Canadian Foreign Pushover – er – Minister – Bill Graham met with the president of the Arab League today, and came away singing the anti-security fence tune:
After meeting with Foreign Minister Bill Graham, Arab League Secretary General Amr Mussa said of the decision [to go ahead with the fence construction]: “The impact is negative, that is clear.
“The impact on the peace process is negative … it is destroying the peace process, the road map and any chance of a peaceful outcome.”
Talking to reporters, with Graham at his side, Mussa added: “These measures are provoking the Palestinians.”
Graham added: “The construction of the wall destroys prospects for peace. It is unwise.”
The wall prevents peace. Sure. The bombers blowing up busloads of small children, they’re not doing anything. But the defensive wall built to keep these bombers out, now THAT is the biggest obstacle to peace.
Of course, Graham has it backwards. Israel is under attack. So what is it supposed to do?
It can’t launch counterstrikes to defend itself – the world condemns it for that.
It can’t use curfews or checkpoints to try to prevent terrorists from slipping through – the world condemns it for that, too.
It can’t even build a wall to try to defend itself even psychologically, if nothing else. Cause Israel gets accused of “provoking” the Palestinians and being “unhelpful” to the peace process for that too.
Hey Bill, get a fucking clue, ok? Israel isn’t gonna sit back and wait to be destroyed. I know that’s what you’d do if it were up to you . . . which is why it’s a really damn good thing it’s not up to you.
Bill Graham is grade-A moron. He’s just trying to get brownie points with the arabs. When I used to fight, we were always told “don’t try for brownie points, or you’ll see your leg in the butcher shop”. Probably doesn’t make too much sense to you. What I mean is that Bill Graham might end up losing the leg he uses to kick Israel with if he’s trying to get brownie points from the arabs. Since his rehtoric didn’t make sense – “the fence is an obsticle to peace, but the suicide bombers aren’t”.
