U.S. president promotes compromise as key to Palestinian statehood
http://www.cbc.ca/news/world/story/2011/09/21/obama-un-abbas-netanyahu.htmlI hope that Abbas carries through with his request to the UN. However Obama is correct. A vote at the UN in favour of Palestine will not change the facts on the ground. Only a deal with Isreal will. I also think that this pressure on Isreal to make a deal is the real point to all this. Isreal is being put in the spot light as the real impetus of peace in the region. Why dont we pressure Isreal for a change? Im sure Turkey would like to become our main stable ally in the region. How would Isreal like to loose a little military aid? Never going to happen... but one can wish.
I cant help but be impressed by Obamas speechs. That guy can make his point. Im still pro palestine here.
On an unrelated note.. has anyone else notice how much older Obama is looking. that job adds ten years
