Speaking on a conference call with American Jewish ‘leaders,’ Dan Shapiro related Obama’s response to Israeli construction in East Jerusalem ^[1]: “This kind of activity is never helpful when it comes to peace negotiations.”

Hussein Obama has lost two major wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as every major international political confrontation. He could do no better than to hug Hugo Chavez and bow down to the Saudi king. All of his initiatives regarding Israel have failed. And yet he lectures battle-hardened Israeli politicians with decades of experience negotiating peace on how to conduct those negotiations.
