Obama tells U.N. only talks will create Palestinian state

Share:

U.S. President Barack Obama told the United Nations on Wednesday that the Palestinians deserved a state of their own, but that this would only be achieved through talks with Israel.

“I am convinced that there is no short cut to the end of a conflict that has endured for decades. Peace will not come through statements and resolutions at the U.N.,” Obama said in a speech to the U.N. General Assembly.

“Ultimately, it is Israelis and Palestinians — not us — who must reach agreement on the issues that divide them: on borders and security; on refugees and Jerusalem,” the text of his speech said.

    a democratic palestinian states living side by side with israel ; it will be in the best interrest of israel for many reasons ,most axis of evil iran syria hezbollah , do exist and gain strenth and support from muslim world , because palestinians cause ;but when that issue is resolved ,those regemes loose most of there support and the muslim world turn against them causing them to collapse;
    resolving palestinian cause will strenghthen democratic groups in the middleast, and will deal a blow to iran , causing a dictatorship to collapse and victory  for democracy; accepting a palestinian state will be a big gain for israel and the palestinians as well,and a big loss for axis of evil iran,syria ,and ha .

    Whether the citizens of the USA are ready to admit it or not … the USA is a client state of Israel, controlled by it’s congress which is controlled by Israeli-leaning politicians.  Witness the Governor of Texas … becomes ‘shrill’ when control of Israel-related policy is mentioned.  As if someone were squeezing his scrotum(and someone from the ‘Israel Lobby’ probably is.)  Would you want this man as president over you?? Why is America ‘burning off’ it’s young men in the middle east fighting Israel’s ‘wars’ for it?    Where are the Israeli soldiers??

    Mr. Obama, they’ve been talking for 20 years. Why don’t you get off the pot and do something about it.

      ya libnan1 one don’t forget that Hamas is not all excited about the idea of Palestinians states. They already said so and they do not recognize Israel. So even if the UN approved the resolution for a palestinians state Hamas is the strong force and without their approval, nothing can be done anyway. Until the palestinians get their shit together and stop attacking israelis, then and only then the world will see their true side. As much as I want the Palestinians out of Lebanon they need to coexist peacefully together otherwise Israel will always use it against them plain and simple. And when you have countries like Iran and groups like Hezbollah arming them so they wipe Israel, then do you really expect the Israelis to allow them to build a country? does Syria allow Lebanon to be a country? does Iran allow Lebanon to be a country other than these jackaesses want us to be part of their territories.. fix your house first before you serious about becoming a true country.

    One can only hope that the US will finally recognize the fact that the world does not revolve around them. The palestinian people need to take matters into their own hands amd take the process out of “talks” that have gone nowhere and instead force the issue before the international community whose majority supports statehood. Israel is not a trustworthy partner and needs a serious jolt to get back to the negotiating table on equal terms with the palestinians as opposed to dictating them. The US has done nothing to push israel to back down and since a presidential election year is coming up, they wont do much either.

      Besides buying the oil and filling eastern coffers, the USA is realizing it can’t FUND all the people all the time … especially after they sent all the jobs to China … so maybe more people should be chipping in for funding change … for a change … like the Arabs?
      Remember people … we are now doing ‘World Economy’ …. 😉

    What a shameful day  for president Obama…..
    The ” man of  change”…… 
    The man who ,many  like  me, were  fooled by  his  rhetoric. I  was fooled once, but  I won’t get  fooled  twice. 
    I know I  only  speak  for myself, but I  also know that  I  echo the  voice of many  people  who  voted  for the man  who  told  us  Yes  we  can……
    Obama, the man who  inspired many  people around  the  world have just made  his  first reelection campaign speech. The man  who told  the  world in  his  well remembered  Cairo  speech that “Israel’s right to exist cannot be denied, neither can Palestine’s”. Yet He  just  did deny  the rights of Palestinians  to an  independent  sovereign  state for  one  simple  reason; that is to appease  the  Israelis and their  powerful  lobbies in  Washington.Worse, his  appearance with Israel’s  prime minster  made  it  look  that  Natanyahu( WEAKEST PRIME MISTER OF THAT  COUNTRY  EVER) was  the  most  powerful man  on  earth, not  Obama, Reason? Well,simply ;No  Balls. non whatsoever.Even George W Bush, who was  the most  supporter of Israel, acted  more respectful of  his office and  of  the  people  who elected him.When Israel was recognized(before the Palestinian  blood of the  Israeli masacres were dried  up) of   by  the  united  nation ,and  few hours  later  by  the president  of the united states, NO  ONE  said that  they  should  negotiate  with  the Palestinians, But  now, the ” champion of  human  rights and  democracy  ” tells  us that  in  order  for the Palestinians  to  have a state, they  need  to get the  approval of the Israelis…….. It is not like  the Palestinians  moved to  Europe and  cleansed an  entire population, and  took over their  land, is it?That  being  said, I’m  still optimistic that  Palestinians  will get their  independent  state whether  Obama like it  or  not.it  will happen  because it  is the  right  thing, and it  is their  natural  right.Obama  had  the  courage to criticize The  Syrian  regime for its  crack down  of  the  democratic  demonstrators, while  he  was  throwing  all of  his  weight and  support   for the most abusive and criminal  state  on  earth, Israel;A   state  which was build  on  the ashes of  another people.A state which had  made  bone breaking  of demonstrators a state policy   when the ”peaceful” prime minster of the  country  , Rabin was in  power. Again, Hypocrisy of the west, hypocrisy of  the so  called  civil society,and  hypocrisy  of the so  called international  community.

    yalibnan,
    Kindly and respectfully, Would you please explain to me why my two comments on the Obama stories have not been published? I feel that the readers of this blog are entitled to read them, and I HATE to believe that I’m being censored just because I was FIRST; critical of the man I strongly believed in, and did my part to help him get elected, and SECOND ;critical of Israel and its racist and arrogant policies.
    If Yalibnan does not offer an explanation, then my suspicious feeling of censorship becomes a reality, and I would never post any comment on this site anymore. If my comments are no longer welcome on this site, PLEASE, have the courage to tell me so.
    The fact that those comments had to be approved by a moderator,and yet not published, It becomes obvious that it is censorship based on views that may not be in line with the official views of this site.
    Your site cannot support freedom of expression and democracy in Syria , Libya and Egypt…ect, and yet practices censorship on its loyal reader who also enjoy exchanging their views on you blog.
    Thank you very much.
    Your loyal reader, PROPHET.T

          Ahh .. ok Prophet … I usually go the other way… If I think I have written something in a moment of inspiration (reactionary?) or of any redeeming significance (hehe .. impressed myself with momentary brilliance, that is) then I copy it and paste into a file before hitting ‘submit’ – kept open and handy for the Net’s ‘just in case moments’.
          I always suspect the ‘net’ before people … and it could be a problem between the various softwares trying to translate into formats.
            In Most cases of sending files anywhere, although it is not taught that way any more it seems, it is the duty of the sender to make sure a file format can be read by the receiver.
