The Obama Administration has signalled a tougher approach towards Israel ahead of fresh talks on the Middle East peace process by insisting it must endorse the creation of an independent Palestinian state.
“Israel has to work toward a two-state solution,” declared Vice-President Joe Biden today in a speech to the annual conference of a powerful pro-Israel lobby group in Washington.
“You’re not going to like my saying this,” he warned the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (Aipac) before adding that the Jewish state should not build any more settlements on Palestinian territory, and should “dismantle existing outposts and allow Palestinians freedom of movement”.
President Obama later held a White House meeting with Shimon Peres, his Israeli counterpart, who holds a largely ceremonial position. But the US Administration’s message appeared to be addressed to the new right-wing Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, who is due to visit the White House on May 18.
Mr Netanyahu has dismayed American, Arab and European officials by pointedly refusing to back Palestinian statehood since taking office on March 31. In his own speech to Aipac, sent via satellite link, he said: “We are prepared to resume peace negotiations without any delay and without any preconditions — the sooner the better.” Saeb Erekat, the senior Palestinian negotiator, however, criticised Mr Netanyahu’s speech for its “vagueness” on core issues such as the status of Jerusalem and refugees, as well as its failure to commit to a two-state solution.
Aipac has demonstrated that it — and Israel — still exercise considerable muscle in Washington by persuading the US Justice Department last week to abandon the prosecution of two former employees on charges that they spied on America for Israel.

I really wish we had Carter back...lol
Whether your Israel or Chrysler investors, Zero follows the same gameplan: Strong-arm mob tactics.
Yes! Come on Buttcrack, give it to Israel. Frame the issue that it’s all Israel’s fault and that the Arabs have done nothing wrong just like the enlighted euroPEONSs have done for decades. You have nothing to worry about AMerican Jews as they will never abandon you. They are slaves to socialism and many hate Israel anyways.
Like Pharoah of old, his proclamations are subject to “The Law of Unintended Consequences”. The real birthplace of “Damien” may yet become known..
No one in the White House has watched a minute of Palestinian television.
Isn’t that the same US policy established by Bush?
Oboma was born and raised a Muslim. DUH! He hates Jews and Christians. Just ask Reverend Write, his spiritual mentor.
The next thing we know Oboma will be carving three numbers into their foreheads.
Israel needs to work on a two state solution.
Not Jordan, Syria, Egypt. Just Israel.
I think Israel should work on a 4327 state solution. The two dozen or so militant / Arab / African / Muslim states already hostile to Israel and everything western are not enough. Israel should slice itself up into at least 4327 new hostile states. Then the Middle East would be just one super-dee-dooperdee happy fun-loving place.
All the Jews that ran out and voted for Obama, YOUR chickens are coming home to roost. And, we told you so.
The black Jimmy Carter
Get your figures straight, please. 22% OF US had the brains and sense to vote AGAINST POTUS. I, admit, I did NOT vote FOR McPain, I voted against HIM. Sadly, I have already told more than one fellow Jew to “shut the hell up. this is what YOU voted for.” No reply forthcoming.
There are two countries I mourn for.
and—If he casts his Rod forth and it becomes a serpent toward Israel, he too will be devoured by Israels protector.
Same kind of disaster, different date.
Ah, but 78% of Jews DID VOTE for the MUSLIM......good bye Israel.
"Woe to any nation that goes against my people Israel."
Bill Clinton cast his rod all over the place for 8 straight years and nothing happened to him.
Bowing to the King Of Saudi Arabia - was no coincidence...
He was paying homage to the protector of the Islamic holy sites...
I find it horrifying that so many American’s have been taken in by this black racist anti America and anti Constitution lying sonuvabitch....
Vast majority of Jews in America did vote for Buttcrack. I know Jews who hate Israel because they believe Israel is the problem and not the death seeking anti-semitic nazi loving islamo fascists. the 22% That didn’t vote for Obama is nice and all but it’s scary that so many Jews are beholden to destructive Democrats and so closed minded that they dare not even want to associate with anyone who is a Republican.
“You’re not going to like my saying this,”
But since 79% of you voted for me, I’m so confident of your being so stupid that you’d elect a Muslim that I’ll take that number going to 70% as I support the countries that wish to see you annihilated. Now make a contribution to the DNC like you can’t help doing so I can finance my pals before they attack you again.
I was one of the 22%, mainly because Obama scared the heck out of me...I hate it when I am right...
Amen..
“Bill Clinton cast his rod all over the place for 8 straight years and nothing happened to him”
Sometimes the Lord just lets you continue as is. Looking ar Hillary every morning must be more than enough punishment.
Well, Israel?...
You can lend your support and do your Christmas shopping at the same time!

Oh, what a relief. The headline writers want to make sure their readers don't think it's George Obama making foreign policy.
There is one true Middle East Peace Deal: ONE ISRAEL!!!!!!!
NO Excuses!!!!!!!!
“(Hilary)warned Israel that it risks losing Arab support for combating threats from Iran if it rejects peace negotiations with the Palestinians”.
Israel can kick Iran’s @$$ anytime, anywhere on its own.
Prove: The year was 1967....
SA and Egypt are as afraid of Iran as Israel is. As for the Palis, Neither country will take them, even though they’re muslim. Jordan and Syria actually expelled them.
Hillary is talking out of her pantsuit.
I’m sure Bibi laughed and said kiss it Kenyan Commie bastard.
Yep, I hear ya Abe. I’ve tried figuring out why Jews would be so loyal to a party that will sell Israel out in a heartbeat. Beyond one guy telling “it’s a tribal thing” cannot get a Jew to explain it to me.
I mean, even if you take Israel out of it, the Marxist leaders of the Demrat Party want to marginalize and ultimately bury any religion but Marxism. That includes the Jewish religion.

LOL - the undocumented Kenyan is messing with the Apple of the Eye of the God of Israel.
Alluh made him do it!!
On the contrary, O is friends with Edward Said, Pali who loves to throw rocks at Israeli soldiers.
They know exactly what they’re going after. The Saudis promoted Annapolis, Condi pushed and now Obama bows.
Wouldn’t matter if they did. They don’t care. Obama will try to screw Netanyahu just like Clinton did.
I’m afraid you’re both right.
FUBO
