Somebody pinch me. I guess this is good in a way, but I can’t help feeling like I’ve fallen through a wormhole into an alternate reality. Magic touch, bent spoons help on Israeli-Palestinian deal.
GENEVA (AFP) - Entertainer and psychic Uri Geller played an unusual role in breaking the ice during talks on a historic deal between the Palestinian Red Crescent and its Israeli counterpart by bending spoons.
Geller, who is head of the Friends of Magen David Adom, a key fundraising arm of the Israeli relief agency, proved the point at the signing ceremony in the Swiss city of Geneva by gently rubbing a few spoons out of shape.
“Uri Geller did not just help break the ice with the skills that have made him famous — a considerable number of bent spoons line the road that led to this agreement,” said Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey.
“He has also played a pivotal role in helping everyone focus on the main objective and overcoming differences over secondary details at key junctures,” she told the assembled dignitaries.
Because lord knows, the Europeans couldn’t possibly come to this realization on their own without the intervention of a phony psychic.
