Jerusalemites’ opine about Obama4:31 pm Wednesday, September 23, 2009by stacey palevsky While reading Jewschool today, I happened upon two very interesting/compelling videos in which journalists interivew citizens of Jerusalem about their thoughts on President Obama and the settlements. Most don't like the former, but like the latter. They're particularly interesting now, as Obama is getting ready to host Israeli and Palestinian leaders for a meeting to jumpstart peace talks. The first video is more recent:
The second one is from the summer. Please note that in the last minute of this video, there are a few expletives, so stop the video if you do not want to hear them. Permalink Leave a comment Spread the Word E-mail a friend

Hamas announced that it will not allow elections in Gaza. Since its beginning it clearly stated that the only solution is the replacement of the Zionist entity with Islamic Palestine.
The Palestinian Authority can agree to peace, but it cannot make Hamas accept it. It will not agree to make a separate peace without Gaza.
So who should talk to whom in the peace process? Israel accepted a two state solution a long time ago, and so did the Palestinian Authority. Now, what about Hamas? I can’t say let’s forget about Hamas because I myself had to duck their rockets just a few months ago.
