In any case if we're going to move forward on this issue we need new players. Obama was too idealistic in his goals, and perhaps naive about the Palestinians. Netanyahu is far too narrow minded and rigid- his predecessor, Ariel Sharon, just as conservative as Bibi, had much greater vision and had he lived we might be in a much more positive situation now. The Palestinians themselves have chosen extremist leadership that wants the destruction of Israel.
So all of this has to change at some point. Will Trump be better than Obama on this issue? His early rhetoric suggests he will revert to George W Bush's policy of support Israel whenever and however, which doesn't really serve us well either. But we'll see. Although I have a thousand negative things to say about Donald Trump, one positive about him is that he's not beholden to any previous thinking. This means that there is st least the possibility he'll approach this situation in a fresh way. Who knows how much that would help but it would at least be a start.
