President Obama criticized some Muslims who “measure one’s own faith by the rejection of somebody else’s faith.” [I agree.] He described the jihadists as a “small minority.”
[Not small, if it is the estimated10-20% of the billion Muslims, controlling some states and growing, without much vocal opposition. We can hope that the majority becomes disgusted with the constant jihadist violence against them.]
Pres. Obama “…reserved some of his bluntest words for Israel, as he expressed sympathy for the Palestinians and what he called the ‘daily humiliations, large and small, that come with occupation.” He depicted those Arabs’ situation as “intolerable.” He said “...it is also undeniable that the Palestinian people – Muslims and Christians – have suffered in pursuit of a homeland. For more than 60 years, they endured the pain of dislocation. “…Israelis must acknowledge that just as Israel’s right to exist cannot be denied, neither can Palestine’s.” “…the US does not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlements.” Jerusalem should be “a secure and lasting home for Jews and Christians and Muslims.” “The only resolution is for the aspirations of both sides to be met through two states, where Israelis and Palestinians each live in peace and security.” “And Israel must also live up to its obligation to ensure that Palestinians can live and work and develop their society.” The U.S. bond with Israel unbreakable and unshakeable.
President Obama does not evince knowledge of the situation. He accepts false and stereotyped versions of history. Calling the Palestinian Authority “occupied,” implies that the area belongs to them, but it does npt. So they are not under occupation. He claims they suffered for 60 years “in pursuit of a homeland.” Actually, most of them left their homelands, tried to drive the Jews out of theirs, lost, and suffered as a result of their genocidal aggression, corruption, and jihadist leaders. They are not much humiliated by Israel, but they constantly insult Israel and Jews and try to kill them. Why does Obama not sympathize with the Jewish Israelis, of whom the Palestinian Arabs wantonly murdered thousands and maimed many more thousands? Those Arabs do not want a country so much as to deny the Jews a country. As for Christian Arabs, the Muslims are driving them out of the whole Mideast. The Muslim Palestinian Arabs deserve no sympathy. Nor have they a right to a state, though they do have one, called Jordan.
Israel tries to let the Palestinian Arabs under its jurisdiction develop, but those Arabs try to destroy Israel. The blame should go to the Arabs. As for Jewish towns in Judea, of course they are legitimate – read the Palestine Mandate!
In demanding that Israel give up the core of its homeland and secure borders and water to its unrepentant enemy, Pres. Obama, like his predecessors, is shaking U.S. bonds with Israel and fostering anti-American jihadist terrorism.
