There have been a lot of "firsts" since Obama became President. Here is another one. Personally, I don't give a damn if the Arabs recognize Israel or not. That's not the point. Netanyahu is weak. Kerry and Obama are putting enormous pressure on him to make a deal with Abbas. So much so, that for the first time, the state department actually said that it doesn't matter if the "Palestinians recognize Israel as a Jewish state. They want Netanyahu to make a deal, any deal. And if this deal puts the lives of millions of Jews in Israel in peril, well so much the better. You can bet that there are plenty of Leftist Jews here in America who would agree with Kerry. These lowlifes also don't care what happens to Israel as a result of a deal. Please read the entire article below and send this to any Jew you know who still believes that Obama is a friend of Israel.

Abbas: “No Way” He’ll Recognize Jewish State, American State Dept. Spokesman: “Palestinians need not recognize the Jewish state”
The Palestinian Authority, supported by the Arab League, refuses to recognize Israel as a “Jewish state.” There are how many Islamic states?
(Reuters) – The Arab League on Sunday endorsed Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas’s rejection of Israel’s demand for recognition as a Jewish state, as U.S.-backed peace talks approach a deadline next month.
The United States want Abbas to make the concession as part of efforts to reach a “framework agreement” and extend the talks aimed at settling the decades-old Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
“The council of the Arab League confirms its support for the Palestinian leadership in its effort to end the Israeli occupation over Palestinian lands, and emphasizes its rejection of recognizing Israel as a ‘Jewish state’,” Arab foreign ministers said in a statement in Cairo.
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas rejected a key demand of the United States and Israel as part of ongoing peace talks that would lead to the creation of a Palestinian state.
Islamic Jew-hatred as a matter of policy is not news. The Muslim world has held such views for centuries, and has been waging war against the tiny Jewish state since the re-establishment of Israel in 1948. What is news is the US sanctioning and supporting such vicious Jew-hatred.
“The spokeswoman for the American State Department, Jen Psaki, stated in an interview last night (Saturday) with the “Al-Quds” newspaper that the Palestinians do not need to recognize Israel as Jewish state as part of the peace agreement if they do not wish to do so. “
Will American Jews (Democrats) continue to support this?

The spokeswoman for the American State Department, Jen Psaki, stated in an interview last night (Saturday) with the “Al-Quds” newspaper that the Palestinians do not need to recognize Israel as Jewish state as part of the peace agreement if they do not wish to do so.
In her statements to the Palestinian daily newspaper, Psaki stated that, “There is no need for the Palestinians to recognize Israel as a Jewish state. The American stance is clear in that it recognizes Israel as a Jewish state, but there is no need for the Palestinians to recognize it as such in a final agreement”.
Only yesterday the Chairman of the Palestinian Authority, Abu Mazen, stated that “there is not a chance” that he and the Palestinian nation will recognize Israel as a Jewish state. He continued to explain the statement by presenting historical examples, like the Israeli peace with Jordan and Egypt, which did not recognize Israel as a Jewish state, but still signed a peace agreement with the country. Psaki responded to those comments stating, “The relations between Israel and the Palestinians differ from Israel’s relations with the surrounding Arab nations”.
Psaki threw out this weekend’s reports in “Al-Quds” that the sides had already been presented with an initial copy of the framework agreement drafted by Secretary of State John Kerry.

“The Palestinians are not answering the difficult questions”
In an interview with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu this weekend, he addressed the question of recognizing Israel as a Jewish state, claiming that the request of the Palestinians in entirely legitimate. “The central question at the end is of course ‘Are you willing to recognize that the state of Israel is the nation state of the Jewish nation?’. If you don’t have the brunt of the agreement, then why turn to the leftovers. Concentrate on the central and difficult questions that they need to provide an answer for, but they don’t provide an answer. If they do give an answer — its negative”.
“They say that they will not recognize a Jewish state in order to leave the right of return on the table”, added Netanyahu. “So then what are we even talking about here? That a Palestinian state will be established but it will continue its conflict against the state of Israel with more preferential borders? We are a lot of things, but we are definitely not fools”.
