Second settlement freeze in exchange for what? I've got the solution.
The Obama administration is trying to make the Israeli government impose another 90 day freeze on settlements and has promised to fund the delivery of 20 F-35 advanced stealth fighter jets to Israel if Israel agrees.
So how should Israel react? F-35s are fantastic, but they will come too late to help Israel with all the current problems. Israel needs something in exchange that will be beneficial to both US and Israeli governments and which will ensure that such freeze proposals will not pop up in the future. What is that? The Israeli government must make sure that the Obama administration finally gets a firm grasp on Middle East reality.
The condition from the Israeli side should be that every member of the Obama Administration read Shariah: The Threat to America and then take a short exam that would make sure they have actually read it!
To sweeten the proposal the Israel may suggest that all members of the Israeli cabinet be obliged to do so as well.
