Sunday, May 22, 2011 7:45 a.m. Later today President Barack Obama will speak at the American Israel Public Affairs Conference (AIPAC) annual policy forum. It will decidedly be the most skeptical Jewish audience he has ever faced. With his speech last week, he set himself up for an unlikely cold reception – despite what we will be dutifully polite applause. (But let’s see if the 500 or so usual college students there are polite about it). That is tragic because the truth is most American and Israeli Jews (definitely not all) agree with large chunks of the president’s recent comments on the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.

Hey, Neil:
Bet this would not have happened if Rom Emanuel was still Chief of Staff.
For the folks that hated everything Bush did it seem hypocritical that these same folks use Bush as a precidence to justiy Obama’s foot in the mouth statements.
Thank G-d Bibi is a statesman. 242 & 338 was ” return of territory” for peace. Territory has been given up and the Palestinians have yet to form a viable gov’t to rule their daily lives. Heck if the student body at the University of Maryland can do it every year then peace should have been achieved after years ago. The folks that keep saying that Israel should continue to give up land for peace with no peace being received stupid. He does not learn from history is doomed to repeat it. Reminds me of the famous t-shirt with Rabin &  Sitting Bull:
“Land for peace does not work”.
