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.

"The violence engulfing the region today"

ISLAM's FAULT!

"the lives of so many Palestinian children are taken from us in Gaza"

0bama declares himself part of the "us" of Hamas in Gaza who Israel (in an attempt to defend itself from terrorists who use them as human shields) have killed as collateral damage in a war and war crime perpetrated by Hamas.

0bama just declared himself one with terrorists.

It's an odd side effect that happens when your neighbors will stop at nothing to kill you simply because you exist.

...” The problem is too many muslims have never even TRIED peace”....

That’s because to a muslim Peace can only come through Islam...thus until the world is converted there will be no peace in their minds and hearts.....Israel stands in the way by simply “being”.

Through the prophet Zechariah the LORD God has spoken:

....., “In that day I will make Jerusalem a stumbling block for all people; all that burden themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though all the people of the earth gather against it.” (Zechariah 12:3).

Those words tunneled out from under the prepared remarks

“Just like Obama to criticize our Allies”

Obama is why we’re going it alone here.

Israel needs to undertake some very serious ethnic cleansing.

They could clear the West Bank and Gaza in a matter of a couple of weeks with the user of a moving artillery wall.

People WILL evacuate.

Once done, a wall/fence will seal the deal.

Of course, it looks to me like they aren't all that interested in survival.

For Obama, “too many Israelis were ready to abandon a bid for peace in the region” means “Too many Jooooooos refuse to die and surrender their land to headchoppers.”
