Obama to Muslim World: Israel Not Behind All Mideast Problems
[AFP] President Barack Obama called on the Muslim world Tuesday for a "balanced" approach towards Israel, saying that the Jewish state was not behind all problems in the Middle East. "In the Muslim world, the notion that somehow everything is the fault of the Israelis lacks balance because there are two sides to every question," Obama said during a visit to Turkey. "I say the same thing to my Jewish friends - you have to see the perspective of the Palestinians. Learning to stand in someone else's shoes, to see through their eyes...this is how peace begins."
