#4 You know, Israel should agree to swap all their prisoners for Shalit. Tell wackjobs that they'll give up every prisoner they've got for Shalit. There's only -1- condition. Whatever condition Shalit is in, that's the condition they get back their prisoners. So if Shalit is dead...well, I'm sure Israel has enough ammo to put all their Hamas types in the same condition.

Of course, there's another way too, build a giant trebuchet, and fire the prisoners into Gaza or the West Bank, tied to large rocks.

#5 Of course, there's another way too, build a giant trebuchet, and fire the prisoners into Gaza or the West Bank, tied to large rocks.

After spending time in Israeli prison, the Palestinians weigh enough that there's no need for extra rocks to give them enough heft to produce a decent trajectory, Silentbrick.

Separately, the Saudi initiative, in reality the Thomas L. Friedman initiative -- Mr. Friedman having taken a bit of idle dinner conversation and puffed it up in his New York Times column -- called for Israel to retreat to the pre-1967 war boundaries. This was never a possibility except as a starting point for negotiations along the lines of, "No, but here's our counteroffer." Incoming Prime Minister Netanyahu is no Olmert; there was never any possibility he'd fall for such nonsense.

I do love that last paragraph:

MK Ahmed Tibi (United Arab List-Ta'al) will be attending meetings associated with the summit. Speaking by phone from Doha, he told Haaretz that he had met with officials from Yemen and other Gulf countries. "My opinion, which is what I represent here, is that the international community must force Israel to accept the two-state solution and work to establish a Palestinian state, and if not, a diplomatic price should be paid," Tibi said.

"Must force"? One can only hope MK Lieberman will demand his colleague take that loyalty oath upon his return.

#6 Today, a conference of jackals and lions issued a communique demanding that herd of gazelles accept the new hyena initiative. The draft proposal of the statement states: "the dinner initiative being proposed today will not be on offer for at least another week. Predator commitment to this initative is dependant on prey acceptance. Please send out your weak and elderly & we will spare your young."

The wording is a compromise between scavengers & carrion-eaters and the greater predators.
