“Kosovo is not better than us. We deserve independence even before Kosovo, and we ask for the backing of the United States and the European Union for our independence.”
- Yasser Abed Rabbo, aide to PA leader Mahmoud Abbas
The sad thing is, he probably believes it.
I honestly can’t think of one reason why the so-called palestinians deserve independence. As I have argued time and time again, even if you acknowledged they were a distinct nation entitled to self-determination in the historical homeland of the Jews, they have forfeited any right to independence through their morally reprehensible behavior.
“Israel was born from the ashes of the Holocaust. As such, Israel, the Jewish people and every democratic nation would not allow a second Holocaust to take place. Israel is more than prepared to meet any challenge by the new racist Nazi regime in Iran. We know every step they take, we know the color of the underwear that Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Hassan Nasrallah wear.”
- Anonymous Israeli security analyst
I could guess the color of their underwear, especially if they continue threatening us.
Clue: the color resulting from a fair share of filthy germs.
Update: I guess I should have also included this part of the quote:
“If they think that the US can shoot down a satellite with laser pin point accuracy, they have not seen the weapons that Israel would and could use to defend herself — and I am not talking about nuclear or biological.”
I can confirm that I have heard something similar from a trustworthy source. Apparently, we can send any country that tries to destroy us back to the Stone Age.
“I’m not desperate! I just got off of ‘I’m a Celebrity . . . Get Me Out of Here!’ and have a show in 110 countries.”

“I would hope if many people in the world would come to this place, it would be a sobering reminder that evil exists and a call that when we find evil, we must resist it.”
US President George Bush, at Yad Vashem today.
A day after again endorsing a palestinian state - the ultimate reward for decades of palestinian terrorism.
“They shun her like she is Count Dracula’s younger sister.”
- Franz Timmermans, Dutch representative to the Annapolis summit, talking about how the Arab representatives treated Israeli Foreign Minister Tzipi Livni.
Can you guess who said this?
“The Israeli people have been the sacrificial lamb of history.”
And this:
“It’s about f****ing time [said as Fox News reported on Israel's attempt to push Hezbollah out of Southern Lebanon]. ..[The Jews] have been getting killed for 5,000 years. Enough is enough. The rest of the world does not give a shit, except America, because the Israelis have no oil. Everyone sticks with those Arabs—because they have the oil.”
And this:
“We should f****ing get alternative energy and tell all the Arabs and the rest of the world to stick it up their ass. F*** them and the oil!”
And this:
“They are talking about Ahmadinejad coming to New York. I hate the bastard. He sponsors terrorists! The shitface …”
And the answer is..
Fabio (!)
You know, the long-haired romance novel model, I Can’t Believe It’s Not Butter! spokesperson, and sworn enemy of George Clooney and birds everywhere.
The quotes come from this Radar Online article. If you read the whole thing, you’ll discover that Fabio is not the vacuous punchline that many people associate with his name.
Just don’t get him to talk about apples.
(hat tip: Hot Air, who came up with the great post title I can’t believe it’s…Fabio getting all hard core on the war. That’s 1-1, Bryan)
“I admit and confess. I was with those who strongly supported [former prime minister] Ariel Sharon, and today I say with my head held high: We erred, we made a very big mistake.”
- National Infrastructure Minister Binyamin Ben Eliezer, talking about Israel’s disengagement from Gaza.
I’m glad he is honest about it, but not sure why he has his head held high.
“Olmert should not resign because of his condition..this type of illness will not impair his functioning… [He should resign] despite the tumor, because of his failures.”
- Member of Knesset Arieh Eldad (National Union-National Religious Party), after PM Olmert’s announcement that he has prostate cancer
“The PM doesn’t have to resign because of his condition, but he must resign because of his decisions during the Second Lebanon War and the police investigations.”
- Member of Knesset Ran Cohen (Meretz), also after the announcement.
Tough crowd.
“Today, more than ever, Israel continues along Rabin’s path — the path that will lead us to the sought after peace.”
- Israeli President Shimon Peres at yesterday’s ceremony honoring Yitzhak Rabin and marking the 12th anniversary of his assassination
And hence the myth - that the current “peace process” is conducive with Rabin’s vision - continues.
Sure, Rabin wanted peace, but not at any price. Certainly, not at the price subsequent Israeli governments have been willing to pay.
Here’s another quote for you - namely Rabin’s speech upon ratification of the Israel-Palestinian Interim Agreement on October 5, 1995:
