Palestinians losing faith in Obama administration, poll finds

Time to close down the Islamofascist CAIR and all it,s affiliates as the USA is built on Christian principles ,whether Barack Hussein Obama ,believes it or not?

Hamas has been holding onto Gilad Shalit now for over 3 years. They are no closer to getting their 3 murderer compatriots out of Israeli jail. And yet they refuse to allow for 3 other jailed Palestinians to be released along with 997 others. So Hamas being Hamas proves once again that they have no brain and no compassion for 1000 Palestinian families. And by the way..if the prisoner swap finally gets done...Israel starts to lift the embargo. But that is also not in Hamas' better interest. They make more tax money with the smuggling tunnels.

...The number of those who saw armed struggle as the best way of ending Israel's occupation of the West Bank stood at close to 30 percent, while 22 percent preferred "peaceful popular resistance... I think not, Haaretz. From the Palestinian Public Opinion Poll # 32: question # 55: Do you support or oppose the launching of rockets from the Gaza Strip against towns and cities inside Israel, such as Sderot and Ashkelon? Certainly support: 14.8% Support: 35.8% That is 50.6 % Excuse me, but why are you publishing misleading information ?

He's definitely doing something right. Both sides will experience discomfort in coming to a just solution.

He never loses- ask the Clintons, McCain, and the anti healthcare/anti Wall Street reform Republicans. Like you, all of those losers believed Obama's goals were above his pay grade.

we need to put Israel's nuts in a vice and start turning it tighter and tighter untill they start to really feel the pain. Israel is a country full of ignorant people who think they can do anything they want with the right spin. Stop building (but not really) we give and give ( we alway take way more they we give) I think that Israel has told so many lie's for so long they are starting to belive them themselfs

Even if Obama had the desire to force a peace that wasn't on AIPAC's terms -- and he has no such desire -- he wouldn't have the courage to do so.

"armed struggle as the best way of [never] ending Israel's occupation The best way of ending the occupation is stopping The demand for Jerusalem. That is the shortest road to the two state solution

Then withdraw to 1967 and then to 1948 and then to 1920 and still no peace.

American presidents tend to take bold measures in their second term when they do not have to worry about running for re-election. Should Obama win a second term, Israel will probably encounter serious American pressure besides the rhetorics.

Forced peace doesn't work. It never worked. Ever, unless one of the parties (the individual or the group) fades off. Other than this, don't expect much.

the task of peace in the Middle East. It is above Obama's pay grade !

To be quite honest the concern should be who has the Iraqi nukes that no one could get to. They are still unclaimed and in Iraq. No one could get the files for them and they were word passed on location and codes. So who holds Iraq in peace holds those nukes. IF Israel holds the enemies of Iran and if Iran holds its peaceful survivors and there is a president then the two Houses dont collide. For instance five royal houses hold Israel and five royal houses hold Iran. Then there will be peace. Russia always controls Syrian politics all the way back to the CZARS that area Russian. Russia apart of both houses. Karoon-Rankoo

Are the palestinians 'losing faith' in the Obama administration or in their illusions ! What one expect if he keep doing his sums wrong ? One if not blaming himself one accuse others for his mistakes. Whether the palestinians like it or not the only way is to face facts. This conflict is crying for facing facts ! The return of the poor refugees who are kept in their long limbo for all this years is wrong. Jerusalem will never be a capital for palestine. The forces of history is against such a solution. It never was before & it can't happen now or in the future. The security of israel, like the security of any other country, is high on the agenda of any country & israel can't be blamed. It can't other than illusion to find a half way to solve these three problems. These are three core issues no administration can play around with them ! Another intifatha the same of the old thing ! More wars with Arab Counties something tried & failed & it will keep failing.

Menachem Begin was the leader of the outlawed "Irgun" who committed atrocities by throwing bombs into open markets amongst other vile terrorist acts. Yitzak Shamir had the following to say about terrorism. "Neither Jewish ethics nor Jewish tradition can disqualify terrorism as a means of combat. We are very far from having any moral qualms as far as our national war goes. We have before us the command of the Torah, whose morality surpasses that of any other body of laws in the world: "Ye shall blot them out to the last man." We are particularly far from having any qualms with regard to the enemy, whose moral degradation is universally admitted here. But first and foremost, terrorism is for us a part of the political battle being conducted under the present circumstances, and it has a great part to play: speaking in a clear voice to the whole world, as well as to our wretched brethren outside this land, it proclaims our war against the occupier."

I still have strong faith that Obama will put AIPAC, a foreign agent lobbyist organization, out of business once and for all. I also have faith that Obama will apply stronger american pressure on israel to force them to withdraw from the west bank and east jerusalem. Its just a matter of time and Israel knows it.

Please keep in mind that the withdraw from Gaza was unilateral by Sharon then. He left vacuum in Gaza and well you know what happened after that. This time the Palestinian force is 80,000 strong and they have been very successful at preventing all suicide attacks so far. The WB has been involved with non-violence resistance so far.

Jason, help me understand who you think Hamas is and who they represent. Are those people claiming within and represent Hamas, independent Arabs with no Islamic indoctrinations, or just another dysfunctional tribe of Ishmael descendants. I believe that true cousins of Isaac would seek peace without conflict, if external pressure is not interferring with a meaningful dialogue of reconcilliation of family disputes. But, I've seen and heard the ignorance of those behind many true peace negotiators. Worry not in the end, the real peacemakers are called the Sons of God, the only rod they carry is truth. The enforcers of that truth are on their way. Pray for all who disbelieved and were lost but are now on their way to being found. Peace be with you. Jason.

Not only Jews ? Strange, in fact we never trusted Obama.

How could a terror group be credible in making such statements. These are murderers of innocent people & you are saying that Hammas is right? Would you like one of your innocent family members to be kidnapped & blackmailed, murdered, or killed when on vacation because they are under the impression that 'the koran says so'?? Get real & think again.

Do you remember what happened after Israel withdrew the forces from Gaza? Well,let me remind you just in case if you forgot. Rockets fallen down on Israel

state of the US. We are a free, independent, proud and democratic country with our own interests in mind. We respects our friends but we won't be coerced. Eretz Israel le'Am Israel.

No one in America has the stomach for taking on the Jews, no one.

Recent happenings in particular would indicate that trust may not have been been misplaced. Little doubt exists now that during his initial and maybe only term Obama is determined to make a Palestinian State a reality. He has lots of time to do just that and so far he has displayed great resolve. Let events play themselves out and it's unlikely Palestinians will be disappointed with the results.

DRugs smuggled instead of food and medicine to dope up the population. They have teached a point they will say anytning. That is what the leadership wants

I strongly believe that many palestinians have unusual wishful thinking.

together with the release of some palestinian prisoners, and watch the same poll numbers climb to 80% hope in the peace process.

Hamas has always said that Israel has no genuine interest in peace with the Palestinians. Maybe they are right.

In the end, Obama must get Israeli cooperation, willing or unwilling, in order to help the Palestinians. Currently, the Israeli government will oppose any American efforts to change the status quo. Obama has some things he can do to change that, but he hasn't done them yet. One gets the feeling that lots of talk has taken place under cover, between American and Israeli governments. It is likely that the friction between America and Israel will get worse before it gets better. This is a good thing, since it forces those wearing masks to remove them and show their true face.

Obama is sucking up to Congress Congress is sucking up to AIPAC+ Co. AIPAC+ is sucking up to Israeli right wing fanatics. Right wing fanatics are sucking up to expansive Zionism!

meaning negotiations with Israel. Obamas' blah, blah, blahs will eventually wake up Americans from its malaise from lacking the moral fiber necessary to ultimately defend itself from an internal threat to our national security. Like the promised return of the Jews to Israel and recapturing Jerusalem, Americans will awaken from their nap and return to our founding fathers priniciples of governing, being not afraid of the bully government, by returning Washington D.C. back to the people by a resounding vote of no confidence, against a new bully pulpit mired in its subliminal zeal to institute Islamic law. Rather than protecting our God given rights through our Contitutional provisions against such threats to our national security.

I knew this a year ago. By raising hopes among Arabs and Islamists, Obama guaranteed that they would hate America even more. Israel isn't going to roll over and play dead, which is what the Arab side so desires, so there were only two remaining possibilities: 1) The Arabs would say that America CANNOT deliver Israel to them because America is weak, or 2) The Arabs would say that America doesn't WANT to deliver Israel to them because America is anti-Arab. Either way, the Arab and Islamic world will see even less reason to respect the USA and cooperate with Uncle Sam. Here we are, a year later, and - surprise! - the Arabs are unhappy with President Hussein-Obama - the best friends the Arabs ever had in the White House. The reputation of the USA is in decline and BHO is doing everything to make it even worse. This demonstrates Obama's naive approach to foreign affairs - hey it's not the Chicago City Council out there anymore! It's the real world! He still doesn't get it.

Ofcourse Haaretz could have headlined 70% of Palestinians do not believe in violence to end"occupation".

If they work hard enough, maybe they can get us into a war with Iran. The tail is wagging the dog.
