The Foreign Minister as Disaster

For Palestinians, Mahmoud al Zahhar is a disaster of international proportions. He apparently missed his party's briefing on "constructive ambiguity" and is functioning according to the principle of every time you open your mouth, make sure to destroy, destroy, destroy.

He is so happy that Israel does not want to negotiate that he can hardly contain himself. "we told our people and tell them that there will be no negotiations." When did they do that? I don't remember reading anything about it in the Palestinian press. The Palestinian people are frustrated that Israel is not negotiating, which implies that they do want a negotiated solution. But Israel's rejection of negotiation got Zahhar off the hook. Now, he can just focus on building his Islamic State.

Al Zahhar was speaking his jems to a Chinese newspaper. I guess the opening up of new continents has begun.
