Obama to AIPAC & Jewish leaders: I will continue to publicly turn the screws on IsraeL

U.S. President Barack Obama met yesterday for the first time with 15
American Jewish leaders at the White House, for talks aimed at clearing the
air following allegations that his administration was taking a tough line
with Israel over settlement activity.

At the meeting, Obama told the leaders that he wants to help Israel overcome
its demographic problem by reaching an agreement on a two-state solution,
but that in order to do so, Israel would need "to engage in serious
self-reflection."

On the Iranian nuclear issue, Obama told the leaders that "the door to
dialogue is open. If the Iranians do not walk through it, however, we will
have to see how we proceed. But it would be a mistake to talk now about what
we're going to do and how we're going to do it."

One of the participants at the meeting asked the president to take a lower
profile regarding the public differences between his administration and the
government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over the United States'
demand that Israel freeze all settlement construction activity in the West
Bank. "This situation is not helpful," he told the president, who rejected
the request, saying that during the eight years of the Bush administration,
such disagreements were never made public but that such an approach was not
helpful in advancing the peace process.

Obama added that there is a narrow window of opportunity for advancing the
peace process and that he plans to speak openly and honestly with Israel -
"a true friend of the U.S." - just as he did with the Arab nations in his
speech at Cairo University in June.

Among the groups attending the meeting were the American Israel Public
Affairs Committee, the Anti-Defamation League, Hadassah, the Jewish Council
for Public Affairs, the National Jewish Democratic Council, the Orthodox
Union, the United Jewish Communities, the Union for Reform Judaism, the
United Synagogue of Conservative Judaism, the American Jewish Committee and
the Conference of Presidents of Major Jewish Organizations, which is led by
long-time Obama acquaintance Alan Solow, who requested the meeting.

Jeremy Ben-Ami, executive director of J Street, who also attended the
meeting, said afterwards that he believed that President Obama was asserting
positions aimed at achieving two states for two peoples, a stance he claimed
is supported by the majority of the Jewish community in the United States
that voted for Obama.

You Go Obama! Tell it like we want it-Israel must put a mirror up to itself, "...Israel would need "to engage in serious self-reflection.""

and then we lock up the ones responsible for human rights violations as well as murder, theft of someone else's land and more.
