In Camp David homage, Obama says Israeli-Palestinian peace 'seems distant now'

CAMP DAVID -- Sixty-seven years to the day since Israel declared independence, and 37 years since it signed a peace accord with Egypt here at the American presidential retreat in Maryland, US President Barack Obama cast doubt on the prospects for peace between Israel and the Palestinian people on Thursday after meeting with Arab leaders.

A final Israeli-Palestinian accord "seems distant now," Obama said from Camp David, reiterating the US position that an agreement recognizing two states for two peoples is "absolutely vital" for greater Middle East peace.

"Since we're up here at Camp David, I think it's important to remind ourselves of the degree to which a very hard peace deal that required incredible vision and courage and tough choices resulted in what’s now been a lasting peace between countries that used to be sworn enemies," Obama said. "And Israel is better off for it. I think the same would be true if we get a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians."

"That prospect seems distant now," he continued. "But I think it's always important for us to keep in mind what’s right and what’s possible."

US president recognizes Israel's successful formation of a government, but notes that some of its members are openly opposed to the creation of a Palestinian state.

He is so sad...

Dear president Obumble,
there is a vast difference between what you think
is “right” and what is “possible”.

This is probably the first time this anti-American criminal loser has been to Camp David. He should be in prison.

If peace isn't in the cards at the present time the President, like some Euro countries, should simply declare a state for the terrorists and let them do their best to kill the Jews. It's only fair.
