An immaculate conception?

http://weekly.ahram.org.eg/2010/994/op3.htm

The Palestinian Authority is pregnant! Indeed, it is the unelected and American-imposed Palestinian Prime Minister Salam Fayyad who is pregnant. He told the Israeli newspaper Haaretz in a recent interview that "the time for this baby to be born will come... and we estimate it will come around 2011." Unlike females of the human species but like female whales, the gestation period for male Palestinian collaborators with the Israeli occupation extends at least to two years. Fayyad, "the Palestinian Ben- Gurion," as Shimon Peres recently dubbed him, had declared his pregnancy in a document he issued on 25 August 2009 titled Palestine: Ending the Occupation and Establishing the State, and more recently to Haaretz : "the birth of a Palestinian state will be celebrated as a day of joy by the entire community of nations."

We seem to already know the name, weight, ideological colour, and the physical make-up of this "baby;" nay we even know the political structure, and the foreign policy of the fruit of Fayyad's womb: a tiny Palestinian "state" that recognises Israel as a "biblical" Jewish state. The time of birth will be determined by Fayyad as both mother and midwife. While the last immaculate conception that took place in Palestine was in Nazareth, it remains unclear if what is unfolding in Ramallah is a second immaculate conception, as no paternity tests have been scheduled as of yet for this illegitimate baby. Given the longstanding affairs that Fayyad has had with the Americans since his stint at the International Monetary Fund from 1995 to 2002, some heretics reject the theory of immaculate conception and claim to know the identity of the father and point to Fayyad's words as evidence. According to Haaretz, Fayyad is planning to induce labour in August 2011 in order "for the state to be born during the first term of Barack Obama", the most likely father according to the heretics. Non- Cuban cigars will be on hand for immediate distribution to the friends and family of the happy couple. It should be noted that while Fayyad's declaration of his two-year pregnancy was made in August 2009, belated congratulations finally arrived from the European Union and the Quartet in December 2009.

But as many previous pregnancies by other Palestinian male collaborators turned out, to the chagrin of many, to be hysterical pregnancies, or, in case they were real pregnancies were terminated prematurely, before Fayyad's baby is born, several steps will have to be taken in order to ensure that this "real" pregnancy be carried full term:

Can someone tell me what all the fuss is about?

Thanks for posting btw.

...that guarantees another 62 years of misery and resistance for stateless Palestinians?

:eyes:

Neither the Clinton Parameters or the Geneva Initiative come close to meeting these extreme expectations that simply will not allow for Israel to remain intact and secure.

It's the same position of Arab extremists in 1948.

It's no wonder Ray Hanania is frowned upon by some here. He's WAY too liberal/progressive for these FAR rightwingers who write for EI. For that matter so are Jimmy Carter and Noam Chomsky, who think the Geneva Initiative is fair. Massad and his gang believe something like the GI is nothing short of treasonous capitulation.

Even if Obama manages to get Israel to pull back exactly to 1948 borders, accept 500,000 refugees, and drop recognition of a Jewish state as a condition, Obama would be seen as a betrayor and Zionist Imperialist who caved and didn't do enough to guarantee Israel's destruction.

This is nothing but a sick, warmongering position that does nothing for the welfare of Palestinians in general.

Boy, you just don't know where to start.

Time to stop the process, take a break, and assess internally on both sides!

conception line, but valid concerns nonetheless, imho.
