1. Serious Stuff At The United Nations - the bastion of uselessness will serve as an interesting diplomatic battleground in the fall - someone in the Israeli diplomatic corps better get on this. The Palestinians have been getting everything for nothing forever, so they will spare no effort to effect this victory. How Palestinians will use the GA to advance statehood. The only further thing they could want would be given all of Israel without any Jews - but don't think they isn't what they want - and they have the usual fools in the West to help them - The Progressive West Supports the Quest for a Judenrein State of Palestine (more on this later).
"We are now in the 92nd year of a peace process in which the Palestinians are the first people in history to be offered a state seven times, reject it seven times, and set preconditions for discussing an eighth offer."My only issue with the quote is that I do not believe that there is such a thing as the "Palestinian People" in terms of a national or political group - they are, in my opinion, Arabs who lived in the former British Mandate that resulted from the dissolution of the Ottoman Empire - see this link for more details.
2. Facebook - there's a new page on Facebook about starting the Third Intifada - wonder how fast a page advocating killing Muslims or Blacks or Indians or Asians or Italians or French or Germans or Russians or whoever - or even baby seals for that matter - would be permitted to remain ? But don't worry, they are going to monitor the situation - Facebook 'monitoring' page calling for 3rd intifada - if the guys at Facebook can't figure this out, they they need to take a remedial class in Hatred 101.
Like the politically correct and ivory tower challenged President of the University of Manitoba who wouldn't censor what he hadn't yet heard in respect of the disgraceful anti-Israel sham known as IAW, these Facebook morons don't see the need to nip this in the bud - I guess having money doesn't make you smart. And in both cases, is there any doubt what was going to be said during IAW on the Manitoba campus, and is there any doubt what happened during the first and second Intifadas?
Hey U of M and Facebook - what would you say about these guys? Calgary’s in-your-face neo-Nazis take to the streets - The Globe and Mail Can they come to U of M? Don't know what they will say, but we can't prejudge........Can they put up a page on Facebook? I know - you'll monitor it....

12. The End - as regular visitors to this blog know, I try to end with something lighter or upbeat. Sometimes, that it easier said than done. Tonight, having just finished reading "Going Down Jericho Road" a fantastic book about the 1968 Memphis sanitation workers' strike and Martin Luther King's subsequent involvement (which is why he was in memphis when he was murdered), I thought it was appropriate to end with something inspirational from Martin Luther King - from the eerie prescient speech given the night before his murder - which is even more remarkable if you know the background described in the book.
