From Ulf: "Nothing is stupid enough for the friends of Israel
though:
"Hagel
was in hot water for alleged hostility to Israel. So, I asked my source, had
Hagel given a speech to, say, the “Junior League of Hezbollah, in France”? And:
What about “Friends of Hamas”? The names were so over-the-top, so linked to
terrorism in the Middle East, that it was clear I was talking hypothetically and
hyperbolically. No one could take seriously the idea that organizations with
those names existed — let alone that a former senator would speak to
them.""
