President Obama Meets Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu

There was an historic two-hour meeting between President Obama and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House today.  The Washington Times reported that President Obama expressed concern about Iran’s progress toward nuclear weapons.  Prime Minister Netanyahu said that a nuclear-armed Iran would be a grave danger to Israel.

There has been much pressure put on Israel for a ‘two-state solution’.  Until the Palestinians acknowledge that Israel has the right to exist, I am not sure that this is a reasonable goal.  The increase of anti-Jewish sentiment around the world at this time is troubling.  The dictatorships in the Arab world are much better at manipulating the media than the democracies of the western world, and I believe the rise of anti-semitism around the world is a result of that.
