Kuwaiti FM: Israel's prime minister is 'stupid and insane'
Palestinian peace with Israel still unlikely but Hamas and Fatah 'close to reconciliation.'
By Haaretz Service Tags: Benjamin Netanyahu Hamas Israel news FatahKuwait's foreign minister lashed out at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling the Israeli leader "stupid" and "insane," the Palestinian news agency Ma'an reported on Sunday.
Mohammed al-Sabah said the policies of "Israel's stupid and insane prime minister" had jeopardized the peace process, but that the Kuwaiti government remained committed to an Arab peace plan put forward by Saudi Arabia and would keep working to heal a split between the major Palestinian factions, Fatah and Hamas.
Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and exiled Hamas chief Khaled Meshal were set to meet in the next 10 days, al-Sabah said.
"Abbas and Meshal will aim at completing the reconciliation proposal backed by Egypt," Ma'an reported him as saying, quoting the Kuwaiti press.
All attempts to broker a compromise between the warring blocs have failed since Hamas seized control of the Gaza strip during bloody clashes with Abbas' security forces in mid-2007.
But Meshal hinted on Sunday that the rivals could now be close to a deal, saying that reconciliation talks were in the "final stages," Ma'an reported.

He might be stupid. Russia, Italy and Israel are struggling with madness epidemics.
of the poor. fatah and hamas are similar in nature. Hamas has foreign and religious leanings, jihad war and links with al quaeda,muslim brotherhood and Iran. The PA and Fatah has a more political leaning and has its roots in nazism from Mufti Husseni and arafat. They both seek destruction of non Islamic peoples especiall Israel in the Me and a lack of tolerance of the christian and non islamic world. Their charters both are evil
Coming from the great looser from Kuwait who ran like cowards when Sadam invaded them, is not funny. This person or camel jockey probably was under the influence of whiskey he had in Paris a couple days ago.
It is only when the Arab ministers say nice things about you that you have to worry about what you are doing.
The thought process, if it can be called that, of people like Carl,is truly an enigma within a puzzle. Didn't Arab officials and politicians hurl insults at Israelis when George Bush was president, Bill Clinton, George the elder.? Of course they did. The Kuwaiti FM may or may not be right about BN but had he said the same things about Carl he would have been spot on.
Netanyahu is not insane and he is not stupid. Maybe Mohammed as Sabah made a comon mistake he probably meant "his policies are stupid and insane" or "his stupid policies drive me insane". Whether true or not a large minority of Israeli and of the people in the world would probably agree.
Adolescent Hamas flesh gleefully rubbing itself against Fatah flesh in Mecca without G-d in between to smooth things out by humbling the wedded parties and making them teachable resulted in the domestic violence we saw in Gaza with the Fatah bride quickly being literally kicked out of her house and the stupid, lonely Hamas groom, assuming a more macho stance due to his pent up terrorist testosterone, foolishly firing off his manhood in all directions in frustration. To counter the resultant cold showers now storming around Gaza some hot Meshal air is being blown in from Damascus, assuming again foolishly without G-d, that a counseling session in Cairo with the ghosts of Pharaohs past in attendance is just what the doctor in Tehran ordered.
country. I do not see Kuwait inviting these folks back to their homes, jobs and friends.
What is insane is that Israel was attacked during the first Gulf War by Irak and refrained to respond so that Koweit could survive and that their FM could utter such stupid and insane comments! Mr FM:you should give a pedicure to Nethanyahu as a thank you gesture that your country is still around!!!!
He would be right if Israel actually wanted peace -- but since she doesn't, Netanyahu's actions make complete sense. The idea is to avoid peace, not bring it on.
People like that will make the news for all their rantings only because they have oil under their ground. Once it runs out, or the world has found alternatives, we'll see who's really "stupid" and whether anyone cares about their silly statements.
Actually it becomes apparent that the Kuwaiti FM and ours went to the same school for diplomats. As regard our PM, stupid? No, not so you'd notice in the company of other politicians from most other countries. Insane? Probably not. Even without insanity, Israeli politicians find ways of mucking up the country.
Kuwaiti's insult very easily,that's why they feel insulted very easily
Kuwait is a wonderful place to live , do come and visit this paradise.I is a better country than some so called DEMOCRATIC STATE,where there are citzens of FIRSTY CLASS, and SECOND CLASS citizens, who are not allowed to live wherever they wish, because they are not CHOOSEN PEOPLE.
Not the two adjectives I'd use, but they will do for now.
It's the jpb of the forign minister to make nice to the other countries. Your guy everybody hates. Bar Rafaeli could do a better job.
You're strutting your usual hubristic stuff, eh? Why debate someone who props up illegality in settlements and occupation under the guise of "security?' Your side will give specious arguments until backed into a corner, then you play the "god gave it to us," argument, about which delusion, then, there is no answer. Jews world wide know Israel has become dangerous for them, especially in countries, like the US, which has given them security and freedom. As their fear turns against you, perhaps you will become a bit more humble. I am not holding my breath.
To think I felt sorry for Kuwait when Iraq invaded. Don't they understand what Hamas wants to do with Kuwait?
What about the changing names of Arab cities and streets against the will of its inhabitance in Palestine, remember Akko last year oops
Netanyahu is not stupid nor is he insane. He is greedy and arrogant. If we are going to label people, it's important to get the right labels.
Once Danny and Avigdor have set the tone for Mideast diplomacy, this is what you get..... you reap what you sow
Or may be goyim. Judaism and Christianity can't meet for obvious reason but they can unite against the one who is seated on the black horse.
...tell us what you really think.
KUWAIT...Israel spent treasure bombing Iraq's developing nuclear facilities or KUWAIT would be a radioactive sand pile.Our "stupid and insane" leaders plan to spend our treasure once again to prevent Iran from turning Israel and KUWAIT into a radioactive sand pile.Keep opening your mouth and eradicate all doubts about who is "stupid and insane".
If Avigdor Lieberman said it would you all be nodding in agreement?
how do jews/christians deal with our infidel status ?
hamas and abbas are not ?? he obviously wroyte the book ? " how to win friends and influence people "
calling him "stupid" and "insane" is not exactly proof of one's intelligence or mental stability. I would expect more solid criticism from such an august personality as the Kuwaiti FM.
and it is the truth---so need for we leftists to complain. But we do concur with the Suadi FM,S comments re the "ISRAELI" Government. Are you not aware that 20% of "ISRAELIS" are not Jews. But you do have a point---as it seems as if only Israeli Jews seem to be in positions of power. maybe that is where your problem lies.
Would love to see the Kuwaiti FM try to debate Bibi. We would then see who's stupid.
As if this weren't funny enough, how about THIS gem from our erstwhile neighbors: 15:14 Islamic Solidarity Games canceled due to Iran-Saudi dispute on name of gulf (AP)
Finally a foreign minister who is more stupid and insolent than our deputy foreign minister. They should actually get along quite well
Or is such talk OK when directed by diplomats against Jews?
Well I guess we can see what a success Obama's policy of throwing Israel under the bus and sucking up to the Arabs is,
Where was the honourable FM when Sadamm Hussein invaded Kuwait? How old was he at the time?I thank the good LORD the FM survived those Sadamm autrocities and now has the audacity to insult the Prime Minister of the only democracy in the Middle East.Or did he do a runner to Saudi Arabia when the butcher of Baghdad sent in his men.
...and you will see the bloody consequences. But they, the Muslems can call you whatever they like without physical or even verbal impunity.That`s what we call Muslem unilaterality.
Netanyahu's delaying tactics are pushing the Palestinian's of the West Bank further towards Hamas and consequently to Gaza. Netanyahu is losing a golden opportunity to work with Abbas, but it seems he actually does not wish to and for that matter accept a peace based on two nations. Then again, I never expected much from Netanyahu because of his first inneffective stint as PM. 'There's another fine mess we've got in to.'
Maybe Israel should turn into a medieval kingdom like Kuweit, a country that belongs to one family.
and itmeans our PM he is just the man for the job and I hope he gets tougher still.
As long as they are committed to peace right?
