Thank you Ken. 4 billion dollars indeed. If Israel made peace with her neighbors, 4 billion dollars might just be available for nation building at home.

No surprise.
The speaker and his prime minster were rooting for Romney. They lost. Jewish voters in the U,S. know different and better. Israel’s President Simon Peres does too.
My thinking is that Obama, like many true friends of Israel, believe that what Israel needs now is peace with its neighbors, not security, not even more security. Israel has had overwhelming military superiority over its neighbors for decades now. Has it bought or brought Israel peace? I do not think so.
Does anyone need reminding that as Shakespeare famously stated ( Macbeth) “as you all know, security is mortals chiefest enemy”. Is not the converse true that peace is mortals chiefest friend?

Subject: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Israel's Deputy Speaker Of The Knesset Calls Obama "Naive"
From NewsMax:
Israeli Official: Obama Is ‘Naïve’
President Obama’s re-election triumph "demonstrates that the state of Israel must take care of its own interests," says the deputy speaker of Israel’s Knesset.
Danny Danon, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s ruling Likud party, told Middle East correspondent and talk radio host Aaron Klein after the U.S. election: "We cannot rely on anyone but ourselves. Obama has hurt the United States by his naïve leadership in foreign policy, which prefers the Arab world over the Western world, along with Israel. The state of Israel will not capitulate before Obama."
A senior Palestinian Authority negotiator claimed earlier in the week that if Obama won re-election he would campaign at the United Nations to renew Security Council Resolution 242, which calls for a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and eastern Jerusalem, according to Klein’s KleinOnline website.
He quoted the negotiator: "We were told that the negotiations for a Palestinian state will be a main goal for Obama. Netanyahu will be declared the main person responsible for the collapse of the peace process."
President Obama angered the Israelis in May 2011 when he expressed U.S. support for a future Palestinian state based on borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war.
