Gaza a year after
and then some

Ed Note: See comments below to follow events into 2011

1. Noam Chomsky talks about Gaza a year after the Israeli attack.

2. Meanwhile Israel complains because George Mitchell has threatened to cut off the cash trying to pressure Netanyahu — a precise echo of the Bush-Baker years.

3. And the Israeli general who once headed their nuclear weapons program says that Iranian nukes are seven years distant.

Team Obama this year has enacted a betrayal of the Cairo speech.

   Arabs in rubble. That’s the policy.

   Meanwhile Netanyahu calls on Obama to release from prison the Israeli spy Pollard.

   ?”Tzipi Livni tells [PA chief negotiator Saeb] Erekat about a Hebrew saying:

   ‘When you want to curse somebody, you tell [them] go to hell, but we shorten it and say go to Gaza.’ ”

   What a card! What a cut up!
