It’s ludicrous, naive policy and something tells me that the Israelis don’t really mind Bush using the anniversary of their country to call Obama out on it.
Obama isn't suggesting anything different than what James Baker did in Syria when George H.W. Bush was President.

You don't negotiate with terrorists! Ever!
