC people):
Al-Kidwa also signaled the view that a ruling against the fence could pave the way for international sanctions against Israel.
I'm glad the Left moved past the "Berlin Wall" analogy - it was taking too much time to explain the difference between keeping civilians in and keeping terrorists out. I'm not so sure that the South Africa comparisons are any more coherent, but at least they can answered with "we offered them a state like 20 times and they didn't take it," which takes somewhat less time than before. I just wish someone would explain to me why a wall designed to separate Palestinians and Israelis makes it harder for the Palestinians to get a state.
On a more domestic note, maybe this guy shouldn't have been driving after sundown on Monday and he wouldn't have gotten rocks thrown at his car (actually that's insensitive - He was the victim of what was probably a very clumsy act of terrorism, which is of course inexcusable. On the other hand, he seems to have gotten out of it completely unscathed, and anything that happens to a Shas MK short of bodily injury is fair game. It's a rule - you can look it up).
Abraham Foxman needs to spend less time jetting to the Vatican and more time trying to figure out why he's such a gigantic tool. Same goes for Dan Gillerman.
And finally, the humorous link of the day.
