Shmuel Amir – Two Speeches: Obama in Conflict with Netanyahu?
The content of the speech itself was fairly typical of those given by previous prime ministers, its primary purpose being to explain to the world, Israelis included, that it is impossible to put an end to the occupation and settlement.

Netanyahu wants Palestinians to become committed Zionists.

GazaFriends: Absurdity Is the Norm in the Gaza Strip By Stephanie Westbrook
