Israel-Palestine: Is Peace Possible On Obama’s Watch?
“But, you say, Israel still can count on the politicians who look to AIPAC for campaign contributions… So long as there is money in it, one can count on Bob Menendez, Lindsey Graham and the like to ‘stand by Israel.’ But that will last only as long as the money is there. And that money will run out as the old Jews die off and their children chose other causes that are not morally compromising. AIPAC is the only thing that is keeping Congress in line in support of Netanyahu’s refusal to compromise with the Palestinians and his determination to destroy any chance of ending the Iran nuclear problem peacefully. Anyone who thinks that (the money flow for AIPAC purposes) will last knows nothing about the political trajectory of Jews under 70, let alone under 40. Jewish indifference is Israel’s biggest enemy and Israel, like an alcoholic who decides that he prefers drinking to abstaining, will pay the price.
“Does this mean that Jews opposed to Israel’s suicidal cause should just shut up? No, although most have. There is, after all, J Street, which struggles to turn things around but it is simply not a factor in Congress. That is not its fault. Congress is bought by AIPAC and J Street cannot outbid it. If it could Chuck Schumer would be leading the forces for peace with the Palestinians and for a deal with Iran. But that won’t happen… This is the way it will be until either the Israelis bring down its government of settlers and religious fanatics or the president decides to ignore the lobby and impose an agreement on both sides, or the Palestinians succeed in changing the situation on the ground.”
If Rosenberg is right about the process he describes as being underway in America’s Jewish community, the day IS coming when an American president WILL be able to break free from the Zionist lobby’s stranglehold on policy for the Israel-Palestine conflict.
The question is – Will it happen on Obama’s watch…?
Another question to think about is this. What could the Palestinians themselves do to improve their prospects for an acceptable measure of justice?
They could invigorate and broaden their appeal to the peoples of nations for the Zionist state to be subjected to boycott and sanctions. (Progress on this front would be assisted by pro-Palestinian activist groups everywhere campaigning in unity).
The Palestinians could also do what Israel and Obama have successfully pressed them not to do – take Israel to the International Criminal Court in the Hague, either by filing their own charges or prodding the ICC into taking action on its own initiative.
But in my view there is something else they could and should do which would change quite dramatically the political and diplomatic dynamics. They should demand the dissolution of the impotent Palestine Authority and handing back to Israel complete responsibility for its occupation. That would place considerable financial and security burdens on Israel, burdens I imagine no Israeli leader or leadership wants; and, as I have written and said several times in the past, it would make calling and holding the Zionist state to account for its crimes something less than a mission impossible.
If I was advising Abbas I would say to him: “When it is clear beyond any doubt that Israel won’t allow Kerry to bring the corpse of the peace process back to life, tell President Obama to his face that you will dissolve the PA and hand full responsibility for the occupation back to Israel. And when you’ve said that, add this: ‘Mr. President, this time I really, really, really mean what I say.’”
That might, I emphasize might, cause President Obama to reflect and conclude that he must himself do whatever is necessary to deliver peace on the basis of an acceptable amount of justice for the Palestinians and security for all – if only to best protect America’s own interests.

Alan, Kerry has to have a Head as Empty as a gourd..if he thinks for even a minute that The Palestinian People Would Ever Accept Peace with ISRAEL on the Terms B. Netty is Attempting TO Push on Them. The Ones who will eventually be Pushed Into the Sea will be These Crazy Israelis Who Persist In this Outrageous Plan. That is Just HOW it Is. If the Zionist In our country Had half a Grain of Sense..They Would Wake UP And Face this FACT And Stop Pushing For Something That Will NEVER Come to Past..under such Ridiculous pretexts. Personally, My Opinion of Kerry is that HE Is As Much A Zionist as These Traitors are ..who have infiltrated our Guvmt..AND HE, as well as THEY..MUST GO And …as for the Question.Is Peace Possible On Obamas` watch /” The Answer Only Points to A ‘NO’. After all, He Chose A Professed Zionist..WHO said ‘I am a Zionist AND Proud OF IT!” They Must Go.

Dear Hart, professor Norman Finkelstein provided an answer to your question in August 2013. During an interview with RT’s Abbe Martin, he said that Palestinians would gain nothing by “negotiating” with Israel.
And let’s not forget, Barack Obama, whose political career was groomed by Chicago’s Jewish Mafia – is not naïve to tangle with the powerful Jewish Lobby unless he wants to end up like JFK.

Before reading Rehmat’s comments, my immediate reaction was: the answer must be yes if Obama has a death wish!
What we are talking here about is the most criminal syndicate in the history of mankind. After all, it killed not just one but two US presidents and got away with it. The theft of Palestine is the ultimate heist.
However, all is not lost as there is a sign that the masses in the western world, thanks to the internet where the “syndicate” has so far failed to control the free flow of information, are awakening from their induced slumber.

Sami – For the record, several prominent Jews and Zionists have called the assassination of Barack Hussein Obama, including professor Michael Scheuer (Georgetown University), the editor of Atlanta Jewish Times, Andrew B. Alder, Jules Manson, a failed pro-Israel Tea Party candidate for local office in California and the notorious “Burn Qur’an” Zionist Christian Pastor Terry Jones.

It will be interesting to see if O,Bams has the balls to stand up to Israel and their stooge lackeys in congress. I hope so although there is probably some consternation that he might suffer a fatal :accident” if he leans on Israel to hard. Seems they,re have been many “accidents” whenIsrael does not get its way. As far as these Israeli douchebags calling in public for O,Bamas assassination and getting away with it,imagine if you or I said that in print. We would be sending the next 20 yrs in prison where the aryan brotherhood and the black p stone nation would be cutting cards to see who get to use our asshole,s for a pin cushion. Sorry to sound so crude but it is true.

this is a giant world chess game that is being played and so far, as history records, the world cannot win against the viperous chosenites. their demon state and their money masters of the world can call checkmate at any time. So to speculate and write of hypothetical scenarios is nonsensical mr hart. has any nation anywhere made any real inroads against the disgusting and conscienceless chosenites? No, the vipers have pushed ever harder in killing billions in their quest for world domination!

The jews have our president and most of congress by the testicles and they squeeze whenever convenient. Remember that next time you hear our ridiculous congress spew gibberish and lies out of their mouth. It is to save their testicles……………not the American people! They have become all treasonous scum….all due to the way the jews play the game………..bribery, manipulation, threats, intimidation, ruining career thru blackmail, etc. The lovely bunch of chosenites do know their tool to use very well goyim.. Wake up or just lay down now, take their filthy money like it will make you somebody and see what happens in the end. You still die sucker………still die.

Give the Zionists exactly what they want. All Palestine people should embrace Judaism and emigrate to Israel. They may lose their souls as a result but the thought of the Israeli leaders with their heads down the toilet may make it all worth while.
