According to the CBC: Obama says Palestine statehood will take compromise
U.S. President Barack Obama says there is no short cut to resolving the decades-old conflict between the Israelis and the Palestinians.
In a speech to the UN General Assembly, Obama expresses frustration at the failure of both parties to bridge their differences and at the Palestinian leader for planning to seek a declaration of statehood through the Security Council. The U.S. has said it will veto such an effort.
Obama said Palestinians deserve to live in a sovereign state of their own, and their vision has been delayed too long. But a genuine peace will only come through compromise and negotiation, he said.
Zero still hasn’t learned it takes two sides to negotiate. The Palestinians have been trying it for decades and Israel keeps reneging on agreements. The reality is the Likud don’t want to negotiate until after they have plundered everything of value in the West Bank, and then they will offer the Palestinians small islands of poverty.
One would have thought that Zero would have learned something from trying to negotiate with the Republicans, but apparently not.
