The decades of diplomatic initiatives by the United States, also the principal ally of the Jewish state, for a peaceful resolution for the conflict has continued to be unsuccessful, although analysts have pointed out the grudging, although gradual acceptance among the Arab nations of Israel's right to exist, which stands in stark contrast to the earlier pledges of annihilating the Jewish nation.
As the Israelis continue to trumpet its ancestral and biblical rights for this land, the Palestinians are equally vociferous in their claim, backed by legal and historical precedents. As the Israelis continue their settlement programs in disputed areas, so has the Hamas responded with their acts of violence against the Jewish state. As the Israelis reacts with yet another round of excessive response to these attacks, so has the international community castigated them for their brutality. As the Israelis and Palestinian Authority entered into the negotiating table, so have the both of them unilaterally decide to leave for the umpteenth time.

Obama Position on Israel
|
• Barack Obama states that the only way for Israel to achieve peace with their neighbors is to
"begin with a clear and strong commitment to the security of Israel".
• Obama criticized those who denied the Holocaust, yet he supports talks with the Iranian
President Ahmadinejad, who also denies the holocaust and eventually promises that a new one would
come.
• Obama has praised past Israeli leaders for their kind gestures of peace towards Palestinians but
refused to recognize their earlier attempts that led to violence and death of Israelis.
• Barack Obama mentions that he is in support of resumption of the aid to the Palestinian
government with a condition that the government 'renounces terrorism'.
• Obama opines thus, "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people." He has declared
recently in his speech ?our enemies are not just terrorists, it's not just Hezbollah, it's not just
Hamas, and it?s also cynicism."
• Obama contends that there is a need to preserve Israel as a Jewish state though it has its
politicians and its security as well.
• With regard to the security of Israel Barack Obama stated, "you will not see, under my
presidency, any slackening in commitment to Israel?s security."
• Obama stood strong with regard to Israel's right to defend itself from the rocket attacks and
raids of Hezbollah.
• He hates characterization and rejects the term apartheid in any discussion with regard to
Israel's progress.
