In a region already marked by terror and uneasy alliances between tribal conflicts dating back thousands of years, PRESIDENT OBAMA backed a Palestinian demand to Israel: “GET OUT!”
Trying to advance debate, Barack Obama endorsed a key Palestinian demand for the borders of its future state, prodding Israel to withdraw back to borders established in 1967.
He also prodded Israel to accept the demand because it can never have a truly peaceful nation based on "permanent occupation."
Obama urged that a permanent Palestinian state be based on 1967 borders – the ones that existed prior to the Six Day War when a warring Israel battled Egypt and its allies and then occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.
Obama’s statements are a significant shift in U.S. policy and insiders feel would anger US allies Israel.
Israel has said an endorsement of the 1967 borders would prejudge any negotiations.
These border realignments would be consistent with those traditionally demanded by Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) terrorist Yasser Arafat during his reign.
The president cautioned that the recent power-sharing between the mainstream Palestinian faction led by and the radical Hamas that rules Gaza "raises profound and legitimate" security questions for Israel.
Israeli PM Netanyahu has refused to deal with a Palestinian government that includes Hamas.
"How can one negotiate with a party that has shown itself unwilling to recognize your right to exist?" Obama asked.
Obama also deep-sixed a push by the Palestinians for U.N. recognition of a separate state in the West Bank, Gaza and East Jerusalem later this year.
"Symbolic actions to isolate Israel at the United Nations in September won't create an independent state," Obama said.

If the demise of Israel doesn’t come from war, it will come from shear Arab population growth. The muslim’s don’t care how long it takes as they consider it an inevitability.

Come quickly LORD JESUS. Come before winter.
The situation occurring now is a result of power vacuum created by the absence of credible US projection.
I didnt realize that the Enquirer was into world politics
So tell me Barry, how would you feel if in order to appease Mexico for all our ‘anti-immigrant’ rhetoric, the EU demanded we hand back California and New Mexico. How about in order to make better friends with France we hand back everything west of the Mississippi.
DON’T GIVE HIM ANY IDEAS!
Every student should be made to study this - and every politician, and every person in the US.

I have never been so afraid for my my country, my family and our freedoms....
Uh, excuse me-—what do you mean?
Messianic Jews are estimated to number 1 million
worldwide, with more than 200,000 in the United States.

The number that are actually bloodline jews from the
tribes of Israel is important as they will complete
the 144,000 remnant from Revelation 7.
Not while I live.

Barry Obama: One Sick Mo-Fo.
What the world may be forgetting is that when Israel goes to war, they fight to win. No pussy-footing around.
It would save the world a heap of grief if they'd just say to he*l with you all and push the pallies back into Syria and Jordon, where they came from in the first place. Who gives a rat's azz that those countries don't want them. Extend Israel's border back to the Mediterranean, where it belongs.
I get that, and accept that the Jews, as part of “a holy nation”—the Church, will be saved, as all those who accept Jesus as the Messiah “from every tribe and nation” of peoples.
As the unspotted lamb of sacrifice in the Old Testament is clearly the foreshadow of our sinless Lord Jesus the Christ sacrificed, in the New Testament; I likewise believe that Israel as the Chosen People in the Old Testament are the same foreshadow of the Church, the Chosen People fulfilled by the Church in the New Testament, the bride of Christ. Israel is the foreshadowed Church, The Chosen fulfilled in the Church and who is the inheriter of the promises, by the ingrafting, as the bride of Christ. But then I’m Catholic.
