Hamas and a truce

I didn't read the terms that Hamas proposed. I suppose it will be an improvement on their last offer which was something on the lines of "You all go away and we will stop shooting at you."

So I've invented my own, purely imaginary terms.

  • We'll swap the last 3000 Arab Christians for some serious chicken soup, a fresh set of disposables for the hospitals and some replacement car batteries. You can settle these infidels in a place of your choosing so they'll only be hated by two segments of the population.
  • The tunnels from Egypt are swamped with cigarettes, car parts and Viagra. Can we go back to having them in via the border so we can collect VAT please?
  • Guns and ammunition prices are at a historic low here. We want an export license.
  • Now that we've shut the cinemas, it's a DVD only place. Could we have the latest releases without Hebrew only sub titles? We'll pay this time.
  • We promise not to fire any more rockets if you accept that the IDF will run around the Negev occasionally shouting 'Bang'. That's a win-win situation. No mess no fuss.
  • We accept that we're wrong about the toothpaste. No more Colgate though.
I don't suppose it'll work though. Some politico, somewhere will object , a committee will be formed and that will be it's fateful and inevitable end. Tomorrow, I'll think of the Israeli terms.

How kind. Shame on me for ducking out for such a long time and neglecting my blog.
