The following comments are responses by a few of my friends:
Democracy Rules:
Obama just gave a speech to AIPAC on Israel. Most of his speech was identical to what he has said before including the need for Israel to 'respect' 1967 borders. However, I find it interesting that when speaking to AIPAC he said "Hamas is an Enormous Obstacle to Peace. ". In his original speech he said something about Hamas has issues or something along those lines. He never called them 'enormous obstacle to peace'. Him changing the language is the reason why he is not a leader.
His MAIN ARGUMENT on giving up land for Israel was ......DEMOGRAPHICs........ His Implied message was because the Muslim population is growing rapidly both in the Middle East and elsewhere, Israel needs to give up land. Though he failed to mention that giving up Gaza made Israel less safe, as Iran now controls many part of the Middle East. Not to mention that Hamas condemned US for killing Osama.
He also said "There is Nothing Original in my proposal". He is right on that one. There is nothing Original about the desire to destroy the Jewish race.

The demographic argument is a red herring:
"Jewish Majority: Stable Now; Growth Spurt in 2025" (8 Iyar 5767, 26 April 07)
As Israel enters its 60th year, the American-Israel Demographic Research Group (AIDRG) provides some good news: The ground is being prepared for a major Jewish demographic boost, beginning in 2025.
The Arab birthrate is down, while the Jewish birthrate - especially in the hareidi and religious sectors - is increasing. The effects are currently merely arithmetic, but these are expected to begin multiplying geometrically within a generation.
At present, the Jewish majority is hovering around 80%, with the religious and hareidi populations each representing slightly over 10% of this amount. Latest Central Bureau of Statistics numbers show that there are 600,000 hareidi-religious Jews, and about that many who describe themselves as "religious."
By 2025, however, this sector is expected to grow to nearly 30% of the Jewish population - and to 23% of the entire country. As time passes, its growth will be faster and faster, as the most fertile sectors make up increasingly larger portions of the population...

Obama also said that "impatience is growing" with the peace process "or the absence of one". Not just in the Arab world, but in Latan America, in Europe, and in Asia".
Yes, he is correct, only the impatience is felt first, by Americans, who have watched our president since he first stepped into the White House, apologize to the Islamic world for what he considered "all" America's mistakes. True, we have made mistakes along the way, but normally, we learn by those mistakes and do not repeat them. We have flourished as a nation and represent the Number One power for freedom and democracy in this world, always coming to the aid of our friends and fighting the good fight against our enemies and those of our friends. We contribute to this civilized world, while continuing to fight terrorism around the world and within our own borders.
Cemeteries across Europe attest to our faithfulness by the countless lost lives of Americans.

7861 young American soldiers are buried here, fallen for the freedom of Italy and Europe, we don't forget them.
The Jews have survived thousands of years and during the past 63 years of its "Independence" once again, as a Jewish state, continues to survive countless wars against her tiny country from its Arab neighbors; she has much patience and will grow, no matter how many fires the Arabs start among themselves and against the State of Israel. Her struggle is the same struggle America faces today and this is one of resisting terrorism by those who wish her to be "wiped into the sea" by blind hatred towards the Jews and the West. This is not about Israel so much as it is about standing against the evil intentions of those who cannot live in today's civilization i.e. Islamic terrorism and that includes, but not limited to, Hamas, Hezibollah, Iran, Syria, Muslim Brotherhood, etc. and etc.
With America's Memorial Day approaching next weekend, it is a good time to remember the sacrifices paid by our loved ones from generation to generation. It is a good time to also remember that America's freedoms were never free - the cost of our freedom was paid in the blood of our soldiers then, and now. These past ten years countless lives have been lost in this War on Terrorism. A fight that the State of Israel is well familiar with since her rebirth in 1948.
Patience?!
Mr. President, you need to find some patience in a hurry! Your patience, to-date, has been one-sided, as you stand with the Arab Muslims and Palestinians, while your impatience with our ally Israel has grown to a very dangerous and un-American stance that we find unacceptable. Never - I repeat, NEVER, has a president of these United States so insulted our allies, while supporting the very enemies of our freedom.
Mr. President, you do not salute our flag, so you will probably not know the words to the following song (nor do you know just how patient Americans can be when faced with tyranny):
