Obama And The Settlements

By The Daily Dish

Goldblog remembers something called a campaign promise. Which Obama is following:

I want to solve the problem, and so my job in being a friend to Israel is partly to hold up a mirror and tell the truth and say if Israel is building settlements without any regard to the effects that this has on the peace process, then we're going to be stuck in the same status quo that we've been stuck in for decades now, and that won't lift that existential dread.

That's my conviction too.
