10 misconceptions behind
Obama's speech in Israel
It showed a clear lack on Obama's part to take even recent history into account. The Jews have in fact surrendered part of the Zionist vision, numerous times. The Jews did not protest when in 1922 the British lopped off two-thirds of their promised homeland to create Jordan, or in 1947 when the UN partitioned what was left of that homeland. In 1993, the Jews agreed to again relinquish those lands, and in 2005, tired of waiting for an agreement to be signed, Israel unilaterally surrendered Gaza.
Lastly, Obama showed that 10 serious misconceptions continue to undergird the international community's approach to the peace process.
But brighter minds have elaborated on these 10 misconceptions better than I could. The following video produced by the Jerusalem Institute of Justice (JIJ) doesn't mention Obama by name, but it was no accident the clip was published while Obama was in the Land.
