Saudi foreign minister Prince Saud al-Faisal yesterday said Israel was acting like a “spoiled child.”
The Saudi foreign minister said the international community needed to get tougher with Israel.
“The reason why a solution cannot be reached is the preferential treatment that Israel gets,” he said. “When other countries violate international law, they get punished, except for Israel. If war crimes are committed, other countries get punished, except Israel.
“Israel has become in the international community like a spoiled child,” he said. “It does what it wants without being questioned or punished.”
The Arab and Muslim states are like a bunch of big babies who picked on someone else, got their arse kicked, and then started badmouthing their victim to everyone.
A bunch of big babies who oppress minorites, homosexuals and women.

7:10PM: Do you remember the Iranian Football Federation official on whose behalf a New Year’s greeting email was sent to the Football Federation of Israel?
Make that former Iranian Football Federation official.
A senior official in the Iranian Football Federation (FFI) was urged to resign on Saturday after a New Year’s greeting email was apparently sent on his behalf to his counterparts in Israel, the Iranian Fars news agency reported.
Mohammad-Manour Azimzadeh, the head of the FFI foreign relations’ office, resigned after a mass New Year’s greeting email sent by the FFI reportedly ended up with the football federation of Israel, Iran’s arch-foe.
The FFI said in a statement that the emails are sent every year worldwide to all member federations of the world football governing body FIFA, “except the football federation of the Zionist regime” which has been deleted by the FFI from the mailing list.
AdvertisementThe statement however said that a FIFA employee – apparently an Israeli of Iranian descent – had forwarded the Iranian greeting message to the Israeli federation as well.
The FFI said that Azimzadeh submitted his resignation in light of the incident.

1:00PM: Quote of the day:
“In the acceptable codes of the Middle East, concepts such as ‘national pride’ have a very important value. You don’t have to provoke or incite, but there must not be an attitude of groveling or self disparagement.”
“I have seen some ambassadors who identify with the place in which they serve so much that they keep trying to explain the other side. This is the wrong approach. The time of groveling is over, we will not look for pretexts for conflict or friction, but we will not turn the other cheek.”
“Every thing have a response, this is the policy I demand of you ambassadors. The ambassadors must have good relations and respect the hosting party, and should not look for provocations, but we will not tolerate insults and abuse.”
– Israeli Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman ordering Israeli ambassadors serving around the world to toughen up
He’s 100% right.
