With a moderate as Iran’s new face, Netanyahu will struggle to draw up support for an attack – Diplomacy & Defense – Israel News | Haaretz Daily Newspaper

Dear Government of Israel,

You make the very likable Israeli people seem unpalatable with your dark shadow. You are like the ugly, unappealing, kid step-sibling of the United States. We give you money, we have your ungrateful, loud-mouthed, pushy, arrogant, selfish, and unreasonable backs but you need to sit the fuck down and shut the fuck up already. We don’t need your quaint, self-centered, and overly simplistic version of foreign policy advice.

Who was the one country on the planet who, after 9/11, sent a message of anything other than condolences and offers of help? What country wanted the US to focus on them instead of its own problems after 9/11? What country was a selfish, whining, little pig instead of human? That’s right, your fucking asses.

The entire fucking planet is sick of hearing you talk.  Sit down and do not speak until spoken to, assholes.

Sincerely,

Your fucking money ticket.

Tensions Escalate over Israel Raid on Gaza Aid Flotilla – TIME

True to form the Israeli government is lying about what started it. I wonder if they even know they are lying or if they have convinced themselves that this is appropriate behavior because after all, they are God’s special little spoiled brats.

More even-handed, mature, well thought-out, and clearly respectful of their neighbors foreign policy from the nursery school class that is the Israeli government. I’m not saying Israel shouldn’t exist. I’m pro-Israel. It’s just that lately I’m also pro-bitchslapping-Israel’s government.

If the Israeli government’s policy was to stay within its own borders a lot of problems would be solved. Of course that would entail them not acting like a bunch of entitled, self-centered, self-important, spoiled adolescents. Doesn’t seem too likely….

So… If the ruling parties in Pakistan find one or some of their citizens to be behaving in a sacrilegious manner will they kill the entire population and claim Allah is down with that?
