I wonder how long before Obama threatens to cut off cash to Israel. That’s the Chicago way, ya know!
Israeli leaders know they have to stand firm for the next 3 1/2 years. There will be someone else in the White House then.
I don’t want to hear “threats”. I want him to PROMISE to cut off cash, and Abbas to promise to walk out of piece negotiations.
Bibi, tell little 0bie to piss off.
The TOTUS-reading fuhrer wants to finish what the fuhrer in the 1930s started.
Jump off a short pier, Obama I believe is the message.
Israel to Obama: STFU - and show us your birth certificate fool!
From One Jerusalem:
Our friend Rick Richman does a superb job responding to Obama:
The following would be my summary of the progress over the past eight years —
After the Palestinians rejected an offer of a state at Camp David in 2000, rejected the Clinton Parameters in 2001, and conducted a terror war against Israeli civilians from September 2000-2002, Israel nevertheless agreed in 2003 to the “Performance-Based Roadmap” for the creation of a Palestinian state, despite reservations about the manner in which that plan would actually be implemented.
In 2003 and thereafter, Israel ceased all settlement activity — as it understood that Phase I Roadmap obligation (no new settlements; no building outside settlement boundaries; no financial incentives for Israelis to move to settlements) — and believed American officials agreed with its interpretation of that obligation.
In 2004, after the Palestinian Authority failed to meet its own Phase I Roadmap obligation (sustained efforts to dismantle terrorist groups and infrastructure), Israel nevertheless proposed to dismantle every existing settlement in Gaza (not just “outposts”), remove every Israeli soldier, and turn over the entire area to the Palestinian Authority — in exchange for a written American commitment to defensible borders and retention of the major settlement blocs necessary to insure them.
In 2005, after receiving the American commitment, Israel proceeded to carry out the Gaza disengagement, despite the political and social upheaval within Israel it caused, including the break-up of the ruling party and nationwide demonstrations, and - at State Department insistence - further dismantled four settlements (not just “outposts”) in the West Bank as well, to demonstrate the disengagement would be “Gaza First,” not “Gaza Last.”
In 2006, after the Palestinians elected their premier terrorist group to control their government, Israelis nevertheless re-elected Kadima on a platform of “convergence” (the new name for withdrawal from the West Bank), and would have carried it out but for the attacks by Hamas from Gaza and Hezbollah from Lebanon that caused two wars and finally convinced Israelis further withdrawals were insane.
In 2007, despite the Palestinian failure to carry out its Phase I dismantlement obligation, and its categorical rejection of Phase II (a state with provisional sovereignty before Phase III final status negotiations), Israel agreed to proceed immediately to final status negotiations once again under the “Annapolis Process.”
Throughout 2008, Israel negotiated with its “peace partner” under the accelerated process, and offered 100 percent of the West Bank (after land swaps) for a state, with concessions on other major issues, all of which were rejected.
During this eight-year period, the Palestinian concessions (aka reciprocal “progress”) can be enumerated more briefly: zero.

ZERO more for zero.

Washington must remember that Obama was not elected to rule over Israel. He was elected to spread the wealth around in the black community.
Consequently the Israeli’s will do as they please.
Shut up already Obama.
But Israel has a black community. Do the Ethiopians get some wealth, too? NO? Well, hey!
I can’t wait until someone publicly tells this government to “go ‘F’” themselves.
Pitiful.
How can any serious American politician even claim to believe that something like this has an impact on “peace” in the Middle East?
The Palestinians desire the annihilation of Israel, always have, and in the foreseeable future the Palestinians will continue to desire it, no matter what the Israelis do or don’t do.
Change will come in 2010.
Mossad should be able to find the proof that BHO was born in Kenya like his family says.
Unfortunately, the time for vetting Obama is long past. It doesn’t matter where he was born. It’s not going to make any difference to the media or the congress. He is the president and he will be president until 2012, at least.
Piece?? Huh???
And Israel MUST CONTINUE to say no to our thug, acting-president.
