The US and the rest of the world are behind a Palestinian state long before Obama. In order to have some sort of Palestinian state on the West Bank, having a network of exclusive Israeli settlement, connected by special roads far superior and isolate from the local Arabs, is totally unpalatable to even the most sensible and accomodating of Arab leaders. Would you want to live in a country where a bunch of hostile foreigners had a separate and isolated society better than yours, like the European concessions in old Shanghai? Okay, Israel should keep all of Jerusalem and some key srongpoints, but letting Israel build more Israeli only settlements on the West Bank is a message of war not peace. A better world might let Israel have the whole West Bank and do a Stalin like removal of the Arabs, ala post war Europe, but that is not happening. I know many Arabs and Muslims harbor Nazi like attitudes towards Israel, but building more West Bank Israeli settlements only strenghthens those hands.

I couldn't read anymore of this pointless putdown after such a trashy, ignorant lie. But then again this leads one to believe the right is now the home of the most virulent anti-intellectual-intelligence people who actually can swallow such crap without a second thought. “He represents everything that the Left has come to signify for our time, with its ancestral suspicion of Jews,”

This will be the kindest judgement that history will be able to render on Obama's statecraft; I fear that it will have to be much worse.
