U.S. must engage with the Arab League peace initiative

As I watch the sad and Ironic public "Cairo" claims of victory & by default legitimacy of Hamas; I have come to the following conclusions. Obama's interest in the middle East will not change nor will he lead any new initiative, his interests lay elsewhere. (if need be he will do his part for a status Que.) 1- the onus of leadership needs to come from Israel for peace. The reactionary posturing of the USA and Israel has led us down a dark tunnel. 2- While common sense would dictate that the rational "leader" act in the best interests of his people his methodology and actions are not judged rationally . Hamas now legitimatized methodology for terror and hiding behind women and children has been marginalized in relation to the magnitude of establishing themselves as "the Man" when it comes to the Palestinian plight.

Israel MUST stop the occupation. Must vote for Tzivi Lipni (sp?) , since the US has big, big money on her, so she'd better win. Must stop the settlements. Must integrate your schools; I was told you were a democracy. I'm a white Southerner who was in the civil rights movement, and NOW you have segregated schools? Israel must stop Jews stealing Arab homes in Jerusalem. Israel must stop getting too much aid from U.S, while denying any request we make, in regard, for example, in to the settlements. In fact, what does Israel do for U.S.? Write about that, please.

The only way for a lasting peace is to recognize each other and let go of the sad past that has hurt our people. Arabs and Israelis are neighbors for centuries and the only way out of this misery is to start engaging in a real serious negotiations that will bring the positive outcome for both sides. I pray for that day to come.

Why did Israeli taxpayer subsidized this press organ with 2 bn NIS this year, when we needed Iron Dome batteries?
