Obama demands Israel stop construction in West Bank, Israel rejects

President Obama is like a young lady in a beauty pagent. He wants "world peace." Well, he is actually after Middle Eastern peace between Israel and Palestine. The problem is that both sides have been fighting since the time of Mohammed, if not the time of Jesus. It's a little difficult to say "all is good" after thousands of years.

Obama wants all construction stopped by the Israelis in the West Bank. He wants the West Bank and the Gaza Strip to become the nation of Palestine. The thing is, if that comes to be, I bet the Palestinians will want more land, and eventually all of what is today Israel.

It is clear that Obama is siding with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas when it comes to Israeli-Palestinian relations. I don't think Obama would care if Palestine wiped out Israel. The odd thing is that Obama appears to think that he is in control of the situation. Shouldn't it really be between Israel and Palestine?
