As Obama is intent on winning the love and adulation of the Arab/Moslem world he is under great pressure from King Abdullah of Jordan, Abdullah of Saudi Arabia and other Arab leaders to force Israel into a disastrous premature peace with the Palestinians-disastrous because Israel has no real peace partner. Ironically, a two-state solution is as unpopular in the Moslem world as it is among Palestinians. Like most Palestinians most Moslems deny Israel's right to exist as a Jewish State and want to see it disappear from history. Israel's existence is a painful refutation of many cherished Moslem truths foremost of which is Islamic supremicism and the future of Islam promised by the prophet Mohammed-the future of universal domination. That God's supreme religion has a divine right to supreme power on earth-political, cultural, economic and military-is Gospel to most Moslems whether moderates or extremists.
The existence of a thriving non-Moslem democratic state situated on the Arabian Peninsula (birthplace of Islam) is a nightmare for most Moslems-a "catastrophe" causing doubt and spiritual crisis. This is the harsh reality of the region that no amount of diplomacy or concessions made by Israel can change or overcome. For Obama to succceed in his Moslem outreach initiative and transform massive Moslem hatred of the US caused by Bush's Mideast policies into honor and love then he must radically redirect US foreign policy and joining the right side of Moslem history join in the jihad against Israel and work for her destruction (see my essay
HAMAS LEADER SEEKS TWO STATE SOLUTION ).
Postscript I
Not only is Israel's legally, morally and historically justified existence a capital crime against the Moslem community and Islamic Law but it's also deeply and bitterly offensive to Arab pride and Arab racism-the Arab world's racial superiority complex. As Arab/Moslems were once masters of a great and powerful empire stretching from the Himalayas to the Pyrenees, this people dream of restoring the glorious past and see Israel as an obstacle to achieving this-an obstacle that needs to be forcibly removed. Israel's liquidation is both a religious duty and a racial neceessity, the will of God and racial justice, and until such time as these medieval views are transcended and
overcome a comprehensive peace in the Middle East is a pipe dream and very dangerous to pursue.
Postscript II: Placating the Sunni World
Come to think of it even if Obama were to join in the jihad to destroy Israel that in itself would not be enough to placate Sunni anti-Americanism. To fully achieve this Obama would have to completely reverse Bush's policies on Iraq and restoring the status quo ante return the country to Sunni control.
