Obama Pal Rashid Khalidi Uses Word Associated With Insects and Vermin to Describe What's About to Unfold Re Israel Under Trump
Sounds like Khalidi is implying that the U.S. is going to need some heavy duty pest control to deal with this impending Jewish "problem" :
You can see where he's coming from, however. From his perspective, the worst sort of "infestation" of all is the Zionist kind.
Update: Re Edward Said's most famous and influential book, Martin Kramer employs the perfect descriptor:
Pro-Israel figures will “infest” President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, a Palestinian-American Columbia University professor and notorious critic of the Jewish state declared on Tuesday.
“There are a group of people, a lot of them in Israel and some of them in the United States, who live in a world of their own,” Rashid Khalidi — the Edward Said professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia — stated during an interview aired by Chicago’s WBEZ 91.5 public radio station. “That is to say, they think that whatever they want and whatever cockamamie schemes they can cook up can be substituted for reality.”
“So they have a vision whereby the occupied territories aren’t occupied,” Rashidi continued. “They have a vision whereby there is no such thing as the Palestinians. They have a vision whereby international law doesn’t exist. They have a vision whereby the United States can unilaterally cancel a decision of the United Nations. And unfortunately these people infest the Trump transition team, these people are going to infest our government as of January 20th. And they are hand in glove with a similar group of people in the Israeli government and in Israeli political life who think that whatever they think can be imposed on reality.”...It's pretty rich for a guy who lives in a Columbia U./Edward Said bubble to whinge about the cockamamie and the unreal (adjectives which could be used to describe both the bubble and the collected works of Said and Khalidi).
You can see where he's coming from, however. From his perspective, the worst sort of "infestation" of all is the Zionist kind.
Update: Re Edward Said's most famous and influential book, Martin Kramer employs the perfect descriptor:
Orientalism by Edward Said (1978). Sigh… I suppose “baneful” is the best adjective. No book has done more to obscure the Middle East, and impart a sense of guilt to anyone who has had the audacity to represent it. The French scholar Jacques Berque (praised by Said) put it succinctly: Said had done “a disservice to his countrymen in allowing them to believe in a Western intelligence coalition against them.” But the book gave rise to a cottage industry in Western academe, and helped tilt the scales in academic appointments. Its influence may be waning, but it’s still on syllabi everywhere.Update: Now that the Obama presidency is no more, do you think the L.A. Times will agree to release that Obama-Khalidi tape, the one it's been sitting on for the past eight years?

Sickening, but given how the victimhood game is played in our day, not much of a surprise.
Why the "Two-State Solution" Wasn't--and Isn't--A Go
Here, in a nutshell, is why it has always been a non-starter (my bolds):
An honest appraisal of the historical record indicates it was never possible for one principal reason, the Palestinians have never been prepared to share any part of the land they claim as their own. This irredentism is based in large measure on the view that Jews have no place in the Islamic world – except as second-class citizens (dhimmis) under Muslim rule. No UN resolution or State Department formula will change this reality and therefore it is time acknowledge the two-state idea as presently conceived is dead.Given that reality, what he have here is an either-or situation. There can either be an Israel or a "Palestine." Until and unless the Islamic world can renounce core Islamic teachings/texts, there cannot be both.

Obama Does Dirt to Jewry One Last Time
Of all of Obama's abominable actions, this may well be the worst--rewarding the court Jew who helped smooth the way for that heinous deal with Iran's Grandiose Ayatollah (the guy who has vowed to wipe "Zionist entity" and its six million Jews off the map) with a place on--wait for it--the Holocaust Memorial Council.
Update: Obama is "a spite machine."

Re Israel, Obama's OCD is Worse Than Ever
In his final interview as POTUS with "60 Minutes," Barack Obama, who is obsessed--yes, obsessed--with the Israel "problem," couldn't resist taking a parting shot at the stiff-necked Jewish state:
WASHINGTON — The increase of Israeli settlements has “gotten so substantial” that it is inhibiting the possibility for an “effective, contiguous Palestinian state,” President Barack Obama said Sunday, in his final interview as president.
Speaking to CBS’ “60 Minutes,” Obama dismissed the idea that there is a “major rupture” in the relationship between the United States and Israel after last month’s decision by the U.S. to abstain from a United Nations vote condemning Israeli settlements.
“Because of our investment in the region, and because we care so deeply about Israel, I think [the U.S.] has a legitimate interest in saying to a friend, ‘This is a problem,’ ” Obama said. “It would have long-term consequences for peace and security in the region, and the United States.”Actually...no. It's Obama's "solution" that would have dire long-term consequences--for a viable Israel.
