Peace, douze points…

Filed under: Israel, Middle East, Palestinians — Bert de Bruin on November 3, 2007 @ 10:29 am CET

Right now I am reading a book by the Dutch writer-comedian Kees van Kooten. The last chapter of the book contains a number of propositions. One of them caught my eye: ” Peace will not reign in the Middle East until Palestine participates in the Eurovision Song Contest and receives two points from Israel.”

    I don’t think it will happen until we separate the “kids” and then force them in some manner to be economically dependent on each other! Both sides of the issue generally have an inate ability to be excellent linguist, traders and business people. But they are hot heads (generally!)

    You really think that infantalization is the best foundation for a foreign policy?

    You don’t figure we already haven’t done that in some respects?
