Clare Short's imagination
You have to hand it to Clare Short; she is, at least, creative. She's managed to find a whole new front on which to attack Israel. The country is, it seems, responsible for the forthcoming end of the human race:
Ms. Short charged the Jewish state with the ultimate crime: Israel "undermines the international community's reaction to global warming." According to Ms. Short, the Middle East conflict distracts the world from the real problem: man-made climate change. If extreme weather will lead to the "end of the human race," as Ms. Short warned it could, add this to the list of the crimes of Israel.
