Is anyone noticing how the MSM is trying to spin today's speech like Bibi made concessions to Obama? Bibi may as well have said, "when the arabs declare me king of the world, then we can have a palestinian state," because the little he asked of them they will not be able to comply with, as they never have before.

Exactly, CG. The headlines made it seem like Bibi complied with every last one of Obama's wishes. The MSM spins Obama diplomatic victories in their sleep. The chance the Arabs accept the deal that's on the table? Zero.

The Mideast will chew up B.O. and spit him out.

Both these pictures are from signs posted all over Israel

I argued with a friend of mine for nearly two hours over this. Bibi 's speech, without the ONE short paragraph appearing to endorse a PA state, was nearly perfect. But that short paragraph is what the world takes away, and it makes Netanyahu look like he caved and it allowed Obama to save face in the muslim world.

There are no "palestinians." How in the world does a polygenous population of junkyard dogs from every islamonation in or out of the region qualify as either a culture or a "people" deserving of their own state?

They DON'T. And Bibi NEVER should have even intimated that they did.

REALITY:
SPEECH
The Palestinian state
If we receive this guarantee regarding demilitirization and Israel’s security needs, and if the Palestinians recognize Israel as the State of the Jewish people, then we will be ready in a future peace agreement to reach a solution where a demilitarized Palestinian state exists alongside the Jewish state.

From THIS text, out of the ENTIRE speech, these headlines ignored everything else...exactly like I KNEW they would. Obama takes credit, like I KNEW he would.
Amd I am still pissed! He should never have said it. Period.
