Obviously Netanyahu will cooperate with Obama`s plan even though Obama painted Israel very poorly in his speech to the Muslim world.

If it could bring peace, then it`s worth a try. But if it doesn`t then the people of the world can all learn from this experience (especially Israel).

My interpretation of Obama`s speech has 500,000 Israeli settlers being forcibly removed from their homes and means of employment. I say this because Obama branded legal and illegal settlements as indistinguishable - like magic, POOF! They are all illegal.

The power and breadth of Obama`s popularity still can not be underestimated.
