Comments on: Aide: Obama "Committed To" Mideast Peace

David Axelrod Tells Face The Nation That President-Elect's Agenda Growing With Mideast Strife

[demsts]

We would be much better off to let the UN negotiate an international peace zone with full US,EU, China, Russia, India and Brazil backing.
The US is NOT trusted by anyone to be the neutral negotiator.
We are firmly in Israel''s camp and cannot be fair.

THE ORIGINAL SIN

"Should we be unable to find a way to honest cooperation and honest pacts with the Arabs, then we have learned absolutely nothing during our 2,000 years of suffering and deserve all that will come to us."
Albert Einstein

"...If we had invested in the Arab problem one tenth of the energy, the passion, the ingenuity, the resourcefulness which we developed in order to gain the support of Britain, France, the US and Weimar Germany, our destiny in the development of Israel may have been quite different... We were not ready for compromises; we did not make sufficient efforts to get, if not the full agreement of the Arabs, at least their acquiescence to a Jewish state, which I think would have been possible. That was the original sin."
Dr. Nahum Goldmann
President of the World Jewish Congress
writing in the New Outlook,
November-December 1974

If somebody stole his house and threw him and his two daughters out in the street, he would just walk away and go find another country to live in. Between David Axelrod, Hilary Clinton and Condo Rice, we can see where this is going.

Since both the Israelis and the Palestinians are committed to being stubborn and self-righteous without any attempt at finding a middle ground, I wish Obama the best of luck--he''ll need it.
