Obama doesn't support Israel's claim to be Jewish state?

Unsurprisingly, this renewed 'peace process' - is as appears - again about slicing Israeli territory in exchange for nothing. Less than nothing.

Obama Sidesteps PA’s Refusal to Call Israel’ A Jewish State’

U.S. President Barack Obama has sidestepped a chance to back Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu’s demand that the Palestinian Authority call Israel a Jewish State, but he told reporters that the Prime Minister should accept Abbas’s demand and extend the building freeze for four more months.

The freeze on building Jewish homes in Judea and Samaria, and the issue of Israel’s being a Jewish State, are the major demands that PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas and Prime Minister Netanyahu have made for direct talks to address the issue of establishing the PA as a new Arab country.

The Prime Minister told the Cabinet Sunday morning, "I hear about two states, but I don't hear two peoples."

In a press conference Friday, President Obama directly told reporters that Israel should meet Abbas' demand but ignored the Israeli demand, stated in a reporter's comment that “Abbas…said the Palestinians won’t recognize Israel as a Jewish state.” The reporter continued, “The question is, if these talks fail at an early stage, will this administration disengage? Or maybe you’re ready to step up and deepen your personal involvement.”

President Obama did not refer to the “Jewish State” issue except to clearly imply that its definition depends on Israel’s surrendering all of the areas restored to the country in the Six-Day War in 1967.

In a reply to another question if Israel "should extend the settlement moratorium as a gesture to peace," President Obama commented that “it makes sense [for Israel] to extend that moratorium," which is due to expire September 26.
