The former NYC mayor's resolutions for the coming year
Ed Koch, the former mayor of New York — and about the most delightful and knowledgeable and interesting politician around — has made his New Year’s resolutions. Wanna hear a few of them?
“I will avoid France as a place to vacation. France leads those countries in the Security Council that are the enemies of Israel. [Same goes for Mexico — says Koch.]
“I will not support National Public Radio in any way. NPR’s reporters and management delight in unfairly attacking Israel.
“I will not watch ABC’s World News Tonight anchored by Peter Jennings. For many years, Jennings has specialized in vicious and unfair portrayals of Israel intended to injure the Jewish state and lionize Palestinians. Also, the BBC News is horrifically anti-Israel, and I will shun it completely.
“Susan Sontag will occupy the Ninth Circle of Hell for her outrageous assaults on Israel. I will no longer read her works.”
How you like them apples?
