CNN News: Reports that under the Obama Administration the USA is still to support a two state solution to the conflict between Israel and the Palestinians. At the end of the day Israel has the final vote, it gets to decide if it wants a dangerous Palestinian State as a neighbour. The Obama Administration can huff and buff and use as many words at it wants, Israel gets the final veto. To miss quote President Obama and his statement that words must mean something, if Israel says NO its over, does not matter how many times Obama makes a speech or statement on the issue. The Israeli Lobby is powerful in the USA and in the Democratic Party. In 2012 Obama might need Florida, they are lot of elderly people living in Florida who happen to be Jewish. Thus Obama can only go so far, this is why US Presidents leave this issue for the second term, Bill Clinton was legacy hunting in the Middle East after the Impeachment, it didn't do him any good either, Israel and the Palestinians is not Northern Ireland, they have been fighting a few thousand years before Ireland was Ireland.
