#1 "The world is looking to the United States for leadership in this region, and the world is simply not getting it,"
This is just code for "the US is not pressuring Israel to make concessions". But who's pressuring the Paleos? No one, which is why there's no progress on a solution.

The road map is dead. Israel has killed it

GOOD!

That's a mercy killing if I ever saw one.

#3 Yeah a great big wall and a bunch of missile craters will tend to do that. But Israeli casualties are significantly down, so maybe they should just hire a new cartographer.

#5 The Israelis should just shrug and say "But look at how wonderful the UN roadmap for Sudan is working out!"

#6 A UN human rights expert? Probably the Soudanese or Lybian expert.

#10 According to Tuvia Israeli, Dugard had advanced "a rejectionist myth that only one side has responsibilities and only one has rights." This is the situation in a nutshell. Dugard and his ilk never veer from parroting the line that only Israel has responsibilities and only Palestinians have rights. Boring bunch of PC f***ers. I could write their script for them for any hypothetical twist and turn in this conflict well in advance. That's how little they have to contribute to any dialogue, leave alone any solution to the conflict. And the man's a law professor? Give me a break.

Well well, not only is the UN worthless, but its employees are proving to be stupid too!
