2. 'We cannot force the parties to arrive at peace, but we can
Jules ,   FR   (01.19.17)
but we can encourage and facilitate it.' How? by imposing indefensible borders on Israel? By denying 3000 years of Jewish history on Jerusalem and on the land? By giving away chunks of Jewish land to " Palestinians" who took already 78% of mandatory Palestine which is call Jordan? Is this coming from a President of the US?
3. concerned
Zev Friedman ,   Lawrence , NY   (01.19.17)
And will this new ARAB state, which will not allow Jews to be citizens, be a democracy?
Why isn't this a concern for Pres Obama and Secty Kerry.
Hypocritical-- isn't it ?

5. Obama's wo
Phillip Dryer ,   Rosebery   (01.19.17)
Oh do go away, but do it quietly.
6. You said this 8 years ago
MadDad ,   Johannesburg RSA   (01.19.17)
Are the Arabs peaceful and/or democratic?
Why did you and your cronies not address the situation Gaza, which is both militant and non-democratic, even once?
Now you want to apply the same formula to Judea and Samaria as a solution to make Israel democratic and peaceful - both unreasonable and absurd.
7. 10 million Arabs expelled in Syria. Israel do them the same.
Steve Benassi ,   Minneapolis USA   (01.19.17)
8. advise
tiki ,   belgium   (01.19.17)
Advise from the man who leaves office after 8 years with the ME burning, fugitive numbers soaring, America divided & poor and helping Iran to nuke the planet etc.etc.etc.

Millions of people are and will be suffering because of him!

A little humility would be in place.

But this is a word this failed president hasn't in his vocabulary.

9. Obama is worried, worried, worried
C   (01.19.17)
he is worried because according to him the israel-palestinian issue
is unsustainable.
worry not, little emperor, israel will take care of herself. as for the
arabs, allah will take care of them as he has done till now.
10. Obama's policies are unsustainable
C   (01.19.17)
the latest is the commutation of the sentence of manning from
thirty five years to seven years.
obama claims that the sentence for leaking information was
disproportionate to other leakers.
however, manning was convicted for espionage and conspiracy.
obama seems not to know the deference between leaks
and espionage.
the truth: obama mostly agrees with manning.
it is odd to see an american president who cannot fully support
his country, especially in national security.
it was known before he was ever elected that obama had marxist,
tiers mondist views. the press kept this a secret. shame
on the press, especially the main stream american press.
