File under: Hamas

#1 Perhaps someone should ask these elite morons how one negotiate with someone who's sole and only objective is your total destruction?

#2 Let the Egyptians work for the billions in US aid they receive every year... place Gaza under Egyptian administration.

They can negotiate with Hamas.

#3 Eleven prominent authors and intellectuals...This sort of comment belies the title "intellectuals". I would be willing to bet that none of these "intellectuals" have degrees in engineering or the hard sciences. This is nothing more than the usual cry for attention by aging academics who have this nagging suspicion that they are totally irrelevant.

#4 These intellectuals should feel free to walk into Gaza and conduct the negotiations themselves. I would call the end result a twofer.

#5 Intellectual means someone who never really does anything except to sit in an ivy covered tower all day.

#6 Hey -- I grew up in an ivy-covered ivory tower. And very pleasant it was, too, although admittedly it left me totally unfitted for the real world. ;-)

#7 But TW, I'm sure the gardens of Cambridge miss you dreadfully young lady.

#8 I'm afraid it was the somewhat newer gardens of the State University of New York at Buffalo, Besoeker dear. Not quite as pretty, but a lot less PC nonsense from the gardeners. ;-)

#9 Academic means never having to say your sorry...
