You would think after six decades of dispossession, four decades of occupation and two decades of peace processes that President Obama would recognise a political and moral discrepancy that needs fixing.
That he would underline, not undermine, his own words uttered in Cairo a year and a half ago about the need for Israel to stop its illegal settlements in Palestine.
That he would underline, not undermine his own projection- read promise- from the same podium last September of a Palestinian state within a year, meaning this week.
That he would underline, not undermine, his own rhetoric about freedom in the Arab region. Or that he would underline, not undermine, his own opening emphasis about a peace based on withdrawal, not more of the same logic of war.
Alas, President Obama undermined his entire "change we can believe in" slogan. His narrative is inspired by the worst of Israel's official propaganda. Indeed, much of it is cut and pasted from their playbook.
He spoke of historical "facts" that have long been repudiated by Israeli historians, and of truths that are nothing more than one sided interpretations of a political situation.
Obama claimed that the Arabs launched wars against Israel. But, in actual fact, Israel is the aggressor, launching or instigating wars in: 1956, 1967, 1982, 2006 and 2008. Only the 1973 war was launched by Arabs, but only to recuperate occupied territories after the US and Israel rejected Anwar Sadat's peace overtures.

RAMALLAH, West Bank — President Barack Obama’s opposition to the Palestinians’ bid for membership of the United Nations is turning their deep disappointment with his Middle East policy to outright anger. The burning of an American flag during a protest this week was an isolated incident, but one which captured a mood.
President Barack Obama Wednesday hailed the uprisings in the Arab world that have brought down dictators but urged the Palestinians to back away from a vote to recognize them as an independent country.
"Mr. President,
The Arab world is experiencing a time of epic transformation.
Few believed the streets of Tunis would rebel in their lifetimes, let alone simultaneously with Tripoli, Cairo, Damascus, Sana’a and all the smaller cities known more to the citizenry than the media.
Not so exciting, perhaps, are the daily demonstrations in Palestine where we have struggled against Israeli occupation for over 60 years; and humanity has become accustomed to our stone-throwing youth.
Yet that familiarity, and in some cases apathy, does not make us any less determined to free ourselves of tyranny."
President Barack Obama's speech at the UN on Wednesday was welcomed by almost all major American Jewish organisations and billed in the media as his most pro-Israel yet.

Myths, legends and speculations about St. Germain began to be widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and continue today. They include beliefs that he is immortal, the Wandering Jew, an alchemist with the "Elixir of Life", a Rosicrucian, and that he prophesied the French Revolution.
