I like how all the blame for what's going on now gets heaped on the Jews in Israel and everyone overlooks how the entire situation wouldn't exist if Europe wasn't such a fucking hotbed of Antisemitism.
The Holocaust is not the here and now. You could just as easily say that "well, violent crime in America is really the fault of the Europeans dumping their problem children here".

The big news here should be how Iran pushed Obama's speech at the UN to page three status by choosing the day/time of his speech to release those two hikers.
Those hikers were spies, and NATO made the choice to waste time and momentum responding to an irrelevant speech in a pompous manner.

That overshadowed Obama's speech, the brunt of which was that the UN should step back and let Israel/Palestine work things out before any official recognition for Palestine occurs, and I'm sure they did that on purpose since they're officially of the opposing view that Palestine should just be recognized now.
The Israelis have shown they don't want to play ball because they think they can turtle up and get strung along on US aid forever.
