Obama Tells Israelis What They've Been Waiting to Hear
(Jerusalem Post) Herb Keinon - It took some 34 months, but on Wednesday at the UN Israel finally heard the speech it wanted to hear from President Obama. This was a dose of empathy and understanding Obama had not articulated strongly in the past. Obama did not jettison his desire to see a Palestinian state, he just gave articulate expression to the truth that it will only come about through talks. He acknowledged that there were no shortcuts, and even spoke of the need for the Palestinians to compromise as well.
