U.S. President calls Abbas days after meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu to voice support for Palestinian leadership.

U.S. President Barack Obama phoned Mahmoud Abbas on Friday to brief the Palestinian president on the American leader's recent meeting with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and voice his strong support for Abbas' leadership and commitment to peace.

Obama promised Abbas that he would exert every effort to ensure the establishment of an independent Palestinian state living side by side in peace and security with Israel.

I believe him. I usually don’t, but I believe him in this case.

Hmm there’s those words again. Peace and security.

“For when they shall say, peace and security; then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as the pains upon her that is with child, and they shall not escape.”

Why is our president kissing this terrorist ass? Unbelievable. Clinton’s most frequent visitor to the White House was Yassir Arafat and now Obama is promising to make every effort? Why? It should be the other way around! Abbas should be calling the US President and saying he will make every effort. This policy is absurd. Bush had the right policy - if the Palestinians want peace and a state, all they have to do is be peaceful.

Really, if Abbas is really committed to peace with Israel, then he should be saying thank you for the logistical help, for the military training, for the guns that enable him to unify the factions... and then using his power to make peace. They have been talking about it for almost 20 years now and it’s going nowhere. Obama should be kicking his ass not kissing it. Unbelievable.

If they get their own country, may I suggest Mr. Obama, that they will need a leader?

I’m guessing “make every effort” ranks even a bit behind “will not rest”; which puts this pretty low on the Obama priority/commitment list....

Exactly what I was thinking.

I pray that God deals with Obama in a very public and humiliating way for the trouble he is causing Israel.

But he won’t let Arizona defends its own borders.

The real question Obama has is “How many gold courses are in Palestine?”

>>And, asking for the wrath of God on this nation.

Obama is God’s wrath on this nation. We abandoned God for possessions. We abandoned the work ethic and discipline for welfare and easy credit. US Jews abandoned Israel for Marxism. So we elected an empty suit with empty promises and a few catchy slogans to lead us in a very dangerous time. It will get a lot worse before it gets better, so we all better pray for forgiveness and help getting back on the right path. If we do that, the country will follow. If we don’t...well...how long can you tread water? (Thanks Bill Cosby for that one!)

Hussein Obama will also make every effort to connect Gaza and the W. Bank in the process, effectively cutting Israel in two. ...and to arm this new terrorist state. ...and to boot Jews out of Jerusalem. ...and to disarm Israelis of their nukes.

Again, if the Arabs and Muslims of the Middle East had wanted peace and a Palestinian state, THEY would have created one a long time ago............but yeah, some of us have long known the true agenda, hence why they insist such a state be created from Israeli land....seems to fit with their overall agenda to remove the state of Israel....piece by piece. =.=

Wouldn’t it help Israel if the Palestinians had their own state?
