Obama’s Real Foreign Policy Takes Heavy Blows
Since taking office in January 2009, or even before then, Barack Hussein Obama has been working with a number of US intelligence honchos, James Jones, Clapper, Donilon, and others to promote the rise to power of Muslim Brotherhood governments in Sunni Arab countries as well as encouraging governments run by the MB’s Shiite counterparts, as in Iran and its ally, Syria [dominated by Alawites, an offshoot sect of Shiism, considered heretics by Sunnis but as Muslims by Shiites, at least as long as convenient], and by Sunni counterparts of the MB as in Turkey.

This would allow both the Palestinians and Israelis to present their public objections to the issue, while accepting it in principle.
Is this an agreement to disagree? If so that would be meaningless. But to allow Kerry to say it is not meaningless and will have huge significance.
Apparently Abbas is also being asked to recognize Israel as a Jewish state and is balking..
