Senate leader lectures Obama on Israeli-Arab conflict
Israel Today ^ | 6/21/09 | staff

US Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) sent a letter to President Barack Obama last week criticizing the latter for his administration's heavy pressure on Israel to be the facilitator of the Middle East peace process.

Reid noted that Israel has already met many of its peace obligations, while the Palestinians after 15 years have not fulfilled even their most basic commitments, namely to recognize the Jewish state's right to exist and eliminate the threat of anti-Israel Palestinian terrorism.

Apparently Reid has some big time Jewish donors who are actually pro Israel!

Although I can't get too excited about this, it is encouraging, to know that Reid is not nearly as dumb as he looks and acts, unless, of course, a high-schooler with a firmer grasp of the obvious wrote that letter for him.

All evidence of rational intelligence in DC is welcome.

As for the assertion that the state of Israel is the direct result of the holocaust, it should be noted that the Balfour declaration predated the holocaust by at least a decade, and the discussion leading up to the declaration had been ongoing for at least 40 years...

And as a universal reminder, the Mandate of Palestine (the region, no such country exists) was to be devided equally between muslim and Jew. Only in a truly deranged mind is 93%-7% anywhere near equitable.

Bibi has been there before with Clinton. He knows how to deal with American Liberals. I expect him to effectively manipulate public perceptions of the Obama administration, rather than the reverse.
