But all of that was a pre-condition of Oslo, Wye etc. So that is the end of the 'peace process' that never was! Bear in mind that Jewish settlement is not only legal but to be encouraged. International Law is very clear on this. Check out the 1919 Paris agreement (Weizmann and King Feisal) and the 1922 British Mandate to Palestine. Unfortunately, with Obama, we have a racist, an anti-semite and an advocate of apartheid for the Jews!

Everything speaks, beginning with where you choose to speak. Why talk in Cairo ? No chance choice --- cairo's today's keypoint of the Arab Quisling collab with israel. Speaking there is speaking from the bridgehead of the Invason. Who's the Great White Thief to tell Hamas to lay down arms ? It's the same advice he just gave the Tigers in sri lanka as only answer to their last appeal to him to urge a ceasefire before they were massacred, even the young men who were trying in vain to run away from the army's guns, while the Great White Thief watched, hands clean as Pilate, & still keeps silent before the ongoing army deathdance. Who's he to lecture the Arabs about the Holocaust ? They didn't cause it, tho' they've been made to pay for it by him & his kind. i'm sick of hearing of the Holocaust ---- it's the dead mountain coming down upon today's living, struggling Creation, burying whole nations & worlds alive. Whenever this man opens his mouth to speak, it's a knell for those he faces. His words just now on the slaying of Dr. Tiller, the dedicated abortionist, tolled the bell, not for the gloating murderers, but for the cause of woman's fundamental right to abortion which the doctor worked humbly & tirelessly for all his life. Only history Malcolm X was wrong about was when he said the chickens were coming home to roost. The chickens had already been brought to Turtle Island by the first white man. mikeR has no use for illusions, & Ted Sky rips off the veils !!

Who’s the Great White Thief to tell Hamas to lay down arms ? It’s the same advice he just gave the Tigers in sri lanka as only answer to their last appeal to him to urge a ceasefire before they were massacred, even the young men who were trying in vain to run away from the army’s guns, while the Great White Thief watched, hands clean as Pilate, & still keeps silent before the ongoing army deathdance.

Who’s he to lecture the Arabs about the Holocaust ? They didn’t cause it, tho’ they’ve been made to pay for it by him & his kind. i’m sick of hearing of the Holocaust —- it’s the dead mountain coming down upon today’s living, struggling Creation, burying whole nations & worlds alive.

Whenever this man opens his mouth to speak, it’s a knell for those he faces. His words just now on the slaying of Dr. Tiller, the dedicated abortionist, tolled the bell, not for the gloating murderers, but for the cause of woman’s fundamental right to abortion which the doctor worked humbly & tirelessly for all his life.

Only history Malcolm X was wrong about was when he said the chickens were coming home to roost. The chickens had already been brought to Turtle Island by the first white man.

While we continue the slaughter of innocent people in Iraq, and take the slaughter up in Afganistan since Obama took office, he holds out a open hand to the Arab world? He talks about democracy and freedom, yet we still hold people without being charged at Gitmo? Israel attacks Palestinians using phosphorus weapons, and we stand by their side? If anyone in the Arab world thinks that a speech means anything, they are fools, and so are you. Obama has picked up where Bush left off. Nothing has changed. It is a good-cop/bad-cop scam that we get suckered into every four years. This road we are on started with Bush 1, was furthered by Clinton, put into high gear by Bush2. Now Obama talks about "preventative detetion." If you think the infrastructure for tyranny has just been about "terrorists," wake up. It is for us, and the chickens will be coming home to roost sooner than you think. This is laughable.

After all wasn't it Israel which was selling mortgages to home owners in the occupied territories just as soon as they were done demolishing them. That being said the symbolism has to be worth something. John,

At least he is someone who will talk about human rights issues openly; women's rights, torture, Dalfur, Sudan, rights of Palestinians and Israelies. The speech is a start. Human beings have to do the work of peace and human rights. Most politicians in my opinion could care less. For now, I believe he and Michelle care about changing the world for the better. I just hope they can keep up the pace they are working. I am hopeful.

Have nothing to say to those who can still talk of Sadat as if he wasn't the start of Egypt's fall from "nationalism" into dictatorship & its collaboration with the Western camp. Those who like to sift thru webs of illusion all day, welcome to your dusty beds. For me a single new word coined by obama's gang in dc is the only illuminating key to what's already here & now : "Afpak". Dont give a damn for either Obama’s talk or the Arab reaction.
