Say what?
Barack Obama announced today that extremists, rejectionists seeking destruction along with Hamas are not going to stop the peace process.
Huh? Isn’t that the purpose of the peace process?… To stop the terror attacks and killings?
Israel’s peace partners recently honored the mother of 4 suicide bombers.

The AP reported:
Direct Israeli-Palestinian negotiations broke off nearly two years ago, in December 2008, and the Obama administration spent its first 20 months in office coaxing the two sides back to negotiations. Obama was adamant Wednesday that extremist violence would not derail the process.
“There are going to be extremists and rejectionists who, rather than seeking peace, are going to be seeking destruction,” he said. “The United States is going to be unwavering in its support of Israel’s security. And we are going to push back against these kinds of terrorist attacks. And so the message should go out to Hamas and everyone else who is taking credit for these heinous crimes that this is not going to stop us.”
Expectations for the Washington talks are low, yet the consequences of failure are high. The Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a constant source of grievance and unrest in the Muslim world. The failure of past peace efforts has left both sides with rigid demands and public ambivalence about the value of a negotiated settlement.
Dan Friedman added: “What greater incentive to kill Jews do the butchers need?”
The Obama Administration is currently funding a pro-Palestinian billboard campaign in Israel.

If I remember correctly, Obama stated many times Repubilcans were evil and bad –so those, according to the logic, are the extremists. I guess every republican is an extremist & rejectionist.
If you help the poor and love Jesus you are, according to Obama from my point of view, an extremist & a rejectionist. There is no if-but-and-ors about it. Period. You are a failure.

I fully expect this regime to literally blackmail Netanyahu into “peace” at the expense of Israel. Hope they’ve got those lifeboats ready. . .
DocScience commented:
There is no peace, there will be no peace.
Generations of wildly zealous Palestinians committed to war and the extermination of the Jewish state, if not all Jews themselves, make that virtually certain.
There is only a process by which the spineless US leadership can pretend to be doing something… with nice catering and hotels too I bet.
And most every two bit terrorist and third world revolutionary likes a deluxe bed and 5 star meals paid for by Uncle Sucker.
Saves money for bombs.

Every time the US bullies Israel into negotiations with Palestinians , innocent jewish civilians die. Violance is inflicted on the way through the door , greater violance threatened at the table, and a big intefada violant riot attack when Israel walks away from the table.

Hey Barry,
Instead of working on Mid-East peace,
why don’t you work on Mid-West jobs?

Well Owebowma knows all about “seeking destruction.”
kato commented:
Obama’s flunkies already told us the process is going to take about a year. No “shovel-ready” peace project here.
In the meantime, Obama will take credit for illusory diplomatic progress and might even get a Nobel Peace Prize nomination from the idiots across the pond. But, Palestinian missiles will eventually start raining down on Israel and the talks will end.
Worse, the talks may end with one side or the other accusing Obama of acting in bad faith. Why? Because Obama is probably acting in bad faith. Look at his Janus-faced treatment of both Israel and the Palestinians in the past year.
This is more about Obama the Historic President than it is about establishing a lasting peace.

Why would they ever settle their disagreements??? Regional conflict is profitable…O’bastard ear-marked 400 million of hard earned American dollars to rebuild Gaza. They will start another conflict with Israel and the world will stand ready to pump millions and billions into their dirty hands. Why stop?

I cannot abide this child who is playing at being a leader and endangering lives everywhere with each inanity he utters.
P. Aaron commented:
Hamas and the other ME terror groups bent on destroying Israel will not honestly come to the table until they fear their own destruction.
Andreas K. commented:
Smartest and most eloquent president ever, eh? And such a great speaker, eh?
What did Golda Meir say? There will be peace when the Arabs start loving their children more than they hate the Jews.
At least I think it was her.
timothyJ commented:
If every Jew in Israel except one offered to walk off into the sea, it still would not be enough to bring Hamas to the peace table. They would still be throwing bombs at Israel until that last Jew agreed to kill himself, or their bombs finally killed him. They Hamas could have peace with Israel. Or a piece of Israel.
Stuart commented:
And when the last Jew was killed Hamas would find a reason to divide into smaller factions and go at each other hammer and tongs.
Face the fact that these psychopaths love only one thing, death.
