Fatah Falls Out of Love With Obama

The AP has obtained a memo written by the non-Hamas wing of the Palestinian national movement:

“All hopes placed in the new U.S. administration and President Obama have evaporated,” said the document issued by Fatah’s Office of Mobilization and Organization. The department is headed Fatah’s No. 2, Mohammed Ghneim.

Obama, it claimed, “couldn’t withstand the pressure of the Zionist lobby, which led to a retreat from his previous positions on halting settlement construction and defining an agenda for the negotiations and peace.”

This ought to be one seriously grueling State Department briefing. Where’s that George Mitchell peace plan?
