Obama is Bold and Driven in Jerusalem

Israel is the most powerful country in the region and it is supported by the most powerful country in the world.
Obama speaks of America's support for Israel in a visit to Jerusalem speaking to young Israelis.
"So long as there is the USA you are not alone."
Heckled more than once Obama laughed off the critics saying "I feel right at home." This was a very bold and nonetheless historic speech. Obama has also visited Palestine and enforced his support stating "Palestine deserves their own state" restating that Palestinians
"Treatment of Palestine is not fair...Must be recognized."
However, this courageous speech has shown that USA as has done in the past still stands behind Israel. Obama's speech to the youth has been described by Foreign Affairs professionals as "going over the heads of Israeli leaders" whom in the past he's called cowards, in an effort to fastforward change and peace in the region. Updates to come.
