waste of time...you can’t negotiate with terrorists or extremists. Israel has already bent over backwards in attempts to live in peace. Time to nuke Iran and use strength...maybe they will understand the consequences

I guess part of the plan is to cut the Palis off at the pass by defining a less harmful Peace before they do. Also, we can assume the current administration is urging Israel to give in.

In today's WSJ article, "Israel Considers Military 'Upgrade,'" I found the following hint of Obama's approach to Israel despite the current Mideast instability:

"With the Obama Administration pressing Israel and the Palestinians to resume talks that broke off in September, Mr. Barak said Israel could not seek pledges of additional military aid without making a "daring" peace offer.

Israeli officials are debating elements of a peace initiative, he said, and PM Netanyahu is expected to announce one soon."
