Dear Chana.

Your last sentence in your comment was "the ball is in Obama's court". Sadly he continues to throw that ball at Israel .Hard. He created an artificial rift between Israel and the US .The reason for it is beyond me. Clearly Obama lives for Obama and for Obama's glory. I wonder if he thinks that if he will break down Bibi he will be glorified and it will be worth sacrificing the long term friendship with Israel?

We wonder what the Arabs should do for peace. Even Obama should know that the settlements are not the reason for the absence of peace between Israel and the PA.And that if the Arabs wanted peace they could have it within 24 hours without his balls and his lies and his comparison between the Holocaust and the "suffering " of the Palestinians.

Obama's overt hostility towards Israel tells the Arabs that he will give them Israel on a silver platter.That they need to do nothing but wait.( fantasy lives in these areas.)His friendship with ABBAS is just as disgusting as Clinton's friendship with Arafat.Arafat invented terror and Abbas wrote a desertation in the U of Moscow denying the Holocaust.So why is the O upset with Ahmedinijad for denying the Holocaust?

I have a great deal of trust in Bibi. I liked his speech and I hope that he will hold his ground. Someone needs to tell Obama that he is not the king of the universe and that the glory he is looking for will not be found on the backs of the Israelis.
