that Obama has concerns about Israeli soldiers being harmed if they INVADE Palestine again. He should tell them to STAY OUT and both sides get to the negotiating table.

Can't stand the Dem posture on this issue.

Now you're just being silly.

certainly agree with you here. The only way they can take care of Hamas is to send in ground forces, instead of killing innocent civilians. Their lives should mean just as much as innocent Israeli lives. President Obama needs to lead on this issue instead of giving Israel a blank check. You either go all in or you don't. What needs to be done is order both sides to cease fire and send people directly in to settle the problem.

The United States needs to reopen negotiatiions and make both sides come to the table, just like President Clinton was doing before his second term ended. Clinton ran out of time before he got this done. Obama needs to pick it back up. He needs to get a two state solution period and not just wish it would happen. As far as I'm concerned, the United States does have all the cards if they would use them. They can pressure Israel, the Palestinians and the Egyptians. Everyone of the participants depend on U.S. assistance in some form.

We need a much more hands-off foreign policy. Picking sides in these conflicts is what always gets us into entanglements. What we should be doing is ending all foreign military aid worldwide. If these countries want to fight each other, let them do it with their own money. Sick of us propping up all these elitists while the average working class person suffers.

They are like a bunch of rowdy school kids.

Though I fear your humor will be lost on some here.

His Majesty's government view with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.[1]

and her right to defend herself in a hostile territory, it appears that President Obama does not want Israel to begin a war against Palestine. And that's a good thing.

anything to build a scandal and impeach him on. They are a pack of rabid dogs.

Obama's got this.

on what the Republicans MIGHT do? That's a pretty damned weak position.

And, as usual, Obama has put his best people on it. There will be an outcome.

I repeat, there WILL be an outcome. Things just keep moving incrementally excremental. But not to worry.

resigned during the * administration, it's times like these when those resignations are deeply felt. Not to mention the loss of one of our greatest: Richard Holbrooke. Where is our S.O.S. on this? This situation has already escalated greatly in just a matter of days and it shows no sign of slowing down unless there is an intervention allowing for a cease fire.
