Obama: 'No short cut' to Middle East peace.

[LadyLeigh]

Barack Obama, the US president, has said "there is no short cut to the end of a conflict that has endured for decades" between the Israelis and the Palestinians.

In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Obama expressed frustration at the failure of both parties to bridge their differences and at the Palestinians' decision to seek full membership of the UN through the Security Council later this week.

The US has said it will veto such an effort.

Of course we know from the Wikileaks cables that the Palestineans have inofficially conceded in virtually all fields, including the illegal settlements.

This decision of Barack Obama, to stand with racism and oppression, is a disgrace to the legacy of Martin Luther King.
