And, this is a deal that we could all get behind. Really.
It’s even deliciously ironic. The phrase, “Hoist with his own petard” comes to mind – a phrase that began with Shakespeare and essentially means ‘blown up by your own bomb’. (A Petard is a bomb used to breach gates, etc.)
Well, it seems that America might be soon be hoist by her own petard, because the UN may soon be asking the US to return land to Native Americans.
Maybe we should call it land for peace?

They should be, but they won’t, which is too bad.
You see, millions of Arabs owe their lives to Israel. And, I don’t mean the State of Israel – although many Arabs owe much to the Jewish State. No, I’m talking about a different Israel.
Israel Kligler.
I wrote about him on Friday, but over the weekend I realized that one specific group was directly impacted by his work – Palestinians.

So much of the world views the suicide bomber as someone who acts out of desperation – someone who feels the terrible weight of injustice and takes the route of Jihad because there are no other options.
It’s complete and utter crap.
The video that you are about to watch describes how the Taliban create young suicide bombers in Pakistan. But, this could have been a documentary describing Hamas, Islamic Jihad, or many of the other fanatic Islamist groups preying upon young Palestinians.
And yes, that is exactly what they do. They prey upon the young minds of Palestinian youth.

Of course, they’re people and should receive all of the consideration that people anywhere should receive. But, there’s nothing special about being P-A-L-E-S-T-I-N-I-A-N. And, that’s according to Fathi Hammad, Minister of the Interior and of National Security for Hamas, in the Gaza Strip.
Now, Fathi didn’t mean for us to take his statements in just quite that way. He was speaking in Arabic and was not expecting to be understood by a Western audience – especially, the Western audience that he’s been crying to about the ‘ancient’ Palestinian people with their ancient rights to Palestine (whatever THAT is).

Foolishness is alive and well everywhere, even in remote places like Ramallah, the ersatz capital of the Palestinian Authority. Talking about every stupid thing that happens in Ramallah would take too long and cause your eyes to bleed, but there are times when Palestinian foolishness reaches for greatness and becomes Palestinian Irony.
The latest bit irony comes from the denial of the right of an NGO to do a workshop in Ramallah. The NGO in question is called Zochrot, and it advocates the right of Palestinians to return to their towns and villages within Israel.
