That is what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.haaretz.com\/hasen\/spages\/933625.html\">Rice did when news of the Jerusalem settlement of Har Homa broke.<\/a> In public, she delivered a clear but relatively mild statement saying <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Har_Homa\">the United States had opposed the settlement &#8218;from the very beginning.&#8216;<\/a> In private, she told Olmert: Don&#8217;t let that happen again. For Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, the message was equally blunt: You can come to the table and negotiate a border for a Palestinian state, making settlements irrelevant. Or you can boycott and let the building continue. [..]<\/p>\n<p>Eventually, Olmert presented Abbas with a detailed plan for a final settlement &#8211; one that, in its concessions to Palestinian demands, went beyond anything either Israel or the United States had ever put forward. Among other things it mandated a Palestinian state with a capital in Jerusalem and would have allowed 10,000 refugees to return to Israel.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s when Rice learned another lesson the new administration seems not to have picked up: This Palestinian leadership has trouble saying &#8218;yes.&#8216; Confronted with a draft deal that would have been cheered by most of the world, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/wp-dyn\/content\/article\/2009\/05\/28\/AR2009052803614.html\">Abbas balked.<\/a> He refused to sign on; he refused to present a counteroffer. Rice and Bush implored him to join Olmert at the White House for a summit. Olmert would present his plan to Bush, and Abbas would say only that he found it worth discussing. The Palestinian president refused.&#8220;<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Und dann \u00fcbernahm <i>Barack Hussein Obama<\/i>, der keinen Wert mehr legte auf die Anerkennung des Existenzrechts <i>Israels<\/i>, eine Entwaffnung <i>&#8222;pal\u00e4stinensischer&#8220;<\/i> Terroristenbanden und <i>demokratische<\/i> Strukturen in der <i>PA<\/i>, sondern sehr zur Freude des <i>Antisemiten Abu Mazen<\/i> in <i>Juden<\/i> ein <i>&#8222;Friedenshindernis&#8220;<\/i> erblickte, die am Leben h\u00e4ngen.\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jackson Diehl schreibt in der Washington Post auf, was der Amtsinhaber von seinem Vorg\u00e4nger George W.
