Participants of 50-member delegation that met with president says he also relayed that Palestinians 'don't feel confident' about Netanyahu's commitment to territorial concessions and urged Israel 'search your souls' about seriousness on peace.

U.S. President Barack Obama told Jewish leaders this week that Israel must use its military, political and cultural strength to create a context for peace with the Palestinians, according to participants of a 50-member delegation that met the president at the White House on Tuesday.

Obama stressed to the delegates of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations that Washington was committed in its support for Israel and its security.

But some of the delegates, who asked not to be named, also said that the president hinted that Israel must do some soul-searching regarding its commitment to peace.

Bunch of useful idiots ia all they are. Exactly how have the Palestinians ever demonstrated their “commitment to peace”?

I love how this is all in the supposed context of Israel being primarily at fault for the whole situation.

Doesn’t the Palestinians also bear responsibility for bringing something to the peace process? Why is the burden only Israel’s? These are questions that need to be asked and answered by democrats.

These fools are delusional. All of the countries surrounding Israel do not want “peace”, they want to KILL every last one of the Jews and steal all Israel. The Jewish leaders have to be insane to believe what they have said about Obama and a “context for peace”.
