Obama said!!
" If we resume negotiations, as we plan to do, then I think that the
Palestinians will have to recognize Israel as a Jewish state; will
have to also enable Israel to have the means to defend itself. And if
those conditions are met, Israel's security conditions are met, and
there's recognition of Israel's legitimacy, its permanent legitimacy,
then I think we can envision an arrangement where Palestinians and
Israelis live side by side in dignity, in security, and in peace."

Peace isn't Arab goal
WHO FAVORS a two-state solution to the Arab-Israeli conflict?
President Obama does, of course, as he made clear in welcoming Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the White House on Monday. So does former president George W. Bush, who began advocating Palestinian statehood in 2002 and continued until his final days in office. The Democratic Party's national platform endorses a two-state solution; the Republican platform does, too. The UN Security Council unanimously reaffirmed its support a few days ago, and the European Union is strongly in favor as well... read more
Israel 'deaf' to two-state solution
"If we resume negotiations then I think the Palestinians will have to recognise Israel as a Jewish state and also enable Israel to have the means to defend itself," Netanyahu said.
Following the meeting, Netanyahu said: "I did not say two states for two peoples."
He also said that Israel did not want to govern the Palestinians.
"We want them to govern themselves [minus] a handful of powers that could endanger the state of Israel," Netanyau said... read more

Obama Iran Strategy
quoted from Haaretz
Obama set a rough timetable for his diplomatic outreach to Iran for the first time on Monday. "The important thing is to make sure there is a clear timetable," he said. "By the end of the year we should have some sense whether or not these discussions [involving Iran] are starting to yield significant benefits." Obama also said he was not closing off a "range of steps" against Iran, including sanctions, if it continues its nuclear program, which Washington believes is aimed at producing an atomic weapon but Tehran says is for peaceful purposes.
He also held out the prospect of tougher sanctions against Tehran "to ensure that Iran understands we are serious." Obama stressed that attempts by the Bush administration to isolate Iran had failed, "so what we are going to try to do is do something different." He said he hoped to begin negotiations with Tehran soon, after Iran holds elections next month. Iran's leaders have so far rebuffed his efforts to reach out to them and toughened their rhetoric.

Two States will lead to Collapse of Israel
Palestinian Ambassador to Lebanon Abbas Zaki: Two-State Solution Will Lead to the Collapse of Israel: "With the two-state solution, in my opinion, Israel will collapse, because if they get out of Jerusalem, what will become of all the talk about the Promised Land and the Chosen People? What will become of all the sacrifices they made – just to be told to leave? They consider Jerusalem to have a spiritual status. The Jews consider Judea and Samaria to be their historic dream. If the Jews leave those places, the Zionist idea will begin to collapse...

We Fooled You, We Intend to Destroy You. So Now What Will You Give Us?
Barry Rubin is director of the Global Research in International Affairs (GLORIA) Center and editor of the Middle East Review of International Affairs (MERIA) Journal.
When talking among themselves and in Arabic, Middle East radicals often "let their hair down," to use the English-language idiom, meaning talk frankly about how they are fooling the dumb rubes in the West and what their real goals are... during the Oslo peace process era, from 1994 to 2000, Israel admitted more than 200,000 Palestinians to the West Bank and the Gaza Strip...read more

All pigs must die
because they descend from Jews:
According to Egyptian Islamic scholar
According to Egyptian Islamic scholar
by Itamar Marcus & Barbara Crook, May 13, 2009
All pigs alive today are descendants of the Jews who were turned into
pigs by Allah, according to a senior Egyptian religious leader. Since
all pigs are descendants of Jews, it is obligatory to kill all pigs,
says Sheikh Ahmed Ali Othman.
Presumably if pigs were merely animals, they would not face destruction.
It is their Jewish ancestry that condemns them to death...

Demography Governs Policy
Demography has been used in Israel for decades by both left and right to
advance and justify policies in the territories and regarding borders.
Early advocates of a withdrawal from Gaza and the West Bank, for
example, cited, in addition to moral arguments, the fear that Arabs
would eventually outnumber Jews in the land under Israeli control...

PA Muslim Leader
The Fatah-appointed sheikh, then-chairman of the PA's Islamic Law

and tortured forever, and it is a Muslim duty to see to it that they
reap their due. No petty arguments must be allowed to divide us. Where
Hitler failed, we must succeed."
