The Talks

They say young folk don't carry watches anymore, since cellphones tell the time. Conclusion: these guys are not young folk. (Apparently they were checking the time before last night's dinner, to make sure they could break the fast.)

Peace talks are always a triumph of hope over experience, and to expect too much would be unrealistic; I wish them well, of oourse, but unless Netanyahu is prepared to jettison part of his present coalition, even such minimal moves as exending th settlement freeze seem hard to achieve.

  1. Can I draw an inference as to the Chief Executive's religion since he's the only one in the picture not looking at his watch?

  2. Tim:

    Sure, but does that mean Netanyahu's keeping Ramadan?
