This article is fundamentally misleading. It's designed either to make it appear as though Obama’s stupendous leadership has resulted in a major concession, or it's written by another 20 year old ‘journalist’ who doesn't know what he's talking about. The reality is that Israel has, in principle, accepted the idea of a two-state solution from it's very inception - it's the Arabs that have always opposed it.

You're entirely correct tat this is a bunch of nothing. But no, the journalist could well be older than 20. Simply has an agenda.

That would Be Bibi’s first mistake — but it won’t be the last or the biggest.

RELAXXXXX!!

Methinks this might be a Rope-a-Dope to keep the profile off key while the Israelis prepare.

I would suspect he would say he would support a two state solution if the Palestianians met certain conditions (which they will never meet anyway).

I don’t see where it says he’s caved in... I hear a lot of pressure talk here, but he hasn’t said a word...

There has been much hope and anticipate for Netanyahu’s return to power for many many years. He better not turn around and sell out Israel again.

I think God just keeps things in balance.

He changes times and seasons; he sets up kings and deposes them. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning. He reveals deep and hidden things; he knows what lies in darkness, and light dwells with him. Daniel 2:21-22

I personally believe that Obama was a wake up call sent from God to the United States (and the rest of the world) and he placed Neteanyahu in power to make sure we only teter on the brink without falling into the abyss.

said he may yield. What does THAT mean except caving? That’s what I think it means. Hope I’m wrong. Truly.

I hope you are right. I really truly do. I have respected Bibi for years and love to hear him speak. I just cannot believe that he would “yield.”

Saying “Thats’s a good idea zer0” & doing something to decrease security for a conservative is like Howard Stern saying He would like to be a good Catholic

Israel is mentioned more than 700 times in the Torah.

Israel is mentioned -ZERO- times in the Koran.

Palestine is mentioned -ZERO- times in both the Torah and Koran.

There was a Jewish presence in Israel more than 1,600 years before Mohammad even appeared on the scene.

Believe me, regardless of what Obama says, every square inch of Israel soil is infinitely more important to the Jews than it is to the Muslims in the region. Important enough to kill and die for, as they have been doing for a VERY long time.

Surely Netanyahu is NOT gullible enough to think that PEACE will suddenly break out if he starts giving dirt to the Palestinians ... as well as all-out CIVIL WAR from his own people ...

The headline was enough for me. If there is more to it and it is hype so be it. I hope you are right.

I'll have to hear it for myself. 2 state solution IF...
That will be the key. His conditions will most likely never be acceptable to the arabs. He will never give up or divide Jerusalem, which is one of their main prerequisites.

there s absolutely nothing Obama can do to punish Israel for not bending to his Muslim tune. NOTHING.

Surely Bibi knows that. Surely he has reached out to his many, many friends in Congress to hear their support and be steeled from it.

God help them if Bibi folds like a cheap camera. I cvan only imagine what evil this will embolden Hussein to pursue.
