Hysterical blindness
Last week the wise and Solomon-like President Obama declared that the Palestinian/Israeli conflict could be solved by the simple act of returning Israel to the borders it had before it was attacked by the combined forces of Egypt, Syria and Jordan. The man is a genius! However … and this must clearly be my own shortcoming … I have looked over the map of the 1967 borders and do not see marked upon them a Palestinian State. This must be a hysterical blindness inflicted upon me by my own prejudices, because our Wise and Benevolent Leader would never have suggested such a thing unless it gave the Palestinians back their own state, would he have?
