One day ahead of his meeting Monday with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, U.S. President Barack Obama is urging the Israeli leader to make peace with the Palestinian Authority (PA).
Speaking to Bloomberg’s Jeffrey Goldberg in an interview published Sunday, Obama warned that time was running out to negotiate a peace agreement.
Obama further claimed that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas “is sincere about his willingness to recognize Israel and its right to exist.”
“We are coming to a point, though, over the next couple of months where the parties are going to have to make some decisions about how they move forward,” he said. “And my hope and expectation is that, despite the incredible political challenges, that both Prime Minister Netanyahu and Abbas are able to reach past their differences and arrive at a framework that can move us to peace.”
Pressing Netanyahu not to put off the hard decisions on peacemaking, Obama invoked the prime minister’s nickname and paraphrased the words of revered Jewish sage Hillel.
“When I have a conversation with Bibi, that’s the essence of my conversation,” he told Goldberg. “If not now, when? And if not you, Mr. Prime Minister, then who? How does this get resolved?”

We know that this is a pro-forma deal. Every administration has attempted (to one degree or another) to inveigle itself into the Israel/Palestinian conflict. Øbongo’s go at it has been notably ham-fisted.
So with the current tensions in the Ukraine occurring wouldn’t this be the perfect opportunity for Israel to tell Øbongo to piss off?
He’s on the wrong side of this one, big time. Pray for our country.
What an odious, condescending ba*tard we have for a president. To say something like this to another world leader.
That said, I bet Iran is going to make a move against Israel while everybody is distracted with the Ukrainian business. And Obama certainly won’t oppose it.
Iran “might” — but it’s asking to get glassed if it does.
Theological modesty has limited how far past presidents, which have all asserted some sort of visible Christian faith, have gone. Barack Obama feels bound by no such thing. One campaign-era forced if not also phony confession of Jesus at Brokeback (er, Saddleback) and from then on it was Secularville for him. If not oddly Islam-sympathizing.
Obama isn’t fit to be in the same room as a three week old pile of dog sh!t.
This is the most pathetic, stupid, impotent person that I have ever seen in all my life;/
Time is running out for America,
This evil arrogant man is going bring Gods direct judgment on this nation, and I don’t think we’ll have to wait long if he succeeds in being an instrument for satan causing the dividing of Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria. The blessings are already leaving us but no one in higher office seems to recognize it,
This happens at the time of the end:
“I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and for my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land.” Joel 3:2
“And in that day will I make Jerusalem a burdensome stone for all people: all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth be gathered together against it.” Zechariah 12:3
“And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; “ Isaiah 28:18
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem,
If you’d like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

When the Arabs want peace?
How stupid of the “lyin’ king” to misquote Hillel to an Israeli! Sheesh..the Chutzpah!
I have learned that ‘if Obama’s lips are moving he is lying”, and I wish the Dems would learn that ‘Stupid does NOT have a color’.
Amen to that!
