Amjad Atallah, co-director of the New America’s Middle Eastern Task Force • Regarding the precarious nature of the upcoming peace talks, initiated by Obama, between Israeli and Palestinian leaders. We really hope, by the way, that this quote resurfaces ten years from now in an action movie about the Obama presidency. source
They have to give it the old college try once a decade, right? The Israelis and Palestinians reportedly plan to hold some peace talks in the U.S. under the Obama administration’s watchful eye in a couple of weeks. It’d be the first time the sides met for peace talks in over two years. You know what would really help Obama’s poll numbers and validate his Nobel Peace Prize at the same time? If he could create peace in the Middle East. Just sayin’. source
