Vaccine scene: PA vents spleen

The COVID-hit Palestinian Authority backs out of a deal to accept extra vaccines from Israel as their constituents attack them over “normalization” (“Palestinians renege on deal with Israel to receive 1.4 m. COVID vaccines,”

June 20). Meanwhile, Binyamin Netanyahu and the shambling corpse of the Likud explicitly vow to vote against the government even on legislation they nominally support in order to embarrass and topple them (“Netanyahu, Gantz clash over Palestinian, Arab family reunification,” June 17).

I don’t know which of the two parties would win in a cut-off-your-nose-to-spite-your-face contest, but I know who loses: sane and rational people who read about this stuff happening and then want to barf in their breakfast cereal.
