WASHINGTON - US President Barack Obama, following talks with Jordan's King Abdullah, said on Tuesday it was "more vital than ever" to get Israel and the Palestinians back to negotiations toward a peace deal.

But Obama, starting a week of intense Middle East diplomacy against the backdrop of popular unrest sweeping the Arab world, offered no new proposals for breaking the Israeli-Palestinian impasse after the failure of US-led peace efforts.

The president plans to give a major policy speech on the Middle East on Thursday, meet Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu on Friday and address an influential pro-Israel lobbying group on Sunday.

There is no other way to interpret this other than an endorsement of Hamas, and another thuggish attack on Bibi just prior to the PM's US visit later this week.

Has there ever been a more anti-Israel Chief Executive?

Caroline Glick had this to say:

“It is hard to believe, but it appears that in the wake of the Palestinian unity deal that brings Hamas, the genocidal, al-Qaida-aligned, local franchise of the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood, into a partnership with Fatah, US President Barack Obama has decided to open a new round of pressure on Israel to give away its land and national rights to the Palestinians. It is hard to believe that this is the case. But apparently it is.”

You can pick up the phone and talk to Israel anytime you like.

And wherever 0 goes we can be assured he’s the dumbest one there - as Rush says only he says room.

So why did you fire George Mitchel?

It’s just the same old crap with Obama!

[La Enchiladita]

Shouldn’t Bibi reconsider visiting?
He was treated so shabbily last time.

Yes, if the palestinians are to gain concessions from Israel, some sort of talks are vital, BHO can't easily apply pressure outside of them. More importantly, in the absence of talks, it will be difficult for BHO to funnel funds to Hamas, Congresscritters of both parties are opposed to that.
