"We have no choice but to support him [Abbas]. But before we give him the moon, we should insist upon reasonable benchmarks of both moderation and good governance -- exactly what we failed to do in the Oslo process," wrote columnist Charles Krauthammer in the Washington Post.

Insisting upong resonable benchmarks for those barbarians rarely if ever translates into us forcing them to abide by those conditions -- U.S. taxpayer dollars just keep flowing into their Swiss bank accounts and increasing weapons caches.

That article sure does use the dreaded “N-word” a whole lot...”neo-conservative.” Code word for “da Jooooooz”?

What’s wrong with putting strings on the aid we give the Palis anyway? You want our money? Prove you’re worth it. Quit being a bunch of suicide-bombing Jew-killing head-hackers and move forward into the tenth century.
