File under: Govt of Iran

#1 Over the years I came to the conclusion that the only way for Israel to survive is to start doing some of the things that we're, routinely, accused of.

#2 You have a point, but it needs to be clarified.

In its, what can best be described as a "guilt-ridden" attitude of government behavior, Israel does not follow "international norms."

And I do not mean "international norms" in any good sense. I mean that when faced with problems like an intransigent, hateful, violent and murderous minority, almost every other country in the world would respond in kind, either driving out the repulsive minority, or so heavily punishing it that it cannot continue its bad behavior.

But Israel will give just the current combatant Palestinians a gentle slap and ask them to behave. This is as annoying to the rest of the nations of the world as a parent who refuses to discipline their young child's tantrum in a restaurant.

"Now sweetie pie, it's not nice to throw food and tableware at people. Please settle down and stop screaming, and I'll give you some more nice food. Ow! Snookums, you stabbed me in the knee with your knife, at that hurt! I'm very disappointed in you. Waitress, would you give my little one a new knife? Where did you get another lighter? It's not nice to set people's clothing on fire, I wish you would stop doing that!"

And all the time, all of "snookums" little friends are banging on the picture window of the restaurant, egging "snookums" on.

#3 The worn out Islamist 'give a dog a bad name and then hang him' meme surfaces yet again.
