    Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu (neh-ten-YAH’-hoo) had planned talks on June 1. But that fell apart after Israel’s deadly raid May 31 on a flotilla hoping to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza.

    The raid has strained U.S. and Israeli relations, and the White House has announced a $400 million aid package for Gaza and the West Bank.

    Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, tells ABC’s “This Week” that Obama has been clear about the need “to seize this moment of opportunity” to make peace — addressing Israeli security and Palestinians’ hopes for their own state.

    What on earth is Obama hoping for NOW?? He has just about dumped Israel in every way. Does he expect to “kiss and make up”? It does not work that way!! Maybe it does with the PA but not with the Israelis!!

    Israel should take every opportunity to try to find a peaceful resolution. Unfortunately, even a winning military strategy could cost the lives of many Israeli residents.

    there should be a simple way to make peace in the middle and solve many problem.

    Talk to the Arabs and say, we will give you all the area where the cherdiem live back to you. You will be happy and get much more land than we where ever going to give you.
    We are happy that we are getting rid of a headache, and some of them even say all the land should be under Arab control
    The cherdiem we jump for joy they will not have to deal with their mortal enemy the Zionist

    everybody wind all get what they want

    This self styled messiah will sell Is., down the tbes at every chance he has with the willing hands of his 2 advisors, Rambo, and Aselrod. One can not believe a word that is uttered from tis false messiah’s mouth.
    If you judge him by his deeds, he is a complete failure, and incompetent buffoon.
