So Mr. Bush goes to the one and only place on the planet which can boast of a poorer diplomatic record than his own, says a few inflammatory remarks equating dialogue in the Middle East with appeasing Hitler - and Democrats should hope he doesn't choke on a knish?

He doesn't have to be talking about Obama, he's talking about Democrats and Obama is now the first one who should answer.

No, that isn't the kind of rhetoric that should come from the lips of the President of the United States. We are not Israel's goon squad. Israel has no choice - none whatsoever - but to learn to get along with the Palestinian people who surround them. They have not made much progress in their sixty years as a nation, but the past eight years have been particularly devoid of progress. Can't imagine why that would be. Maybe you can guess.
