17. I certainly can't argue with that

But I do think that yoohoo's too clever by half support for Hamas was particular dumb and it hasn't gone without criticism in Israel. The Israeli's are much better than we are at holding their leaders accountable for their fuck ups. If Americans were like Israelis Bush probably would have been impeached after 9/11 instead of rallied behind. I don't expect Bibi to be in office a year from now.

And one of the other acts of shortsighted stupidity was Arafat's rejection of the deal Clinton put together. Please don't accuse me of drawing a moral equivelance between Israel and Hamas. I think the Israelis have no choice at this point to reoccupy the Gaza strip until Hamas' command is terminated with extreme prejudice (to steal a line from Apocalypse Now) But Hamas' barbarism or Israel's righteous response are not reasons to ignore Bibi's deadly stupidity. He isn't above criticism, as any Israeli will tell you.
