The US administration is tired of you, the Israelis and Palestinians. You’re wasting precious time and are missing an opportunity to make peace. There is going to be a stage in which we’re simply going to give up on this endless conflict and leave you alone


--- White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel

Emanuel supposedly said this to the Israeli Consul in Los Angeles.

I seem to recall that Bush at a certain point decided he was not having any influence in the Peace Process, and he threw his hands up and kind of let it stagnate. Obama leveled heavy criticism at that policy and spoke about how he would not disengage form the process, but would be more hands on and he would push and get results. looks like he too is figuring out that a few speeches isn't enough to resolve a conflict of 60 years, if not 2000. And from our standpoint, in my opinion, this is a dream come true. He has been heavily one-sided in forcing Israel to continue making concessions and stop construction at levels no president before has ever insisted on.
