This afternoon, President Obama spoke to President Peres of Israel to extend his congratulations to the Israeli people on their general elections yesterday. The President remarked that the Israeli people should be very happy about the democratic example they have set for the world. They had a good discussion, and the President complimented President Peres on his recent op-ed in which he reaffirmed his strong commitment to achieving a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

personally i think the Israelites are also getting greedy for power as they have all made victory speeches already before the results are announced. If the start a civil war then they will inevitably be wiped off the face of the earth. I think the best they can do is get united under whatever leadership is installed. Just think of zimbabwe and the turmoil they have been facing, Isreal is not ready for that as yet. What do you think?
