Obama's moral equivalency

Obama has chosen the path of moral equivalency. He equates Palestinian "encitement" with settlement growth by Israel. It's not INCITEMENT though. It's terrorism. He studiously avoids that word.
. Furthermore, Abbas is "king over nothing". He has no control whatsoever over Gaza and is losing more and more control in Judea and Samaria ( Netanyahu and Abbas could come to terms on virtually every point of discussion. Abbas has no way of delivering
anything because he's not in control. So there really is no use in negotiating at the present time. Any concessions on Israel's part today, would be the starting point for new negotiations if Hamas ever decided to come to the table, and they'd want much more (like destroying all of Israel?,

You can't equate the Gazan boy without water and country to the Israeli girl in Sderot. To the left it sounds heartless, but the Gazan boy has a choice (or more precisely, his parents do), while the Israeli girl has none. She has no control over the rockets. Indeed, her government gave Gaza to the Palestinians with no preconditions The Gazan boy's parents had some control over getting less of a country, and picking a government that would make water a priority over firing rockets into Israel.
