Recognition of the Right to Exist

President Obama will be making a speech today about the Middle East. Again, there will be U.S. encouragement for democracy and for a re-start of Palestinian/Israeli dialogue. I hope his message is this...Without recognition of Israel, the only real democracy in the region, and its right to exist among nations, without respect for its sovereignty, there can be no Peace. Israel is a willing partner for peace, but not at the expense of its existence and security. No other message or nuance or beating around the bush can be acceptable. The new coalition in Palestine includes a group that swears to the destruction of Israel. The only real American goal must be to eliminate the existential threat to our ally before real talks begin. This is what is right, moral and imperative. Where are you Americans for reason and truth?
