Peace between the Palestinians and Israel will only come when the UN starts to enforce International Law, and when other countries get involved since the United States has shown for decades that is is unwilling to be a fair and honest broker for peace. Both the Administration as well as the Congress have been bought and paid for by AIPAC. Obama has lost all credibility with the Muslim world. He gave a great speech in Cairo which raised hopes, but his actions with BiBi speak volumes. The Israelis have continued to ignore UN resolutions, and yet, when it comes to a Muslim country, the US can convince the UN to apply sanctions. By doing nothing, the UN and its members are complicit in the blockade as well as the illegal settlements. It is time for the Palestinians to get fair and just treatment. Obama has called for direct talks within the next couple of months, expecting the Palestinians to give up the right to demand that the illegal settlements be stopped and the blockade lifted. BiBi will agree to the talks becasue Israel under Obama's plan, gives up nothing. The UN has the obligation to see that the Palestinians have a state as they once did for Israel. After all these years, the UN should end this occupation.

The Palestiniand has their own country with the 1947 UN Partition of British 'Palestine,' but they immediately started a war with Israel and lost their land. Heck, they and their Arab neighbors started quiet a few wars. How about the US starts a war with Russia, Russia loses it's land, and we brainwash everyone to blaim Russia for it!

I am so glad to learn both Obama and Netanyahu were smilling for that shows the talks were conducted in a friendly atmosphere. It is also very nice to hear that both presidents were very optimistic about the peace prospects. All that is very encouraging indeed !! Given that these two guys have already met five times for a short period of 5-6 monts, I calculated by using the method of extrapolation that they are to meet another 15-20 times in the following 2 years (because AIPAC insists on these frequent meetings). I can bet that the same sort of "peace" phrases will be heard each time they meet. I've heard each time Obama has a talk with Bibi, he is awarded by 3530 $ from AIPAC. I mean, I can understand Hussein for, if I were the president of US under these circumstances, I would talk with Bibi every day. Several times.
