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
every response that came from Palestinian leadership was that the Obama speech was pro-Israel and that it did not at all connect to the Palestinian crisis.

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.
