A Deck Firmly Stacked Against the People of Palestine

President Obama then shakes the hand of the Prime Minister and clumsily passes 4 palmed aces as he tells the PM his security is assured. The Prime Minister grins smugly, tucks the cards on his lap, checking first to insure that those cards are from the marked deck he had supplied the President during the pre-game talk.
Assured, he nods to Abu Mazen and thanks him for being a serious partner in this high stakes game then nods to the just arriving audience and expresses his conviction, to them, that they will witness the fairest game he has ever played. The President then takes the hand of Abu Mazen, squeezes it as hard as he can, and wiggles his middle finger against Mazen’s palm.
At this point, the President rises, announces the dealer (Hillary Clinton) who makes her way to the table, jokingly whispers between her and Abu Mazen, “Remember to deal from the top!” and exits. As he heads out the door a reporter asks, “Why are there no Hamas players today?”, to which he quickly responds, “They cheat... and, besides, we haven’t supplied them with a big enough stake. Hell, Mazen will just barely make the ante.”
The reporter scribbles on his pad, “The President states that Hamas would only try to undermine the game.”
Sounds cynical, doesn’t it? Let’s take a closer look.

thier is a legitimate case to be made that the us cannot serve as a true third party arbitrator between israel and the palastinians, as our ties with israel create a natural bias.
but showing that via spegetti western narratives just makes it so full of conjecture and rediculousness that it devalues that point. - 1 year ago

This is one of the most dismal realities of our time and I hope that the President will dig deep and choose not the political route to take on this challenge but the most humane , for our future depends on the choices we make and this is one of most dastardly miss guided and despicable paths we have been following and these people deserve to be treated as if they have worth and hope to some day be at peace and live free to have a future. How did things get this bad it is really mind boggling that no one has the guts to stand up for these people the world should be ashamed
