I dont think I have ever been prouder to be an American then when I heard that Obama actually used the word 'Palestine' in a speech to the Middle East.
While I can feel for how hard it is for Israel and how they feel everyone is against them, I am glad that the world has changed enough that we can point out that what we are against is how they are treating the Palestinians and is not about their personal religion or beliefs. You can not actively seek to destroy a people while at the same time calling yourself a victum of violence. I know that pain was real and the people deserve a place to call home but that does not give them the right to try to steal other people's lands.
So, I am proud to be American where we now truly seek an honest solution to problems. It can be hard when we believe we know best for everybody and want to help them, but we need to take a step back and let them decide for themselves. In daring to say the truth about that situation, Obama has shown that Ameria as a country is listening and trying to understand how to help in a true and real way.
