Here he's on the Obama slogan chant:-
There is no chance for progress towards Israeli-Palestinian peace without American pressure on the Israeli government...All the American Presidents after Dwight Eisenhower have been afraid of exerting such pressure...To be effective, American pressure does not need to be brutal. It should be gentle, but firm and consistent. This may suit Obama's temperament.
If the new American administration...comes to the conclusion that Israeli-Arab peace is an essential requirement of the American post-Bush policy, then the new President must inform our new Prime Minister of this fact...Many Israelis would thank him for that. Quite possibly, our next Prime Minister would also thank him in the hidden recesses of his (or her) heart.
Will the new American President do so? Is Barack Obama able to do so?
There is only one possible answer: Yes, you can!
But will he?
