WASHINGTON — The United States called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to prove his commitment to a Palestinian state, warning that prolonged conflict only strengthened extremists.
Amid US tensions with Netanyahu, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton urged "bold leadership" from all sides to resolve one of the world's most intractable disputes and also pressed Arab states to show they wanted to make peace.Whereupon they broke out the karaoke machine (merely one of Obama's many foreign policy innovations) and Hillary began warbling new words to an old Fab Four number that Bill used to sing to her back in their courting days:
Speaking at a dinner attended by the ambassadors of Israel and several Arab states, Clinton was forthright in her demands of Netanyahu, urging Israel to "refrain from unilateral statements and actions" that could undermine peace.
"Prime Minister Netanyahu has embraced the vision of the two-state solution," Clinton said.
"But easing up on access and movement in the West Bank, in response to credible Palestinian security performance, is not sufficient to prove to the Palestinians that this embrace is sincere," she said.
"We encourage Israel to continue building momentum toward a comprehensive peace by demonstrating respect for the legitimate aspirations of the Palestinians, stopping settlement activity and addressing the humanitarian needs in Gaza."...
Close your eyes and they'll kill you.
Here's a poison pill you
Should know that it won't hurt a bit.
And then while Muslims crow
Ev'ry last Jew'll know
That we're going to treat you like sh*t.
We'll pretend that it's "fairness,"
That we've no awareness
About plans to make you submit.
And then while Muslims crow
Ev'ry last Jew'll know
That we're going to treat you like sh*t.
All our loving,
We will send to 'Rabs.
All our loving,
It ain't up for grabs.
