Obama is endangering the Jewish State!
His Iranian engagement program is Fantasy,
His Middle East Program for Israel is Dangerous,
An adoption like Jimmy Carter’s weakness Program,
To draw Arab attention to shrinking U.S. Israel Support,
And U.S. willingness to accommodate Islamic Nation Goals,
In making Israel accept two state Obama and Biden Demand,
To Enhance Obama Idea It Will Help In HIS Diplomacy With Iran!

THE JERUSALEM POST
Former US House Speaker Newt Gingrich on Sunday blasted the Obama administration for setting itself on a collision course with Israel and endangering the Jewish state, ahead of his address to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).
“They are systematically setting up the most decisive confrontation that we’ve ever seen,” the leading Republican politician told The Jerusalem Post, referring to news reports about the administration’s approach to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“There’s almost an eagerness to take on the Israeli government to make a point with the Arab world,” he said, speaking to the Post ahead of his speech before the American Israel Public Affairs Committee’s annual conference.
He called US President Barack Obama’s program of engagement on Iran a “fantasy,” and his Middle East policies “very dangerous for Israel.” He summed up Obama’s approach as “the clearest adoption of weakness since Jimmy Carter.”
Instead, he maintained, the US should be sending the message to Israel that “we are for the survival of Israel” and that “we are not going to tolerate Iran getting nuclear weapons.”
He added that creating prosperity among Palestinians was important, and that the US should be helping their leaders grow their society and crowd out Hamas.
The Obama administration has also been trying to support the Fatah party as it shuns Hamas, and is looking to restart the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians in part to accomplish that end. The US government has also been focusing on engaging Iran to try
to prevent them from obtaining nuclear weapons, holding out the possibility of more economic sanctions should the diplomatic process fail.
Gingrich is touted as a possible Republican candidate in the next presidential campaign and has re-established himself as a top leader in the
Republican party as the GOP struggles to redefine its identity and appeal to voters after electoral losses this fall.
Major Democratic figures, including US Vice President Joe Biden, will be addressing the conference in the coming days.

Biden: Israel must back two states
May. 5, 2009

THE JERUSALEM POST
US Vice President Joseph Biden said Tuesday that Israel must accept a two-state solution with the Palestinians, urging Jerusalem to stop settlement growth.
“Israel has to work toward a two-state solution,” Biden told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee annual conference. “You’re not going to like my saying this, but not build more settlements, dismantle existing outposts and allow the Palestinians freedom of movement.”
He noted that President Barack Obama is “strongly and personally committed to achieving what all have basically said is needed – a two-state solution,” something he called “absolutely necessary to ensure Israel’s survival as a Jewish, democratic state.”
But Israel’s new government has so far declined to back a Palestinian state, with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu referring to formulas for Palestinian autonomy instead. Netanyahu is planning to meet with Obama and Biden on May 18, and the issue is expected to be a focus of their conversations.
Biden’s comments went farther than previous administration statements in demonstrating its demands to Israel, particularly as stated before America’s largest pro-Israel lobby.
He also referred to the ameliorative effect that a peace deal with the Palestinians could have with Iran.
Some in Israel have been worried about the administration explicitly linking the issues, and while Biden didn’t condition progress with Iran on Israeli movement with the Palestinians, he argued that making progress toward peace would help resolve the problem with Iran.
Of the many reasons to work toward Israeli-Palestinian peace, he said, “One of the most pressing reasons may be to deprive Iran of the ability to extend its destabilizing influence” by inflaming public opinion and helping rejectionist groups like Hamas and Hizbullah.
Biden reiterated that the US government was “intensely focused on avoiding the grave danger… of a nuclear armed Iran” and asserted that the administration’s new engagement strategy offered the best chance of success.
He justified the outreach as strengthening international support if engagement failed, adding, “Ladies and gentlemen, don’t kid yourselves – international support matters, as we’ve learned over the last eight years.”
He said the “Islamic republic” – a term of respect that observers have interpreted as a message that America is not seeking regime change – faced a choice.
One path would bring it into the community of nations. The other was “one of international pressure, isolation, and one which nothing is taken off the table.”
“If our efforts to address this problem through engagement are not successful, we have greater international support to consider other options,” he said to applause. “We must sometimes act alone, but it’s always stronger when we act in unison with a secure Jewish State of Israel living side by side in peace and security with a viable and independent Palestinian state. He [Obama] and I both believe that,” Biden said.
“That is also the solution that Israel and the Palestinians committed to in the road map and reaffirmed in Annapolis,” he said. “It can be achieved. It must be achieved.”
“The continuation of Israeli-Palestinian and Israeli-Arab… conflicts strengthen Iran’s strategic position. They give Iran a playing field upon which to extend its influence, sponsor extremist elements, inflame public opinion – all which are counterintuitive. It’s counterintuitive if you think about it, that Iran’s Shia influence in a Sunni Arab world would be able to be extended.
There are many reasons to pursue an end to these conflicts,” he said.
“It gives Israelis peace and security they deserve; to help the Palestinians fulfill their aspirations of an independent and better life; to ease tension in the regions – in this region,” Biden said.

Peres Tells Obama: Israel Ready for Peace with PA

President Shimon Peres told U.S. President Barack Obama Tuesday night (4 p.m. EDT) that Israel stands four-square behind American efforts to negotiate a peace agreement with the Palestinian Authority and with Syria. He also said that the Jewish state backs American efforts to use diplomacy to end the Iranian threat.
He added, “I can’t say there won’t be difficulties, but it would be a serious mistake not to take advantage of the opportunity” to reach peace agreements.
President Peres officially represents the country and not the government per se, but he has clearly stated he backs the American “two-state solution,” which Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu has refused to endorse but has not rejected.
President Barack Obama kept a low profile for his hour-long meeting with President Peres shortly after House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi met with the first Israeli leader to visit Washington.
She called President Peres a “hero” who is the “personification” of the relationship between
the United States and Israel.
President Peres returned compliments, calling her a “great friend” whose “word is a commitment” and not just an expression of politeness. She did not bring up the subject of Palestinian Authority demands, an issue that Jordan’s King Abdullah raised with her two weeks ago.
The meeting at the White House was held without cameras as the Obama administration tries to keep the glare off the visit following a one-two punch at the nearby American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) meeting, where Vice President Joe Biden and Senator John Kerry demanded that Israel stop all building in Judea and Samaria.
President Obama gave his guest a silver mezuzah case adorned with turquoise gems and in return received a peace statue of a woman holding 20 doves. An engraving on the statue read, “To President Barack Obama – a great leader who carries a great hope for the world.”
