Read his on-the-ground report. en-us rkampeas@jta.org Copyright 2009 2009-03-25T;07:28:01-05:00 ransjfinn@rcn.com I was very disturbed by the tone of the question.  To me that “reporter” was an ignorant, uninformed, anti-Semite (an oxymoron?). Who is Isreal’s negotiating partner, a political group run by thugs, and/or a terrorist group dedicated to the destruction of Israel.?  Actually Fatah has never agreed to remove it’s stated dedication of the destruction of Israel. Unfortunately, Mr. Obama’s answer was evasive to the question.  He still sounds and acts like a parochial community organizer. Imagine what Isreal will suffer when/if Judea and Samaria become like Gaza? Mr. Netanyahu has it correct.  The Arabs never have had a democratic culture, and need to become acquainted with freedom and a free economy. When Israeli Arabs are asked if they would prefer to live in Israel or the PA, 99% agree to Israel. I believe that most Jews’ relationships with Mr. Obama are what I would describe as the “Bernard Madoff Syndrome”.

Bibi understands that Abbas has no power with the spector of Hamas in the background. Lieberman wants israeli Arabs to be loyal to their state and not dance on their rooftops when Haifa receives incoming during the last war. For this he is grateful? Whose side is he on?
