US and Israeli media have been full of stories for years how Obama should "capture" the mind of the Israeli public, "romance" them to get them on his side and that it should have been done before any criticism towards Israel's activities in the occupied territories.

Now we have the courtship and we know that there won't be any criticism afterwards, but notice how nobody in the whole of "Western" media seems to think that Obama should do the same with the Palestinian public?

Instead, even the "liberal" commentators have just imagined it with a two-part relationship with Obama and Israeli public, with Palestinians left in the sidelines waiting to be dictated what the two lovebirds come up with.
