1) Suggests 
l2
-- or one might say, a bit more precisely 'insinuates withunveiled superciliousness' -- 
l1
that Israel's suspension of the Cairo talks in response to thekidnapping was a politically expedient overreaction.
We are also beginning to hear a new argument:  you have got tomake Arafat look good, or else the fundamentalists/rejectionistswill kill him, and then you won't have anyone to make peace with.
l2
(It was apparently this intellectual revolution in politicalscience, 
l3
or at least political philosophy
l4
whatever that might pretend to be
l3
for which half a Nobel Prize seems barely sufficientrecognition, 
l4
given the rising price of Scotch
l2
that precipitated the Oslo capitulation)

2) Derek Brown, 
In one of those dialogues in which the interviewer supplies allanswers, describes the Yoel Salomon St. attack as having occurredin "Jewish Jerusalem" (although he subsequently terms it 'theheart of Jerusalem.'
 
COMMENTS:

1) The British, at least those of the better classes, never seemto have been quite able to comprehend why Israeli governmentsshould persist in refusing to regard their soldiers as expendable. 
l2
Gallipoli was a bloody good show
l1
Although U.S. military strategy from U.S. Grant through Vietnam(but not the Gulf War) tended to regard draftees as an inexpensivesubstitute for artillery, the USA has long since learned to make apopular art of hypocritic sentimentality.
   
2)  Brown's a bloke wot writes for the Guardian (a paper for theworking stiff to wrap his Perrier in) and tries to say nothingthat does not sound as if he's got a thinly-sliced cucumbersandwich stuck up his nose.

The English have made an extraordinary art of crafting theirvenerable languge into an enormously subtle and differentiatedmechanism for defining, and perhaps in some similar senseconsolidating, the social position of imitation upper-class twits(Major's cirusmaster).

Like, it ain't like essentially vocabulary syntax nor grammar;there's tricks of emphasis, iming and -- inflection -- thatwestern literacy can't yet map.
