Obama’s failure to end Israeli settlement

Obama’s failure to end Israeli settlement activity in the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians seek statehood, has done much to quash the hope many Arabs had in him two years ago.

"An eye for an eye" has always been the motto of those who live under the Mosaic Law--injury for injury, injustice for injustice, death for death.
Such is the situation in the Mideast today, where the Palestinians suffer at the hands of the Israelis. Though neither side is blameless and some on both sides have shed innocent blood.
I just love to see U.S. hypocrisy exposed! I'm afraid the poor Palestinians are going to have to suffer a while longer, along with many other refugees around the world. But blessed are they that mourn, for they shall be comforted. And blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the Earth.

A confused U.S. reaction to Arab revolts where it has appeared to be irrelevant, and its challenge now in nudging them toward conclusions compatible with U.S. foreign policy goals. Analysts suggested U.S. aid will have strings attached on foreign policy. And they not have peace.

Obama is pushing for return to the 1967 borders. With a few changes. Zionist settlements in the West Bank would stay and in exchange, Zionists would trade other Zionist occupied Palestinian lands for the West Bank settlements. Amazing? Zionist crusaders trading some Zionist occupied Palestinian lands for other Zionist occupied lands and at the same time Zionist propagandists crying about how the Palestinians are not giving up anything.

Obama also stated that the Palestinians MUST recognize "Israel's" right to exist. Well, since what Obama calls "Israel" is Zionist occupied Palestinian lands, maybe Obama should light his alleged candle BEFORE he curses the Palestinian's alleged darkness. Come on Obama, Just tell the Palestinians why he thinks/feels that Zionist crusaders have a birthright of murderous theft of ANY Palestinian lands. Don't just tell the Palestinians that Zionist crusaders have a birthright of murderous theft of the Palestinian's homeland. Explain it to them; and you can explain it to us too.

Obama also talked about how he would try to shut down anyone who tries to "de-legitimize" the Zionist crusader state. Such a statement just showcases that Obama presupposes that the Zionist's murderous theft of Palestinian lands is legitimate to begin with. Well Obama, would you care to light your alleged candle on that one??? Tell us how the Zionist's chosen war of conquest of Palestinian lands was ever legitimate.
