    The settlers don't need Obama's approval. Since he is showing lack of support for Israel I'm sure his wishes are falling on deaf ears.

        Does Obama actually think that other nations care what he says or thinks they should do? He's got marshmallows for fists and a glass jaw. In other words, all talk and no walk. Making speaches on tv does not constitute diplomacy.

          Perhaps Israeli "settlers" should at least listen to the US Goverment who is subsidising them. Without US Tax Dollars is likely that Israel would not survive.

            Just as Hamas cause havoc for legitimate Israeli citizens,these crazed settlers bring havoc upon legitimate Palestinian citizens.Whereas Hamas do it by firing rockets,the settlers do it by provoking Palestinians,if the Arabs respond angrily,the IDF come and flatten their houses and sometimes unleash waves of military destruction.
            Why should Hamas and settlers always be allowed to kill off any peace process,before it is even put in practice.It's time Palestinians bought gunmen and rocket firers to book.It's also time these settlers where arrested and bought to court.Then maybe the majority of decent folks, from both sides,could work out a process where they could live in peace as good neighbors.As things stand, it's the minority on both sides,that are dictating whats is happening.
            By the way,I'm a British Jew and think as Americans pour money into Israel,they can put political conditions on their dollars.
