  1. In the final weeks of the Obama administration the blinkers finally fall from Dersh's eyes.

    Now the guy says that Obama stabbed Israel in the back and that if Ellison becomes DNC chair he'll leave the party.

    How is that someone like Dershowitz who has far, far more experience with all-things-Israel than me could have been so friggin' wrong for so friggin' long?

    He now says that Obama has severely damaged the peace process.

    I called that in 2009, for chrissake:

    "As I have written before, Obama’s big mistake, if he was hoping to actually bring about peace between the Israelis and the Palestinians, was calling for a total settlement freeze in both the West Bank and East Jerusalem."

    The End of the Israeli-Palestinian Peace Process.

    1. They keep putting pressure on the wrong party as was aptly demonstrated in you 2009 piece. I never thought Obama was a friend to Israel, i.e., his proclamations to be a strong supporter were bullshit. Some of the lyrics were there, but the music was completely missing.

  2. It just turned 2017 in my neck of the woods.

    By my calculation that means Obama still has nineteen hours to truly stuff up 2016.

  4. " US President Barack Obama expressed condolences for the loss of innocent lives" ( in Istanbul ).

    What a toe rag of a human being this man is.

  5. besides George Bush (the younger not the elder - the elder loathed Israel) who is not the brightest penny in the pile no American President has ever trusted Israel - and with excellent reasons! Israel is an ally to no one but itself!

  6. In a way, liberal SF writers are often the most conservative crypto right wing people of them all. The Future Always Sucks.

    1. People would sometimes wonder how Robert Heinlein, the guy who wrote the hippie-dippie Stranger in a Strange Land, could also be the guy who gave us the fascism of Starship Troopers.

      People had a hard time grokking it.
