So do I,but I hardly think the Israelis can be blamed for the Arabs attacking them in 67.

Egypt amassed 1,000 tanks and nearly 100,000 soldiers on the Israeli border[9] and closed the Straits of Tiran to all ships flying Israeli flags or carrying strategic materials, receiving strong support from other Arab countries.[10] Israel responded with a similar mobilisation that included the call up of 70,000 reservists to augment the regular IDF forces.[11]

But it will backfire big time, the norge have got it so wrong, he is no different than all the last numbnut presidents.

So true,at the same time I think Israel would be glad if they buggered off and left the to get on with some productive activities.
I suspect if they had the land returned,it would quickly return to desert.

I remember that happening. The reason they attacked first was for the reasons that Cicero has stated.

No one blamed them at all!!

I always support the oppressed and under dog people over bullies.

No they have a hate Jews position and until they change that there will never be peace in the middle east. If the Muslims had their way it would make what the Nazis did to the Jews a Sunday school picnic..

818523 2009-10-09 23:38:00 Wow, such a lot of negativity on here about Obama! Can anyone suggest anyone else for the 2009 Nobel Peace Award? Maybe the Nobel committee couldn't think of anyone else either. Obama is comletely committed to gaining a peaceful solution to the Middle East situation. I don't know that anyone else is.
