4. Other conspiracy theorists will blame the US saying the FBI wanted to taint the jury pool in the Boston bombing case.

5. More European countries will officially recognize a Palestinian State, still thinking this insulates them.

7. Sweets will be handed out in the streets of Gaza.

8. Someone in Ramallah will make a pile of money selling “Don’t Mess With Mo” tee shirts in English and Arabic, and someone in Beirut will counterfeit them.

9. New York Police will send units to protect La Grenouille.

10. The Jews will get the overall blame.
