He suggested working with moderate Palestinians that support the road map, and forget about the others as there is no time to waste."<br /><br />The supposedly moderately Palestinian Arab with which Israel is to make a deal have <a href="http://dsadevil.blogspot.com/2010/11/it-takes-two-baby.html" rel="nofollow">stated</a> their views rather clearly now. No recognition - not now, not ever - of Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people. No compromise on any demands. An expectation that Israel take in all refugees, etc., etc. No willingness to talk unless Israel concedes all East Jerusalem as Palestinian. Assertions that Jews have no connection with the Wailing Wall, etc., etc. In other words, this is all a joke.<br /><br />And, the supposedly competent Obama administration has screwed up even the idea of people talking. We supposedly had a deal with Netanyahu - one that the Israeli government wants in writing, presumably so that the rules of the game would be clear. That evidently turned out to be a bit more difficult.<br /><br />The main problem today, I hate to say, is Obama. Events are spinning out of control. As bad as Bush II was - and that is really bad -, Obama is even worse. He is a laughing stock of a president.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
