Without too much enthusiasm I watched Obama's discourse at the UN General Assembly. More interesting than to follow his sayings - and his successful for the masses body language - was to take the full advantage of the views from the meeting room: the self-sufficient skeptical faces of some delegations from the Middle East, the self-sufficient - and nothing else - gestures of the Palestinians and the tensed face of Mr. Avigdor Lieberman while listening to the translated discourse.
What was the essence of his sayings, after all? Some common truths that any bat-mitzvah-ed kid will tell it more artfully: the high security risks faced by the state of Israel because of the Palestinian terrorists, the religion of hate they imbue their children from an early age, the daily rocket rain from Hamas and their acolytes, the obvious right to exist of the state of Israel. That peace should be achieved through negotiations and dialogue between the two parts not by unilateral anarchic declarations.
Better late than never! Again, it is no secret message or fantastic change of position from the part of the White House but rather a return to common sense. Reading the daily media, the main line in most part of the American and international media in general was the pressure of the Jewish vote, following the old conspirationist patterns. I don't care about any elections or politicians, but for my friends facing daily rockets in many localities in Israel, I care about my children to be able to freely travel by bus without being scarred all the time, and about my husband too because I want to stop being worried when he's driving around the country. There are many common things that in the West people accept to ignore, but because of the blindness, indoctrination and hate against Israel and the Jews they continue to widespread lies and to support terrorism. But I am sure people could change, be better persons and read more! We'll see what the UN will bring in the following hours and days.
