WHOOPS!

Never exactly geniuses, those right wing Jews who praised Bush's Israel policy are now very intellectually hungover. As they blink into the profane daylight and nurse their horribly throbbing theories, they put me in mind of that wicked aphorism by the French writer and theorist Edmond Jabes: "Even the future has a morning after."

To which I add: "Even Abu Mazen gets an invitation to the White House," or as Arutz Sheva bitterly complained: "The admitted Holocaust denier has accomplished that which Arafat was unable to attain, acceptance from Israel and the White House despite spewing much of the same anti-Israel hate rhetoric and vowing to continue the Arafat legacy."
