I hardly know what to say. The first word that comes to mind is “hypocrite.” Because suddenly, Obama has seen the light on the Israeli point of view regarding peace.
U.S. President Barack Obama has said there is hope for peace in the Middle East, but told Israeli media that is not “blindly optimistic”.
Israel is right to be skeptical about the peace process, he told Israeli television in a yet-to-be-aired interview that was taped on Wednesday. He noted during the interview that many people thought the founding of Israel was impossible, so its very existence should be a “a great source of hope.”
Five’ll getcha ten he uses the same bullshit narrative in the interview as he did in the Cairo speech—the one about Israel’s birth being related to the Holocaust, but not a three-millennia history in the land.
Sorry, but the only thing I can think of when I read about Obama’s sudden change is: Wow, the Dems must really be hurting financially and otherwise if Obama’s made this sudden turnaround. I will remind you that it was only a few months ago that Obama had Hillary Clinton spend 45 minutes reaming out Bibi Netanyahu over an announcement that he had no control over, and spent the next week or two leaking all kinds of horrible quotes about him and how Israel was harming the relationship with the U.S.—over a few additions to suburbs in Jerusalem.
I am not convinced, Mr. President, that you mean what you say here. I expect to see a change the day after the midterms.
