"Now it's time to do something drastic and Israel better do it before the USA presidential election in November."

President Clinton - not pro-Israel enough?  Don't make me laugh.

President McCain  -- insufficiently pro-Israel?  Be real, he's Bush lite.  Slightly less filling, and tastes just as crappy.

So, it must be the case that a spectre is haunting AIPAC and the Likud -- the possibility, less remote with each passing day, of President Barack Hussein Obama!


Just roll that name around your tongue a few times, my unreconstructed Jabotinskyites.  Oh, wait, you already have.  That's what's prompting the slow approach to panic.

An Islamic name.  And a black man.  Talk about the black anti-semitism trope!  Here it is -- live and in color [get the bad pun?] Begin and Sharon and Shamir's and Kahane's worst nightmare.  OK, not THE worst, but probably a top 10 choice.

Whatever end the Israelis have in mind for the Pallys, i suggest that they [1] do it without the US, [2] do it soon, and [3] do it without the US.
