It would be logic to say that the general population of Israel is sick of war and terrorism

WASHINGTON – Gingerly trying to advance Mideast peace, President Barack Obama on Thursday challenged Israel to stop settlement construction in the West Bank on the same day the Israelis rejected that demand. Obama pushed Palestinians for progress, too, deepening his personal involvement.
"I am confident that we can move this process forward," Obama said after meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas at the White House. The president said that means both sides must "meet the obligations that they've already committed to" — an element of the peace effort that has proved elusive for years.
The 44th President places him self between a stone and a hard place, please see my daily article where I already commented on the meeting between the two leaders in the Whitehouse

I think they should continue building while offering jobs to Palestinians, and opportunities to also live in the homes being built.. This is a step of progress in working together..Why Obama opposes building...is his major lack of vision.

It happens to be one of the main sore points in the Arab Israel hate campaign. Its Palestinian land and the houses are owned by Jews. That's why Obama has gone for the jugular and unfortunately your good remark would not help to save the peace.

So what you are saying is that War in Israel are the real plans of Obama..because by supporting a 2 State solution..the US benefits by selling arms to the New Palestinian State...so a protracted War will maintain the reasons to continue supporting the out of control military establishment in the United States...
Because the US is not a nation for the people, but a nation for the Military forcing the people to support it.....it is nothing but a Military Regime... a country that always seeks War and aggression.
I think N. Korea has good reason to assure its own security.
