WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama is endorsing the Palestinians' demand for their future state to be based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war, in a move that will likely infuriate Israel. Israel says the borders of a Palestinian state have to be determined through negotiations.

I wonder what all of the libtard useful idiot jews that voted for the Obamanation think now?

Do they even care about Israel?

[BigEdLB]

I am surprised that ANYONE would be surprised at Obumma’s remarks...

[Batman11]

“he will still get 90% of the jewish vote too”

At least!!

Interesting that I can’t get onto Drudge. He must have put up a headline about this which was unacceptable to Pharoah Obama.

Nice map. But since Obozo insists on using 1967 as a yardstick, lets use the Post 6 Day War results in this map.

67 borders? Might as well be the 1867 Israeli border then.

If my father(Who fought in the 1967 war) were alive today, he would tell Obama to kiss his ass

[plain talk]

Means nothing. This will be US policy for 2 years and then will be rescinded. They won’t settle anything in 2 years. Obama is an idiot.

In May 1967, Egyptian President Nasser received false reports from the Soviet Union that Israel was massing on the Syrian border. Nasser began massing his troops in the Sinai Peninsula on Israel's border, an area that was controlled by a UNEF peacekeeping force. Naser expelled the UNEF force from Gaza and Sinai and took up UNEF positions.

Israel reiterated declarations it made in 1957 that any closure of the Straits would be considered an act of war. Nasser declared the Straits closed to Israeli shipping on May 22–23. Jordan and Egypt signed a defense pact and the following day the Iraqi army began deploying troops and armored units in Jordan, later to be joined by Egyptian troops. On June 4, Israel responded with a large scale surprise air strike.

The question becomes, who started the war? Does a country like Israel wait until it is attacked when it see three countries amassing military units along it borders or strike first? In the ensuing conflict whereby Israel secured the area by the UNEF, should it now give it back.

Who moved first on that area?

Hey Canada! Maybe 54-40 or Fight is now negotiable again!

Hey La Raza! You hear?

[jersey117]

Has Bibi weighed in?

So, if the Arabs conquered the land in the ‘47/’48 war, they get to keep it? Apparently this new rule of international rules doesn’t apply both ways.

Perceived desertion by the US; perceived weakness; Islamic aggression unprecedented in recent years; war.

No ,everyone should just laugh at the POS!

Meanwhile, most American Jews will once again vote in lockstep for Ubama and the Democrats.

Yup, the vast majority of American Jews put their secular socialist agenda over Israel. As long as the Democrats keep pushing their ACLU style liberalism, Jews will keep right on voting for them.

Republicans really shouldn't bother chasing the Jewish voting block, it is about as hopeless as the blacks.

Our first anti-western President. Awesome. If the American people do not reject him in 2012, then America is likely dead.

[Zeppo]

While we’re at it, let’s also roll back all United States laws and regulations enacted after January 20, 2009, in order to right the historical mistake of Obama’s election...

[Paperdoll]

Who died and made him Emperor of the world?

1967 borders and Israel must defend itself on its own. Israel needs new allies such as India and whatever deals it can make with Russia and China in exchange for technology. America has become an enemy state.
