We Will Make You Buy the Bullet

Thug states have nasty habits. If they have to kill one of your relatives for political reasons they will come to your home after the deed is done and hand you a bill for the bullet that they used to kill your relative. There will be one choice. Pay.

Well our esteemed Secratary of State is doing much better than that. She has a plan. The Israelis will be asked to buy the bullet in order that their relatives may be killed. The specific relatives to be named at a later date.

Meryl Yourish quotes from Haaretz

Israel, she said, must supply the Palestinian Authority with weapons and ammunition. It must speed up the lines at checkpoints. It must be nice to Abu Mazen's buddies and allow them to operate. As if the missiles and the Qassam rockets fired at Israeli towns every day were our doing.

American foreign policy has sunk to new lows. If they want to kill Jews they ought to at least have the decency to pay for the bullets. What are we? Some kind of thug state?

I wrote a more temperate bit about Rice's visit to Israel a few days ago. When I learned about the requirement for Israel to arm the Palistinians (again!) I just blew my top. A lot of Jews who voted Republican are beginning to lose it. Me too.
