From The Gulf To The Mediterranean

It should come as no surprise that there have long have been close ties, even if they are only now coming out into the open, between Israel and the Gulf monarchies.

Jews may be forbidden to enter those latter, but their attitude to Palestinians is enough to gladden even the hardest heart of a London or New York armchair Likudnik. Just ask the Palestinian refugees in Kuwait, for a start.

No wonder that APIAC, with all that lies behind it, ran a joint Presidential candidate with the axis of Saudi Arabia (where that candidate would be forbidden to drive), Kuwait (where she could not vote, although her husband could) and the United Arab Emirates.

The wonder, indeed the scandal, is that that candidate is to be made Secretary of State at all, never mind as her reward for coming third out of two.
