   Not that I have any faith in the “peace process,” but what always galls me is that Israel always asks for “concessions” from the Palestinians, like a thief asking for a handout while he picks your pocket. Netanyahu’s amazing stunts regarding the “settlement freeze” will make him go down in history as one of the greatest of all of Israel’s bullsh*t artists. While settlements continue to be built, he whines about how Abbas won’t return to negotiations, and he blabbers about how the Palestinians won’t offer any “concessions.”

   Chutzpah, indeed.

   The late Dr. Robert John, the author of “The Palestine Diaries”, always told me that: “the Palestinians are too nice!”

   Here is joke with some truth:

   A little old Jewish lady sold pretzels for 25 cents each, next to an IDF checkpoint. Every day a young Palestinian man would leave for work and had to pass through the IDF checkpoint. As he passed the pretzel stand, he would leave her a quarter, but never take a pretzel.

   And this went on for more then 3 years. The two of them never spoke. One day, as the young man passed the old lady’s stand and left his quarter as usual, the pretzel lady spoke to him.

   “Sir, I appreciate your business. You are a good customer, but I have to tell you that the pretzel price has gone up to 35 cents.”

   Chutzpah, indeed.
