ISRAEL LINKED TO GLOBAL WARMING. The Bald-Headed Geek quotes from an article by Daniel Schwammenthal, The Israel Bashing Club, about the United Nations International Conference of Civil Society in Support of Israeli-Palestinian Peace last week in Brussels.

There was Clare Short, a member of the British Parliament and Secretary for International Development under Prime Minister Tony Blair until she resigned in 2003 over the Iraq war. Claiming that Israel is actually "much worse than the original apartheid state" and accusing it of "killing (Palestinian) political leaders," Ms. Short charged the Jewish state with the ultimate crime: Israel "undermines the international community's reaction to global warming." According to Ms. Short, the Middle East conflict distracts the world from the real problem: man-made climate change. If extreme weather will lead to the "end of the human race," as Ms. Short warned it could, add this to the list of the crimes of Israel.

Jimmy Carter is probably someone kicking himself for not thinking of this first.
