In Cairo, Barack Obama has blown hot and cold on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict he sees as the second source of tension between the U.S. And the Muslim World. For the Palestinians, he said that violence is a dead end and the Israelis, he said it was time to stop the settlements.
Both parties, he said America’s support of a two-state solution. This is actually Israel’s interest, that of Palestine, that of America and the World. And that is why I intend to personally pursue this with patience and dedication that the job needs, solemnly declared Barack Obama..
President Barack Obama. The second source of tension that we must discuss the situation between Israelis, Palestinians and the Arab World. The strong ties that unite Israel and America are well known. These are inalienable. These links are based on cultural and historical ties and the recognition that the desire for a Jewish homeland is rooted in a tragic history that can not be denied.
Around the world, Jews were persecuted for centuries and anti-Semitism in Europe culminated in an unprecedented event: the Holocaust. Tomorrow I will visit Buchenwald, which was part of a network of camps where Jews were enslaved, tortured, beaten and gassed by the Third Reich.
6 million Jews died – more than the entire Jewish population of Israel today. To deny this is baseless, ignorant and hateful. Threaten Israel with destruction or repeat vile stereotypes about Jews is deeply wrong and only serves to evoke in the minds of Israelis these memories very away from this painful fact that the peace the people of this region deserves..
