So despite years of stated policy concerning a two state solution with Israel and Palestine,
Edited on Wed Sep-21-11 11:06 AM by MadHound
Obama is now going to block Palestinians from achieving that two state solution via the UN?
Sorry, but that's rather bizarre. Putting the fate of the two state solution in the hands of Israel and negotiations won't get Palestine any closer to their own country anytime soon.
Amazing that we're watching our president go back on what has been settled US policy for years.
when it comes to Middle East policy. And it has for decades. I wonder if there has ever been, in the course of modern history, where a client state dictates so completely what it will and will not do to its sponsor. It's a shameful business.
3. We were being diplomatic...No one expected the Palestinians to actually DO it!
You ever have that old college roommate or distant relative? "Sure; stop on by whenever you're in town!!" and then your jaw is on the floor when they show up at your door?
6. Israel has no interest in an agreement. Actions speak louder than words.
You don't build settlements in occupied territory that you intend to leave. And you don't KEEP building them when that is an impediment to peace talks. The current Israeli regime and apparently, most voters, think the West Bank is Israel's by historical right and they have no intention of ever giving it up.
