#5 "I call on all those who believe in peace to unite against the Israeli-American policy which harms the Palestinians and the peoples of the region."

To unite on the side of peace, I presume?

#6 The President attacked terrorists in the speech; he didn't attack local people. He did make a less than subtle attack on Obewan and Billary.

#8 I'm glad W said this and he's right. Whether the reference was meant for BHO, Pelosi, Murtha, Sen Bora or Neville Chamberlain. (one thing that must be fun about being a lame duck pres in the final stretch is you can pretty much say whatever the hell you want.)

#9 Never heard of this Barakei guy before. Must not be anybody of import.

He is IIUC the senior leader of the Israeli Arab caucus in the Knesset and is the foremost voice for Israeli Arab concerns politically.

#11 Barakei:
"Europeans come here, they say they bring us democrasy"
"We say, you keep your democrasy, we want our land!"

#12 Obama mistakenly thought it was a reference to him (for good reason) but the comment better fits a reference to Jiminy Cricket Carter.
