I am somwhat amused by the naive expectation of President Obama that there will ever be lasting peace in the Middle East, particularly between Israel and Palestine. I am even more amused that he thinks he will be the one to bring about this peace. I wonder if he has looked into the history of this part of the world, and if so, did he just overlook the fact that they have effectively been at war (in one way or another) for thousands of years?
These two groups of people- Israeli's and Palestinians- have a bloodline stemming from the very same person. Two nationalities, one Patriarch. Both of these peoples feel they have the exclusive right to the Fertile Crescent. Both of them believe the other should be destroyed. Both of them will not give up. What President Obama fails to see, is that, this feud is far greater than Gaza. It is more far-reaching than one presidency, than one man, than even the world!
Many US Presidents have tried to bring about peace in the Middle East (some of them far better men, both politically and spiritually, than Mr. Obama), but all have failed. This in not going to change, not without divine intervention- and this is coming. Maybe, instead of trying to fix the world, the Obama Administration should focus on trying to fix America.
Mr. Obama's speech to the UN General Assembly was very insistent on this peace thing. I fail to see how this peace is going to become either a reality, or a good thing. I don't like war, but somehow I think that war helps to keep our world balanced. If we achieved a truly world wide peace, I believe the only logical next step would be world wide destruction.
Mr. Obama, please work on fixing your own country before trying to fix the rest of the world.
