Obama is leading. He is doing so boldly and transparently, with the kind of credibility and charisma--both domestically and internationally--that many of his predecessors lacked. I believe that if regional and international leaders rise to the challenge and the promise of President Obama, they may find in him the one who will finally broker lasting peace between Jews and Arabs.
If Netanyahu and his team seriously consider the president's agenda, they may realize--as well they should--that it constitutes a rare opportunity for ending, once and for all, the Arab-Israel conflict, including Israel's conflict with the Palestinians. President Obama clearly stated why a freeze on settlements is imperative. He is seeking meaningful negotiations toward a final resolution of the conflict.
More like the final solution.
For such negotiations to be held in earnest, Israel cannot take measures that prejudge their outcome and should not engage in actions that Palestinians and their Arab brethren throughout the Middle East view as provocative and aggressive.
Aren't the palestinians taking measures that prejudge the outcome of negotiations, such as demanding the dismantlement of Jewish communities? How about for the palestinians and their arab brethren to stop engaging in actions provocative and aggressive toward Israel? As always with liberals, its a one-way street where the onus for creating peace is placed entirely upon Israel. As if Arab behavior such as hatred, incitement and terrorism have no bearing on the situation.
