We learn from our mistakes....if we use God's wisdom!


In a Newsmax interview two years ago, Foxman gave Obama an F grade for his dealing with the Israeli-Arab conflict and Iran. Asked if he still gives Obama a failing grade, Fox says: “No, I think he has improved. He has learned from some of the mistakes.
“I think the speech he gave at the United Nations puts him back in my mind to a B. He still hasn’t achieved [an A]. But he has a better understanding of what is possible and what is not possible.”
In that speech in September, Obama urged a resumption of negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, stressed support for an independent Palestinian state, and spoke against any United Nations bid to declare Palestine a state on its own.
Foxman says that after the address, “I called one of the White House officials and I said this is a wonderful speech. Had the president given that speech in Cairo three years ago we may have had a two-state solution.
“But there is an understanding. I think the fact that the United States is now supplying Israel with bunker-busters, that aid is being given in terms of defense missiles, I think shows an understanding that they were wrong."
