Obama's 'analytical' Israel policies

[shira]

1. The President believes the PA is serious about finding a solution?

Come on.

That's spin.

My take is that Obama wants a solution very much, and in order to make it so he is willing to arm Israel to the teeth (which he has been doing all along) so that Israel can then risk giving the Palestinians virtually all that they want. In case things go bad, and of course they will, Israel would still have a decided military advantage that the US will help maintain for years to come. Therefore, Obama is frustrated that Netanyahu isn't willing to cave to nearly all PA/Hamas demands. Israel wouldn't be under any threat of extinction, so why not take the leap?

The problem is no Israeli PM, not even from Meretz, can make the PA/Hamas happy enough to avoid catastrophe. The POTUS may think a war where tens of thousands dead is okay - so long as Israel remains intact - but the Israeli populace won't go for that.
