Holy hell! Conniptions abound as "two state solution" deemed unworkable!

Any serious person observing the Middle East has known for at least twenty years that the so-called two state solution is deader than dead.

But today this is news.

No serious person has imagined that the settlement project was going to end.

Ever.

And it hasn't.

And you can't blame the Israelis, because after all, this is God's will.

Don't know to what extent God thought things through, but eventually you're gonna be left with a few million pissed-off Palestinians who will, by default, become citizens of Israel.

Good luck with that!

IDF mulls code of ethics for Israeli troops

IDF boss Benny Gantz is issuing a "directive" in the hopes of avoiding a repeat of the recent incident wherein a few female conscripts posted their bare butts on Facebook.

Here's a couple more ideas for your code of ethics, Benny:


  • stop hassling innocent civilians at the checkpoints if they're just folks who need to go to work or to school
  • stop using live ammo on kids throwing stones at your patrols in the West Bank.

I know you don't want to be seen as weak, Benny, but showing a bit of goodwill is going to get you a lot further in the long run than playing the bully every minute.

Think about it.
