So.. Obama pledged $30 Billion to Israel and stated that Israel MUST be the only controlling faction in Jerusalem. I guess we're in for another bumpy ride. I wish he'd pledge $30 Billion to the American homeless. That would be true change.

... sigh I need a lobby. I require mandatory 5 day weekends so I can play video games.

I'm being uncharacteristically optimistic here - given that the last AIPAC conference was in June, his stance may have changed. It's entirely possible the stance may NOT have changed, but we'll know in a few days.

America has traditionally been an ally of Israel since the founding of the Israeli state, and I don't find it at all surprising that Obama would call for keeping Jerusalem as the undivided capitol of Israel (to do anything else would be to invite Israel to use all those weapons we gave them against us, honestly).

This war over worthless real estate needs to stop, but I don't know how anyone can convince either side to give up what amounts to one of their holiest sites short of a fascist abolition of all religious states. That solution would be as bad as or worse than the problem, so we'll have to see what happens.

Except for Hormel, the JOOOOZ run it all!
