Jumblatt versus Peres

Israel's president Shimon Peres fainted the other day and was soon after released from the hospital after having been checked out by doctors.

Jumblatt had this to say about the incident:

حتى إبليس بالأمس رفض إستقبال شمعون بيريس بعدما إستدعاه للحظات في غيبوبة لو أتاح القدر أن تكون نهائية لكان العالم تخلص من تلك الاكذوبة التاريخية التي مثلها ذلك الرجل على مر عقود من الصراع العربي- الاسرائيلي، وهو الذي لعب أدورا عديدة خلال كل محاور هذا الصراع. ونتمنى على إبليس في المرة المقبلة ألا يخطئ في حساباته ويدعوه اليه لمرة واحدة وأخيرة، عله بذلك يفيد البشرية في مكان ما

A quick and rough translation: even Satan has refused to welcome Peres after fainting and if fate had willed it to be final, the world would have gotten rid of this historic lie that this guy has embodied for decades during the Arab-Israeli conflict . . . and we hope (or rather wish) that the next time around, for Satan to calculate correctly and invite Peres to him one final time, maybe this way, he (Satan that is) would benefit humanity in some way.

Whether you like Jumblatt or not, you have to agree that he is sometimes very theatrical and amusing!

Watch the Turkish PM (my new favorite person--maybe not wise since I know nothing else about him, but my new favorite person nonetheless) stick it to Israeli President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

Peres tries to make some retarded and so-ridiculously-untrue-I-don't-even-know-how-to-begin-debating-it argument that Israel only retaliates and is never the aggressor and that overall (as in EVER) Palestinians have killed several thousand Israelis, and it makes no difference that that was over a 60-year period whereas Israel did JUST that in 20-odd days.

Good argument Peres, I'm guessing you weren't on your high school debate team

Can you believe they wouldn't let the Turkish PM speak?? I LOVE his exit!

You go Recep Tayyip Erdoğan!!!! (That would be his name...)
