Quote of the Day
“The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is the sexiest conflict in the world, and everybody wants to be involved.”
- Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni, last week at Harvard Kennedy School
Kinky.
But seriously, there is nothing sexy about this conflict, and I’m quite surprised the Foreign Minister would use such a flippant term.
Is there anything sexy about terrorists firing rockets at cities, blowing themselves up in crowded malls, or a terrorist gunning down 8 boys, or putting a bullet through the head of a baby?
No, the correct word is ugly. Because we are seeing palestinians use perhaps the ugliest tactics ever to be used in conflict.
Update: The following picture accompanies the article I linked to above:
Man, that woman really does everything.
Update: Yet another reason why the word sexiest does not come to mind when describing this conflict.
