I consider this a kind of neoliberalism of the Left, this rise and promotion of spontaneity above preparation.

It's Israelis who are ready to abandon the hard work of peace.

There's a right-wing shift in Israeli society, very hard right shift.

Mr. Obama at the UN said that the large nations should not trample small ones in pursuit of what he called "territorial ambition". These are curious statements coming from the American president at this time.

Mr. Obama needs to make a phone call to Ankara and have a serious conversation about why the current government in Turkey isn't going to seal its border, why it doesn't take a stronger position against the Islamic State.

We would like to participate in manifestations, in Occupies and things like that. We would like to be involved in a march. But we don't actually see the very hard work that goes to build confidence towards those events. And we don't have a shared discussion.

I don't recall an American president basically coming out and criticizing the Israeli public.
