JERUSALEM: The foreign ministers of Egypt and Jordan began a historic visit to Israel on Wednesday to formally present an Arab peace plan, saying they were extending "a hand of peace" on behalf of the region.

If the Arab League extends a hand of peace to Israel (true peace as civilization understands the term, not as the muzzies understand it), then that is the day a flock of pigs flies by my office window while singing the duet from “Carmen.”
If Olmerde, Peres, and their crowd of fools really believe this “hand of peace” then they’ve been drinking too much bong water.

They have to try. The first wrong step and it’s the evil Joos all over again. Even when their right, they're wrong.
