'Fair and Balanced' in the Toronto Star

How it works is: you send Order of Canada-winning pontificator Harpoon Siddiqui to Cairo (best way to get him out of the office, I suppose), have him interview the head of the eliminationist Arab League and then write reams of turgid prose about how Israel is bollixing up the sacred "peace process" by building stuff. (H/T SL)

Update: Go figure--the President of the U.S. (currently visiting Indonesia, his boyhood home) sounds exactly like an Arab Leaguer:

“This kind of activity is never helpful when it comes to peace negotiations, and I’m concerned that we’re not seeing each side make the extra effort involved to get a breakthrough,” Mr. Obama said during a joint news conference with President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono here. He added, “Each of these incremental steps end up breaking trust.”...

Hey, you're preaching to the converted, dude. Your hosts are already convinced there's no trusting those Jews.

Also--get set for another barn-burner of an outreach speech from Obama tomorrow (who, despite receiving a tremendous rebuke from Americans during mid-term elections, is determined to stay the course):

Mr. Obama is making outreach to the Muslim world a major theme of his brief visit to Indonesia. He closed his remarks at Tuesday’s press conference with the Muslim greeting “Salaam Aleikhem,” and said he intends to reshape American relations with Muslim nations so they are not “focused solely on security issues” but rather on expanded cooperation across a broad range of areas, from science to education. Aides say the speech he planned to give Wednesday at the University of Indonesia — and still hopes to give, albeit earlier than expected — will build on one he delivered in Cairo last year, in which he called for “a new beginning” with the Muslim world.

If at first you don't succeed, grovel, grovel again, right?
