The Exultation of the Victorious

I call it תיקווה ושינוי, or "Hope and Change". What does it represent as a work of art? Why, only the triumph of moderation and intelligence for the good of all!

At the very least this shows balls on an unprecedented level. I have never in my life seen an American President so expertly demonstrate the use of diplomacy: to back up the things we say nicely with brutal force. Obama has the internal political support and the world clout to make this at least look like a serious effort towards peace in the Middle-East. Will it work? Not necessarily, but it's definitely a step back onto the right road: a two-state solution with a secure, Israeli Jerusalem; the repatriation of the settlers into Israel; a prosperous, contiguous Palestine; and an end to terrorism.

May God show him the right way.
