Obstacle to Peace

The last question Obama answered last night reveals quite a bit about his perspective on the Middle East-and should be alarming to those who support Israel. Instead of disputing the premise of the question from an AFP reporter, Obama went along with the idea that Netanyahu and Lieberman might present barriers to peace. Obama could easily have deflected the question by saying "both sides" or "those who harbor terror", but instead, Obama said he would be "persistent".  "BO" accepts that Israel is the stumbling block to peace. Israel has always wanted an enduring peace and has made and is willing to make enormous sacrifices to obtain it. The Palestinians who are not the only enemy Israel has to deal with, by in large, do not want peace, but favor the removal or subjugation of Jews in the Holy Land. Never forget that the Palestinian Liberation Organization was formed to battle and overturn Israel in 1964-three(3) years before Israel came into possession of what most of the world terms "occupied territory" which more appropriately should be called "disputed territory". The West Bank is not the objective of the Palestinian struggle-the true aim of the Jihad against Israel is genocide, expulsion, forced conversion, turning Jews into dhimmi or into corpses. Israel, no matter the leadership, advances the prospect of peace. If the Arabs disarmed, there would be peace. If Israel disarmed, annihilation of the Jews would ensue. Peace will come only with a reformation of Islam when Muslims abandon the idea of conversion by the sword. Obama does not and will never recognize this glaring fact.
