And I will give children to be their princes, and babes shall rule over them

Only an Obama gamble can break the logjam by September. He should go to Jerusalem in May and address the Knesset. He should spell out all the ways America will guarantee Israel’s security.

-Roger Cohen
I don't see why the President of the United States needs to spell it out when even Wikipedia seems to know the answer. These squealing appeals to pet and coddle the little puppy that is Israel always put me in mind of one of my favorite chapter that isn't in Ecclesiastes, which is Isaiah 3, truly some fine fucking anathema:
The LORD will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.

What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord GOD of hosts .

Perhaps M. Cohen was referencing Logjammin' and believes that the President is going to go to Israel and fix their cable.

They could just merge the Senate and the Knesset to save time.

No judgment is applicable without the words, 'smitest them.'

That Wikipedia page reminds of the time I visited an old synagogue in Akkah, Israel. As I reached around in my pocket for a shekel to make a donation, the rabbi said "That's okay. We also take dollars."

Love that Isaiah. He makes me want to convert.
