I used to watch Mr. Ed every day as a kid. Loved the witty, ironic things that that horse could say, using his mouth. Now the TV news shows us two talking horses' asses, both visiting Israel incessantly. They are not witty at all, and the irony is unconscious, as are they.

“Peace” would mean the expulsion of tens of thousands of Jews from their homes in Judaea and Samaria.

Whoever goes along with such a notion in Washington and Jerusalem is out of touch with reality.

And for G-d’s sake, give Joe Biden his Hawaiian pork dinner this time. He won’t notice anything, so long as he’s got pineapple and pig on his plate.

Wow, according to Biden, it’s Israel’s fault that there is no peace with murderous, Israel-hating Palestinians.

It’s like sitting in a box seat having read the end of the script. These people have no idea of who wrote the screen play nor have the any clue as to the ending.

Teenage boys seize their moment quite often. Then they grow up and get married.

When the Dims make peace with the American citizens, and stop pushing them into corners....he can ask the Jews to make peace with those that want to kill them.
