Israel lost a valuable asset when the Oslo peace scam was signed on the White House lawn in 1993. Defeating one's enemies was an asset Israel maintaned until that time. Now the US under the ruse of peace makes sure Israel no longer defeats her enemies as we saw with Hizbollah in 2006 and Hamas in 2009. This is why Fatah plays the rigged peace game ,it's their way to victory over Israel. There will only be peace when Israel's enemies are broken and fearfuly defeated to the point where they cry loudly and SERIOUSLY for peace on Israel's terms. Israel needs to drop her big brrrother peace hustlers and thier Road Map very soon because peace is not what it is bringing.

Lets get real, the Palestinians got their best offer when Clinton was President and Arafat screwed that up for them. Then Olmert made an equally good offer under Bush Jr. and Abbas turned it down. Bibi will not offer as much as Sharon or Olmert and can not offer more than they did. What do they expect Obama to offer that Clinton and Bush Jr. could not offer?

What the PA & FATAH officials are saying is only a euphemism for " we feel hopeless,helpless, & unable to do or achieve anything simply because we can not wage war & hence we can not make peace from a position of weakness while Israel is enjoying the upper hand militarily & otherwise ... " ! It's crystal clear that the 1991 Madrid Negotiations and the ensuing 1993 Oslo Accords have backfired & proved counter productive ! Instead of enjoying much-desired just peace we ,Palestinians, have survived more bloody violence , more devastating wars, and more retrogression . What is the PA there for ? Just giving monthly salaries to its employees ? And what is HAMAS achieving thus far ? Nothing ... ! Yet I still dare wonder overtly if any " future Palestinan State " would be any better than Israeli occupation or administration ( terminology counts nothing in this context ) . So far both the PA & HAMAS have proved brutal & incompetent in ruling their subjects . We are still living in a farce !

Some people are saying that is why Obama is developing the new bunker buster bomb.

longing for a taste of our NUKES

They keep blaming all others and not take responsibility for their own follies. PA leadership expected Bibi to fold like Olmert/Livni. Obaama miscalculated as did PA. Now PA adds another condition that Obama write there will be a Pal state. Abbas never was popular; PA corrupt and near useless- with all the money given them what has Hamas-PA done excwept make war and demand everything as they try to defeat Jewish state of israel

that a four way summit between matitayoo abbas myself and obamah in new your will only cause damage and i will not attend it believe me we need special amrican involvement to remove matityahoo and put shulamit aloni as israil pm now this is what i call palistinian democracy after all we palistinians invented democracy believe me thank you please

Even the left sees what a total zero Obama is, what has he done as President? The economy? nope, health care ? nope, Close Guantanamo? Nope, Middle east Peace? Nope, reign in Iran? Nope, All Obama has done is insult degrade and defame America make it a laughing stock of the world, get an undeserved Nobel prize, bow to the King of Saudi Arabia, create disunity in America, use the race card, smoke cigarettes, play golf, go on vacation, declare war on Fox News, snub General McCrystal whom he himself appointed etc. Even Saturday Night Live is mocking him

and the Nobel Peace Prize committee and some under-educated Americans. The rest of the world pretty much understands he is brilliant at giving a speech and nothing else.

I guess that is about the only thing we have in common with gazans
