Does anyone but me think it is amazing that the US is the mediator between the Palestinians and the Israelis? Barack Obama said this about Israel. I have found no such comparable expression of sympathy toward the Palestinian suffering at the hands of the state of Israel. “Understand this as well: America’s commitment to Israel’s security is unshakable. Our friendship with Israel is deep and enduring. And so we believe that any lasting peace must acknowledge the very real security concerns that Israel faces every single day. “Let us be honest with ourselves: Israel is surrounded by neighbors that wave waged repeated wars against it. Israel’ citizens have been killed by rockets fired at their houses and suicide bombers on tier buses. Israel’s children come of age knowing that throughout the region, other children are taught to hate them. Israel, a small country of less than eight million people, looks out at a world where leaders of much larger nations threaten to wipe it off of the map. The Jewish people carry the burden of centuries of exile and persecution, and fresh memories of knowing that six million people were killed simply because of who they are. Those are facts. They cannot be denied.”
