Allyn Fisher-Ilan, the accidental comedien

In a story about imminent national primaries in Israel, Reuters correspondent Allyn Fisher-Ilan suggests Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu favors early elections to "strengthen his hand with Washington":
Many Israelis worry that Obama, in a second term, may exert greater pressure on Israel to yield land for peace with the Palestinians, which could upset Netanyahu's clout in his pro-settler party and its core conservative electorate.
Er, no Allyn.  Many Israelis worry that Obama, in a second term, may exert greater pressure on Israel to yield land for no peace with the Palestinians.

What an unmitigated dingbat.
