“Palestinian Authority prime minister Salam Fayyad recently gave a ringing endorsement to Stanley Fischer for the job of International Monetary Fund chief. Fischer, who runs the Bank of Israel, is a former colleague of Fayyad’s at the IMF where the pair spent two decades ruining the economies of various developing countries together.

Since the PA isn’t actually a state, Fayyad can’t vote for his old friend but that didn’t stop him from telling the press that Fischer is asuperb human being‘. Before he was a superb human being or even an Israeli, Fischer was colonialist living in Zambia. But the IMF isn’t the only international organization whose leadership Fayyad has an opinion on.

He recently told a French newspaper that Ariel Sharon, another old friend, would have been the perfect man to head NATO. “Although Israel isn’t part of NATO, it should be because I think Arik’s qualities as a military man are unparalleled. He’s also engaging and charming, and before his stroke used to always compliment me on my suits.””

Fayyad, a U.S.-trained economist and former senior IMF official, told the Associated Press on Sunday that he has known Fischer for two decades, since the two worked together at the IMF.

A Zambia native and internationally respected economist, Fischer has headed the Bank of Israel since 2005. He announced his candidacy for the top IMF job on Saturday.

Since the PA isn’t actually a state, Fayyad can’t vote for his old friend but that didn’t stop him from telling the press that Fischer is a ‘superb human being’. Before he was a superb human being or even an Israeli, Fischer was colonialist living in Zambia.

But the IMF isn’t the only international organization whose leadership Fayyad has an opinion on. He recently told a French newspaper that Ariel Sharon, another old friend, would have been the perfect man to head NATO. “Although Israel isn’t part of NATO, it should be because I think Arik’s qualities as a military man are unparalleled. He’s also engaging and charming, and before his stroke used to always compliment me on my suits.”

Fayyad had an opinion on the UN’s top job as well: “We all saw how George Bush ran over the UN in the lead up to the Iraq War”. It’s therefore important that any UN Secretary General be able to control the US administration. Obviously, the only man for that job is Netenyahu.”

When asked to comment on Fayyad’s statements, Netenyahu spokeman Mark Regev managed not to lie for once. “Fayyad is a good man who does what we ask him to and does it well. From time to time he just gets a bit too eager to please.”

And even if his public remarks make many uncomfortable, Salam Fayyad will ensure that he maintains excellent relations with all his Israeli friends. “I only got 2% of the vote in the last elections,” he explained. “Without these guys I’d never become prime minister.”
