Bibis headache

For lack of anything else to do apparently Joe Biden the Vice president of the United States has come and gone from Israel. He made a very emotional speech in Tel-aviv about how much he personally and the United states are committed to the security of Israel. It was a good speech. But that’s all. Nothing fundamental has really changed because of the speech, there have been many more before and will be many after. The fact that an announcement concerning a new building contract was revealed just as the vice president showed up is really trivial in the big picture of things. It has made Bibis life a bit more complicated for the while but the real issues stay the same. That is no real foreseeable agreement can be expected for the next 50 years or so. It is even highly doubtful after that.
Hillary apparently called Bibi to yell at him. Her memory is short. When her husband was president of the United States Yassar Arafat turned down an offer from then prime minister Ehud Barack for virtually the entire West Bank. A rather incredible concession that Barack may have used to test if the other side could agree to anything. They of course did not. The incredible effort by then President Clinton to reach some type of deal was wasted. The fault by almost everyone’s estimation was that of Arafat.
Hilary is barking up the wrong tree.

What do you want from a bitch.
