Obama calls on students to pressure their leaders

Speaking to a group that was mostly hand-picked students, President Obama urged his audience on Thursday to pressure their leaders to open negotiations for 'peace' with the 'Palestinians.'

"Peace is necessary. Indeed, it is the only path to true security," he said, and stressed that the only way to achieve peace is through negotiations. Obama asserted that Israel has partners for these negotiations in Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Salam Fayyad, and reiterated his belief that only a two-state solution will solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

"There is no question that Israel has faced Palestinian factions who turned to terror, and leaders who missed historic opportunities. That is why security must be at the center of any agreement. And there is no question that the only path to peace is through negotiation," he said.

The president said he recognizes the "frustrations and sacrifices that come with the pursuit of peace" but asked his listeners to consider three main points: Peace is necessary, just and possible.

"Given the demographics west of the Jordan River, the only way for Israel to endure and thrive as a Jewish and democratic state is through the realization of an independent and viable Palestine," Obama stressed.

Nonsense. That's right, nonsense. Complete and total nonsense.

"The only way to truly protect the Israeli people is through the absence of war – because no wall is high enough, and no Iron Dome is strong enough, to stop every enemy from inflicting harm," he said.

That's true. That's why we should wipe out the terrorists rather than coddling them.

He encouraged the people of Israel, and not just its leaders, to pursue peace. "Peace must be made among peoples, not just governments. No one step can change overnight what lies in the hearts and minds of millions. But progress with the Palestinians is a powerful way to begin, while sidelining extremists who thrive on conflict and division," he said.

Tell that to the 'Palestinians.'

"It is not fair that a Palestinian child cannot grow up in a state of her own, and lives with the presence of a foreign army that controls the movements of her parents every single day. It is not just when settler violence against Palestinians goes unpunished. It is not right to prevent Palestinians from farming their lands; to restrict a student’s ability to move around the West Bank; or to displace Palestinian families from their home," he added.

Lies. All lies.

Mrs. Carl told me that she was listening to the radio on her way home during Obama's speech. She said that even the Leftist radio commentators were shocked at the stridency of Obama's tone. He thought he could be nice and then slam us with this lecture. He was wrong. Goodbye Hussein Obama. We hope never to see you here again.
