Read the first two graphs of the latest Associated Press dispatch by Julie Pace and Matthew Lee from Obama’s trip to Israel:
President Barack Obama delivered an impassioned appeal Thursday for Israel to recognize that compromise will be necessary to achieve lasting security and to take steps to reverse an “undertow” of international isolation that is worsened by its failure to make peace with the Palestinians. Militants again underscored Israel’s vulnerability by firing rockets into a southern border town.
Obama declared anew that Israeli expansion of housing settlements in disputed territory only hinders chances for fruitful negotiations with the Palestinians, but he did not say as he has in the past that they must be halted.
First of all, the militants did hardly anything of significance, but ignore that for the moment. Also, leave aside the tedious pieties about the necessity of compromise. When was it not necessary? The real bombshell is in the second paragraph, not in the first where it belonged. Obama did not say settlement construction must cease.
I am privy to absolutely no inside information on this, but that is a rather amazing omission, considering it comes from Barack Obama. Has he learned from his own recent history when Israel stopped such construction for nine months in the hopes the Palestinians would negotiate — and they didn’t?
Maybe he is beginning to understand what many of us long realized — that the Palestinians do not want a two-state solution. If they did, they would have had a state of their own years ago. The parameters of a compromise have been known literally for decades, down to the street.
Paradoxically, anyone who truly wants a two-state solution would turn their backs on the Palestinians until they actually do something about it. Tough love. Who knows if they would understand it, but nothing else has worked.

And how nice of Feckless Won to 'allow' Israel to defend itself against all enemies. As if it even needed to be said! But I suppose Feckless Won felt like he'd just granted Israel a right that had not before existed. What a putz!

Do these two mental midgets understand what they just said in the space of less than two sentences?
Are they that completely oblivious to their incredible stupidity?
How old are they? 12?
No sentient adult could write these sentences back to back...much less need to COLLABORATE on writing this drivel.
Leftist anti-Semites are so blissfully ignorant and unaware of themselves. It's staggering.

"In a gesture partly secured by President Obama, Israel’s prime minister told his Turkish counterpart that he regretted a 2010 raid on a ship that killed nine people, officials said. "

The Perfidy of Albion: Britain's Secret Re-Assessment of the Balfour Declaration
John Bernard Quigley
Ohio State University (OSU) - Michael E. Moritz College of Law
July 29, 2010
Ohio State Public Law Working Paper No. 128
Abstract:
The issuance by the Government of Great Britain of the Balfour Declaration in 1917 had great consequences for the subsequent history of Palestine and the Middle East. As it was administering Palestine and implementing the Balfour Declaration in the 1920s, the British Government reported to the League of Nations that it could successfully achieve the Declaration's aim, namely, the promotion of a Jewish national home in Palestine, while at the same time respecting the rights of the...

Abstract:
The issuance by the Government of Great Britain of the Balfour Declaration in 1917 had great consequences for the subsequent history of Palestine and the Middle East. As it was administering Palestine and implementing the Balfour Declaration in the 1920s, the British Government reported to the League of Nations that it could successfully achieve the Declaration's aim, namely, the promotion of a Jewish national home in Palestine, while at the same time respecting the rights of the existing (predominantly Arab) population. In its own internal discussion of Palestine, however, the British Government concluded that these two goals were incompatible, and that serious conflict was inevitable. It decided nonetheless, for reasons relating to its own geostrategic interests, to continue to administer Palestine and to implement the Balfour Declaration, and to continue to tell the League of Nations that it could do so successfully.

Giving up the entire Jerusalem, they will claim Tel Aviv. Giving up Tel Aviv, they will claim Haifa and Ashkelon. The Koran teaches the only good Jew is a dead Jew and the day of resurrection will never come unless all Jews are dead. There is no "peace" and never will be, only a cycle of hudna and taqiyyah.

That's like saying WW I trenches were proof of segregation or saying the Baltimore Ravens were bigoted against the Oakland Raiders by notion of the sheer fact of the Raider's failure.
Black folks go to prison and that's not an expression of a failure of the value system of black culture, it's an expression of the failure of white culture, of which, by the way, there is none. Unless you can point me to a popular white culture mainstream website or the white Congressional Congress.

It is not Israel's job to compromise. Why? Did they invade the West Bank in '67 in a surprise attack of naked aggression or were there tank brigades assembled there with hysterical threats about the extinction of Israel? What were Egyptian tanks doing in the West Bank?
Well, they're not there now and effectively asking Israel to surrender because they are deadlocked with no hope of victory is a failure of the intellect of staggering proportions.
Hey, West Bank. Say "I surrender" and see what happens. You've tried everything else for 60 years - try that one. Cuz I'm telling you right now, your dreams of return or having some strength to negotiate from are nonsensical. Keep what you have now or risk losing more each day.
Obama, talk to your people, cuz they invented the light bulb, look like your son, also dote on wearing jewelry with Muslim inscriptions, listen to Jew-haters like you did Rev. Wright and share your anti-colonialist views. That's because they're on the losing end now. They had no problem with colonialism when they raped the entire Mediterranean littoral. (show less)
"They had no problem with colonialism when they raped the entire Mediterranean littoral....."
Thanks for mentioning that apparently taboo subject "colonialism". It gives me another opportunity to mention the apparently media-ignored "Sykes-Picot Agreement" and also the arrant duplicity of perfidious Albion in the duplicity of their "Balfour Declaration".
Now....add the painfully laughable ingredient of this nouveau arriviste Obama flashing his toothy-grinning change-of-heart inside Israel.
Politics have seldom before been so disgusting.

In Muslim culture, under no pressure or danger, you'll not see such a thing in favor of Jews. This is a done argument. Good night, West Bank. Good luck with getting Israel to surrender. It's probably right around the corner.
