UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - U.S. President Barack Obama said on Wednesday that too many Israelis were ready to abandon a bid for peace in the region and, in a departure from his prepared remarks, added that this was something Israelis should think about.

"The violence engulfing the region today has made too many Israelis ready to abandon the hard work of peace," Obama told the United Nations General Assembly during a 38-minute speech addressing many of the world's problems.
Then, departing from printed remarks made available to reporters beforehand, Obama added: "And that’s something worthy of reflection within Israel."
"Because let’s be clear: the status quo in the West Bank and Gaza is not sustainable. We cannot afford to turn away from this effort – not when rockets are fired at innocent Israelis, or the lives of so many Palestinian children are taken from us in Gaza," Obama said, speaking a week before he is due to host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House.
His comments followed a seven-week Gaza war between Israel and the Palestinian militant group Hamas that ended in late August with an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire.

when one side won’t recognize the others’ right to exist and doesn’t even axkowledge your country on a map,
how you gonna have lasting peace with them?
Yep, the JOOOOOS are the problem... and the blue-eyed devils in Ferguson - - white cops...
Obama and Holder have their enemies’ lists... and it’s weird.
47% of Americans don’t feel safe - the number seems small...
“Coward” is relative with respect to what Obama really supports.
There are, however, a lot of odd things surrounding Obama.
Of that, I absolutely agree. I was listening to an interview with Holocaust survivor Anita Dittman.
She said that when she first heard the "mechanical" voice of Obama addressing a crowd, and saw the worshiping reaction, she felt a pit within her stomach that she had not felt since the late 1930s, when Hitler had risen to power.
I believe Obama has been protected by Satan and demonic forces. He is playing a role: that to destroy the West, destroy Christianity, destroy Israel, and bring about the rise of the Islamic Caliphate.
On one front he will not succeed: Israel will NOT be destroyed.
Yes he is.
I read a thread that was pulled, due to source being off limits for posting, that Obama stormed out of meeting with Pentagon leaders when they started discussing how the ISIS leadership needed to be hit.
Obama is the absolute worst thing to ever happen to America....and yes...he’s a muzzie.
Scripture says that the whole world will abandon Israel....in the last days....
Prophecy is coming to light right before our eyes....
Come quickly Lord Jesus!!!
Right on, Sarah babes.
The context of this Obama remark is particularly troubling, since the rest of the speech had absolutely nothing to do with Israel, IIRC. And to add to the insult, it was done on the Jewish New Year. It just demonstrates even further that he is an Israel hater and anti-Semite, as so many leftist idiots are.
Did Obama even issue a Rosh Hashanah statement..LOL look at that, I made a funny..but its something usually all Presidents do, Yom Kipper included..but knowing what an Anti Jew prick Obama is I doubt he said anything

Tooo many Palis never even wanted it.
Criticizes Israel but praises a demonic death cult leader in the same speech. Clear for all the world to see what his intentions are yet?
“...President Barack Obama favorably quoted and praised on Wednesday in his speech before the United Nations a controversial Muslim cleric whose organization has reportedly endorsed the terror group Hamas and supported a fatwa condoning the murder of U.S. soldiers in Iraq...”
“...This is not the first time that the Obama administration has extoled Bin Bayyah, who also has served as the vice president of a Muslim scholars group founded by a radical Muslim Brotherhood leader who has called “for the death of Jews and Americans,” according to Fox News and other reports.”...”

“Obama Praises Muslim Cleric Who Backed Fatwa on Killing of U.S. Soldiers”
“Wait! Come back! We must first negotiate!”
From Braveheart, right before blue-faced freedom speech.
There is no chance for peace in the region so how can Israel be abandoning anything?
