The Road Map of Marquis de Sade or Speaking Dirty for Palestine

[DuctapeFatwa]

The Road Map is not a compromise between Palestinians and Jews, but between Jews and Jews, none of whom lives in the Middle East, namely, between Jewish liberals of New York and Jewish neo-cons of Washington. Both groups are devoted to preservation and prosperity of the Jewish State, but they disagree on strategy: while neo-cons such as Perle would exterminate and evaporate its enemies a la Joshua bin Nun, Tom Friedman and other liberals think the goyim could be safely jailed in security of Gaza strip guarded by NATO soldiers. Now, these two groups reached a compromise for following reasons. The active stage of the American conquest of Iraq is over, but the US army bleeds in Iraq and Afghanistan. Before replacing American soldiers in the conquered lands by French, Indian and other conscripts, in order to free them for the next stage, the assault on Iran, it needs to show the world that the war was not just an ugly imperial enterprise done in the interests of the Zionists. Whence the Road Map was ushered in .

The two Jewish schools of the US are wonderful in providing drama. Though the real difference between the twain is tiny, they obscure it by boisterous philippics. Like seasoned shopkeeper bemoans ill luck that forces him to part with a treasured item at a rock-bottom price, and encourages an innocent buyer to enter the deal, the hard-core Zionists bewailed 'the Auschwitz borders' of the Road Map. Some friends of Palestine, mainly the believers in two-states' solution saw the distrait Jews and took the bait. They hastily concluded that the Road Map is good and fair for Palestinians.

'The Zionists are hysterically frightened of this unflinching Texan cowboy', - wrote Jack Graham, the lawyer, 'He will show us the independence of the American mindset! Peace is nigh!' Always ready to jump the gun, Ali Abunimah proclaimed (in a piece called Who's afraid of the Road Map? ) "Israel's supporters are in full panic by even the appearance of minimal fairness and reciprocity contained in the plan'.

Alas, nobody was afraid of the Road Map. Abunimah et al repeated the error of the youthful bride of prince de Bauffremont, a notorious sodomite in a delightful if risque story by Marquis de Sade. The Prince was to be married to the chaste and innocent girl...

1. Waht about the THIRD party of Jews?

The true progressives? Those who are for a Palestinian state in all of the West Bank and Gaza? They are here, though many of them are quiet.

2. but did they have anything to do with drawing up...

...the "road map?" The article suggests that it was primarily a compromise between two specific Jewish perspectives, not that other views don't exist.

3. This is the part I take issue with...

The two Jewish schools of the US are wonderful in providing drama. Though the real difference between the twain is tiny, they obscure it by boisterous philippics.

Doesn't that strongly imply taht there are only two?

4. Have not seen Mr. Shamir here for a while.

Sort of reminds me of Mr. Dershowitz, but on the other
side. He can be fun, but don't spend too much time on it.
