In a stark assessment of U.S.-Israel relations, Mr. Obama, speaking at a news conference, put a firm end to one of the top foreign-policy goals of his second term: a Middle East peace deal that includes the creation a Palestinian state.Most pro-Israel administration evah? Really? Is this what we can expect next? Now that the US has left Iraq to Islamic State and Afghanistan to the Taliban, they have the troops available.“What we can’t do is pretend that there’s a possibility for something that’s not there,” Mr. Obama said. “And we can’t continue to premise our public diplomacy based on something that everybody knows is not going to happen at least in the next several years.”
He added, “For the sake of our own credibility I think we have to be able to be honest about that.”

Messrs. Obama and Netanyahu are deeply divided over nuclear talks with Iran, an issue likely to resurface as the next deadline in negotiations arrives next week. The two leaders have long disliked each other, but Mr. Obama played down the notion that personal discord was motivating his policy decisions.
“The issue is not a matter of relations between leaders. The issue is a very clear substantive challenge: We believe that two states is the best path forward for Israel’s security, for Palestinian aspirations, and for regional stability,” Mr. Obama said. “And Prime Minister Netanyahu has a different approach.”
The president said the U.S. is considering alternatives to Israeli-Palestinian talks, including taking action at the United Nations that would afford Palestinians statehood.
I’m just an old man with heart. We need 2 million dollars to pull it off. Donald Trump could do this. We need power and force of millions but I’m just and old man who loves his country and knows we are doomed if we don’t call to action. We can’t stay home and watch fox and say we are doing something. Roger Aisles is a Karl Rove socialist. He gives us a forum and then I watch his anti Cruz people float out tonight with little snipes and that was followed by Karl (bush butt boy) Rove telling us how conservatives just loved the morman socialized medicine candidate and we would just suck it up with bush. THAT WILL NOT HAPPEN. Stand up. We need to stop winner take all primaries at all costs. That is how they get these horrible establishment puppets the nomination!! DO YOU NOT SEE THAT?
He is now losing it, he’s coming undone. That’s what malignant narcissists do, and it ain’t pretty.
If that were to happen, look for mutinies and insurrection on a large scale.

Where did that happen? In the US?
Um, Bible says “all nations” will stand against Israel.
United Nations.

Not a gun grab yet but clearly setting the stage
I love the line where he is concerned about his credibility!
What a freaking joke
oh yeah, I had heard something aobut that- but was assured in another thread that the US could not adopt it as it was an action by an outside entity on a sovereign nation- in other words it would be non binding even if a president signed onto it- there’s supposedly 100’s perhaps 1000’s of such bills laying on a desk somewhere that have no chance of going through- not even sure why the left keep trying to get them through
"and Death to America!"
Actually a Palestinian State based on the “100 fold solution” is not a bad idea.
Give them a state, Jerusalem excepted. If a missile with a 10 lb warhead is launched from that state, a 1000 lb munition will be dropped on the launch point. When they bring their wounded and dying to the border of Israel for treatment, as happened in Gaza, do not bring them to your hospitals and treat them with the best doctors in Israel as was done in the past. Politely say, “the border is closed.”
Repeat as necessary.
In very short order you will have a peaceful state on your border or an empty state very useful for settlement.
