United States President Barack Obama lauded Israeli and Palestinian Authority leaders in a speech Tuesday at the United Nations.
Obama spoke in support of the ongoing Israel-PA peace talks, and said he was glad to see that more young Israelis recognize that "the occupation of the West Bank" cannot continue.
Young Arabs in Ramallah are "understandably cynical" regarding the talks and frustrated at "the daily indignities of occupation," he said.
The "West Bank" is the term American and other international leaders use to refer to Judea and Samaria (Shomron). The territories were settled by both Jews and Arabs until 1948, when Jordan won control of the area in a war with the fledgling Jewish state.
Israel won the territory back 19 years later, in 1967, and an estimated 600,000 Israeli Jews currently live in the region. Estimates of the number of Palestinian Authority Arabs in the region range from 1.5 million to 2.4 million.
The PA has claimed the area as Arab territory, to be used to establish a PA-led Arab state of "Palestine." PA leaders term Jews living in the region "settlers" and insist that all Jews be forced to leave.
Allowing the PA to create the Arab state it seeks is the only way to peace, Obama declared. "Friends of Israel, including the United States, must realize that Israel's security... depends on the realization of the Palestinian state," he said.
"Arab states must realize that security will only be realized through a two-state solution," he added.
Peace between Israel and the PA "will be a powerful tool to defeat extremists throughout the region," he said.

THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A “PALISTINIAN”!
They are refugees from surrounding countries such as Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon, etc. and even they don’t want them.
Foot in mouth disease is apparently beyond obamacare s ability to cure. His terribly embarrassjng this man is. I really thought he’d grow into the job. I thought he was intelligent and would see his way to adopting a
American and Chrjstian values. It’s so sorry. So very sorry. Pray for America. (Israel sees through the problem, they’ve seen it before. USA still doesn’t recognize what it’s up against ).
American people to king hussein:”End occupation of the White House!”

I'm game, but the Israelis probably wouldn't like it if we did ...
He is speaking to the clueless, yet passionate anti-Semites that will carry his water while keeping their heads buried in the sand.
