I wonder what Obama meant by ` some of the settlement policies make it very difficult to create a functioning Palestinian state`? Could Jewish villages not exist within a Palestinian state, just as Arab villages exist in Israel? What is the problem with a few hundred thousand Jews living in Palestine? Could they not be productive members of society? Who is interested in the ethnically pure state here?
