Here is my third (and final) post in a series of unfair, sloppy, and intellectually lazy reviews of blogs that are finalists in the 2008 Weblog Awards.  And to top it off, I’m posting it after voting has already been open for six days and has on…

Don’t worry Rick, the UN is already addressed that problem.

“Meh. The bullshit benefits the Jew Haters and the Non Jew Haters alike. Israel uses the bullshit to get their massive handout from the US, and Arab countries use it to distract their people from their horrible oppressive governments. It will never end.”

I am sure if your house comes under rocket attack, you’d call it bullshit too. or react with a “meh.”

Your joke about Israel getting a massive handout was a nice touch. As though without this “handout”, a people who have given 159 Nobel prize winners, introduced the innovation of drip irrigation to the world ( remember they live in a fricking desert ?) and has a per capita GDP of about 31,767$.

What is a 5billion dollar “handout” to an economy that produces 161 billion$ GDP ? and without the oil supplies of course ?

Chuck, get your facts square before talking about “handouts”. I actually wish that this was completely stopped - of course this would nt change a damned thing in that wretched part of the world - but at the very least it would nt give people a convenient stick to beat Israel with.

Stopping the money wouldnt stop the hatred in the heart of the average Palestinian for Israel.

By saying he is willing to talk Obama wins both ways. The Arabs don’t go apeshit about the leader of the free world not caring about them while not putting any pressure on Israel to actually do anything other than what it is already doing. Give the man some credit people.
