So ask yourself:

Where's that state gonna go? On whose land? What happens to Israel with that state in existence?

Look, in my mind the whole thing is a jumbled mess, but not recognizing legitimate concerns of Israel seems disingenuous. Remember, Arabs want to kill Jews, they are upfront about that. It is some Arabs, granted, but its enough in that part of the world to annihilate Israel or give it a good go, anyway.

Do you think that's ok?

Seriously, we are supposed to give a crap that this "causes a huge headache for this President?" What an odd focus.
