My Way News - Obama gets reality check from complex Mideast
AP reports: "More than anything else, some influential figures said Friday that they could not look past Obama's affirmation of the 'unbreakable' bond between the U.S. and Israel, and they took that as a sign that nothing had changed. 'We have witnessed that despite every nice word he said toward Arabs and Muslims or Islam, he is still committed to the unbreakable bond toward the Zionist entity,' Fadlallah said. [...] In Damascus, Syria, Hamas politburo member Ezzat Rashq said the speech signaled no change in U.S. policy, and he rejected Obama's call on the group to renounce violence and recognize Israel's right to exist."
