Obama's Israel Surprise
Wall Street Journal ^ | 5/19/11 | Jay Solomon & Carol E. Lee

WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama, seeking to get ahead of historic changes rolling through the Middle East, promised support for democratic uprisings in the Arab world and called for the first time to begin negotiations for a Palestinian state based on Israel's pre-1967 borders.

“I’m seeing more and more comments on articles about the none in main-stream articles that Americans aren’t enamored with his decisions. He at least won’t be re-elected...”

G-d bless the USA and Israel.

The arabs are O’s natural constituency.

What’s so surprising? Most leftists are anti semites.

Hopefully, America’s Jews will turn on Obama like a Rotweiller.

our Poser in Chief is a Christian?

That is what he told people. But if you look at his "church" it reveals something few Christians understand. Black Liberation Theology- Communism in a thin "religious" wrapper. And they accepted Muslims in their church without conversion. Is that not revealing.

But, God is not deceived. We are all responsible for our actions. This will play out by his rules.

Interesting that his speech was translated into English, Arabic, Farsi, and —NOT— Hebrew. Why not go the extra mile for Israel and honor their native tongue?
