« UN Showdown | Main | Abbas Has Made Up His Mind » Obama Gives Pro Israel Speech
By Micah Halpern
Thursday September 22, 2011 I've Been Thinking: United States President Obama addressed the United Nations General Assembly yesterday. The response was predictable. The Israelis loved the speech, the Palestinians did not. The Israeli interpretation of the Obama speech is that the president of the United States really understands the issues they confront and that he outlined the US perspective, which is in tandem with the Israeli perspective. The Palestinians saw it as a "pro Israel speech." Across the board Obama said that the way forward is through direct talks and negotiations. He said that votes do not create a state. Who knows where we are going now. Abbas is scheduled to speak on Friday - you can bet that after hearing Obama speak, the Palestinians are sitting down to rework and significantly alter the Abbas speech. Read my new book THUGS.
