I bet that Obama thought he was uttering points of general agreement. Well I got news: he wasn't.

That's why there is no peace deal. The Palestinians don't think that the Jews have any rights in Jerusalem, or Tel Aviv or Haifa either for that matter. By about 3 to 1, the Palestinians don't think Obama's serious about establishing a Palestinian state, either. I hope they're right about that one.
