  • PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas has stated that the PA is ready for ‘backdoor’ talks. Arafat would be proud.
  • The IDF are now permitted to strike Kassam rocket launchers. The IDF will reportedly be permitted “to strike prior to, during or after the rockets are launched, within certain limitations regarding intelligence, the cells‚Äô proximity to Palestinian population centers and other operational considerations.” ‘It seems the limitation regarding intelligence is that this is plain stupid, since the terrorists can easily launch the rockets from locations within population centers, and escape reprisal.
  • Currently in Israel, Egyptian Foreign Minister, “Rodeo” Aboul Gheit, has stated that he’s sure Gilad Shalit is alive.
  • There’s almost as much white stuff in Jerusalem right now as there is on Spanish banknotes.
  • Speaking of Spain and precipitation, Vice Premier Shimon Peres is being a pain in Spain who borders on insane.
