Note: I wasn’t planning on writing about Obama’s speech and the Israel/Palestine conflict. However, the reactionary comments regarding Obama as an “enemy of Israel” by otherwise intelligent Jewish friends has motivated me to set the record straight on Obama’s speech.
From Obama’s Mideast speech:
http://www.israelnationalnews.com/News/News.aspx/144336 “Our commitment to Israel’s security is unshakeable. And we will stand against attempts to single it out for criticism in international forums.”
Committing to Israel must be Obama’s hatred against Israel that people are talking about.
“Israel as a Jewish state and the homeland for the Jewish people, and the state of Palestine as the homeland for the Palestinian people, each state enjoying self-determination, mutual recognition, and peace.”
Mentioning Palestine, homeland, and people in the same sentence shows hatred of Israel Obama was showing, right?
“So while the core issues of the conflict must be negotiated, the basis of those negotiations is clear: a viable Palestine, a secure Israel.”
How Dare Obama hate Israel by stating their need to be secure!
