Israelis were once again left dumbfounded by the behavior of the American Administration after US President Barack Obama on Monday appeared to be using Hamas terrorism as leverage to get Israel to resume peace negotiations under Palestinian terms.
President Obama dropped his bombshell, suggesting that he’d only press the issue of Gaza’s disarmament in the context of a final status peace agreement between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. The latest round of US-brokered peace talks broke down after the PA unilaterally sought UN recognition outside the framework of an agreement.
“The President stressed the US view that, ultimately, any lasting solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict must ensure the disarmament of terrorist groups and the demilitarization of Gaza,” the White House press secretary announced.
What is really angering a lot of Israelis is the fact that the demilitarization of Gaza was a primary Palestinian obligation when the so-called “Oslo Accords” were signed 20 years ago, as Israeli Intelligence Minister Yuval Steinitz has pointed out in a number of recent interviews and press briefings.
“Gaza was supposed to be totally demilitarized. That is a Palestinian commitment signed on the White House lawn 20 years ago,” Steinitz told CNN, noting that former President Bill Clinton and those involved at the time all recognized the necessity of disarming Gaza as a fundamental step toward peace.
That Obama is now using, and allowing the Palestinian Authority to use the overly exaggerated militarization of Gaza as leverage against Israel is further proof to many Israelis that the American government cannot be trusted to honor or guarantee any agreement signed by the Jewish state.

HISTORY
No one considers history as if it does not exist. Can you negotiate with terrorists, which Yasser Arafat was? Now Abbas joined Hamas and all is but alas... regretful.
Starting with 70 AD to 1947-48 the Arab Israeli war of independence. May 15 1948 the State of Israel is born. Six Days War 1967, Yom Kippur War 1973, Lebanon War, giving up of Gaza, war with Hezbollah.
Just look at the history and learn the truth. Politics is not about sides that whichever side splashes is favored. That's what Obama is doing favoring the terrorists who have proven their murderous tactics. To those people life has but a little if not at all. This screwed up mentality is just a game. Scoring a victory by blowing up people, all for public opinion and to raise Arab outcry.
[Isaiah 59:8] They do not know the way of peace, And there is no justice in their tracks; They have made their paths crooked, Whoever treads on them does not know peace.
