#1 They cannot ignore this agreement and impose their own conditions, he said.

Wanna bet?

#3 Sounds like the guy on Hannity last might. A lot of cognitive dissonance is coming to the surface for all to see. What phase is the moon in?

#4 Little Johnnys mother, fed up with the state of his room and his behaviour grounds him and informs him he cannot leave his room until he makes his bed, cleans up his toys and stops fighting with his sister.

Ten days later, Mom checks in to see how hes doing, The bed is unmade, toys are scattered everywhere and his sister has a black eye. Mom reiterates the rules. Johnny says there is no point in making his bed as itll only get mussed again that night; he likes his toys scattered and he hates his sister. Johnny has a hissy fit and demands to be let out of his room.

10 more days go by and Mom checks in on Johnny. Bed is now invisible under rumpled blankets, she cant even get in the room because of the minefield of toys and his sister has a bleeding nose. Johnny says hes been punished enough and should be allowed to leave, cause he likes his bed unmade, theyre his toys and he gets to decide where they belong and he hates his sister. Mom locks him back in the room.

10 more days go by and Johnny yells for his Mom to come see - hes ready to leave his room. Mom chugs up the stairs with the best of hopes and peeks in. The bed has collapsed under the weight of crap piled on it; the floor in covered in toys and debris and his sister is dead. Johnny is standing, grinning from ear to ear, in small strip of cleared floor. What the hell?, says Mom. Look at this place! You havent done a thing I asked and worse, now your sister is dead. What makes you think you can leave your room?

Johnny beams at her and flips over on his back, then up again. Look Mom, I can do a summersault!

#6 Saudi Arabia pledged $1B to the unity government going forward. And it seems like I remember Iran saying they were gonna give a bunch to Hamas (>$1B?).

Couple of questions:
- How much money - from the quartet et al - was cut off in the first place?
- What's the shortfall with regard to running the PA?

Seems like we're moving towards a proxy battle between SA/Iran in Gaza/WestBank, with the rest of us standing on the sidelines, Israel nervously.
