LONDON (AP) — Middle East envoy Tony Blair says Barack Obama launched his peace initiative because he's concerned about what might happen to Israel if Palestinians unilaterally declare statehood. Blair told an audience of business leaders gathered in central London on Thursday that Obama is "frankly worried about the position that Israel is in." The ex-prime minister says that Obama's initiative — rejected by Israeli leader Benjamin Netanyahu — is "an attempt to fill a vacuum which he sees as dangerous, particularly dangerous for Israel in the run-up to September." Mideast watchers have speculated that Washington launched its peace initiative to head off a potentially damaging vote on Palestinian statehood at the U.N. general assembly in September.

Oh, that's a funny! Israel could clear the floor of "Palestinians" in a long weekend, if they took the gloves off.

I think of Zero, and then I think of Ceaucescu ...

You have to be a real dumbass to think that Obama wants Israel to go back to the 1967 borders because he really cares for the country and is trying to help.

Spare me!

Obama’s concern about “The Jewish Problem” is similar to Hitler’s concern.

The US could veto any UN resolution of Palestinian statehood and that would be that. Methinks that Obama won’t do it, despite a lot of public agonizing and hand wringing. Sadly, most American Jews will buy his act.

“Obama’s concern about “The Jewish Problem” is similar to Hitler’s concern.”

I agree.

More spew from the Anti-Zionist crowd.

Hey Tony....you do have your good points, but this one ain't one of them. STFU.

More like Obama wants to destroy Israel before the UN can take credit for the deed.

And Chamberlain was "anxious" about the fate of the Czechs, when he sold them out to Hitler at Munich!

War is peace; hate is love; slavery is freedom... Leftist doublespeak never ends.

Yep they sure could and they could have done that years ago. The Palestinians have never wanted peace and after so many decades of Israel giving and giving and giving and no matter what they do, the palies continue to whine, throw bombs, murder families in their beds, it would be about time to just be done with them.
