Obama administration sets up base camp in Netanyahu’s rectum

I haven't posted about the Obama administration's giveaway to Israel because it fully encompasses, and therefore defies, satire.  Seriously, how can you make fun of an offer like this?

• Israel will receive $3 billion worth of F-35 fighters*
• The Obama administration will block all anti-Israel (i.e. pro-reality) UN Security Council resolutions
• The "settlement freeze" Israel is being asked to observe will last only 90 days, and won't even apply to East Jerusalem (where Israel is currently most actively expanding its settlements)
• The Obama administration won't ask Israel for any further reductions in settlement activity in the future, no matter how symbolic and meaningless they might be
• Israel will not be required to do anything at all in exchange for this largesse beyond showing up at more peace-delaying talks

(The exact details are unclear and also still in flux, no doubt in part because there's been pushback within elite circles over the initial leaked outlines of the deal and the Obamaites are trying to do damage control.)

If you're dying to hear someone give it the full treatment, here's Robert Fisk.  Fisk calls it "appeasement", but I think that falls short of capturing the absurdity.  This was a "negotiation" in approximately the same sense that a waiter "negotiates" with customers over what they'd like to eat for dinner.  It's like going to a used car dealership and demanding to pay TRIPLE THE ASKING PRICE, as long as you're not required to take possession of the car.  It's the most dramatic illustration of abject US servility to Israel I can recall, and that's saying a lot.  Just imagine how much worse it might have been if Obama weren't a hysterical anti-Israel jihadist!

The only question now is: will the Obama administration manage to make the summit of the duodenum before the snows set in, or will they be forced to winter in the small intestine?

* The Obama administration apparently wanted the F-35s to be an outright gift, but it's possible that Israel will pay some nominal portion of the cost:

Israeli officials believe Mrs. Clinton offered the planes free of charge, according to a senior Israeli official. But an American official said Israel must pay some of the $3 billion, though it will be subsidized by the United States.

So this will probably be covered by some other portion of the billions of dollars granted annually to Israel by the US—a bookkeeping change intended to make the deal look less ridiculous on the surface, at most.  But hey, shouldn't we at least be flattered that they still care enough about what we think to put on a charade?
