I must be missing something

These are stories that must be read together to fully appreciate their irony:

On one hand, Condoleeza Rice, who is starting to make me nostalgic for the days of James "F--- the Jews" Baker and Madeline Albright, is strongarming Congress into giving hundreds of millions of dollars in extra aid to the Palestinians, "because they really are committed to peace". On the other, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas--you remember, he's the MODERATE leader of Fatah--is screeching that Israel is committing ethnic cleansing in Jerusalem.

Yup, sure sounds moderate to me................
