Note:
There have been "offers" from the White House to Israel in exchange for a continuation of a building "freeze" from Israel. But depending upon which newspaper one reads, there have also been denials from the White House that they ever made an offer. Judging from past communications between Obama and his gang to PM Netanyahu and Israel, I most certainly believe there has been some arm-twisting going on this week out of desperation from one very desperate president and the forcing of Israel to accept more concessions for the sake of the Palestinian-Israeli "peace talks" would not be out of the question.
Think about it for a minute! Abbas threatens daily to end the talks if he doesn't get his way and since Obama first began pressuring Israel to forgo security in many instances, while given in to the Arab demands, what has Israel received from the Abbas? Anything? Absolutely nothing! Why bother, when Israel has given all for the sake of peace and still, to Obama, the Palestinians are the unsung heroes. After all, Obama did promise to stick by Islam no matter how many bombs Hamas slings over to Israeli cities.
Getting back to this latest "offer" Obama makes to Israel - doesn't it sound more like one of the gangsters in the Godfather movie? Of course! After all, Obama's most recent hometown is Chicago and we all know the stories of the thugs and crooked politicians from the past that made the streets of Chicago their home turf.
Now, for another well written article and observations from The Jerusalem Connection (below).

ONE THAT CALLS FOR A RESPONSE
Posted in Jerusalem, Jim Hutchens, Temple
Former Israeli Ambassador to the UN, Dore Gold said: “The problem is that when one of Israel’s leaders suggests that the Old City [of Jerusalem] be put under an international regime, international diplomats begin to think the government may entertain such proposals. Ben-Gurion was able to stand up to the UN General Assembly in 1949 because the world understood that Jerusalem represented a red line from which neither he nor any other representative of Israel was prepared to retreat. … Today, Israel must reestablish that red line clearly, for the impression left by these proposals badly weakens its ability to defend itself. They imply that it has lost its will and might be prepared to concede what has been – and will remain – one of the identifying core values defining the identity of the Jewish people.”
God says: “Now I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.”… “I will defend this city and save it, for my sake and for the sake of David my servant.”… “If I forget you, O Jerusalem, may my right hand forget its skill. May my tongue cling to the roof of my mouth if I do not remember you, if I do not consider Jerusalem my highest joy.”[II Chronicles 6:6; II Kings 19:34; Psalm 137:5-6].
The Jerusalem Connection says: The Obama administration wants to make Israel an offer they can’t refuse. They desperately want a Palestinian state with a divided, or at least an internationalized Old City. And thus Obama can be heralded as the great peace maker between Israel and the Palestinians. But what could possibly induce Israel’s leaders to make such concessions? It’s certainly not guarantees that the US, the UN, the EU and the Quartet etc. will insure a pacified Palestinian state. That’s simply not going to happen and those of a sound mind in Israel know it. Israel will always have to insure its own security against the viscerally embedded anti-Semitism in the Arab world. A possible scenario of Israel relinquishing control of the Old City would be a guarantee it could build the Third Temple or somehow re-institute its ancient sacrificial system at a location other than the Temple Mount. If and when that happens we have entered into a time of enormous Biblical significance. The “Day of the LORD” is at hand. Fasten your spiritual seat belts!
