President Obama, delivering his first major address tackling the uprisings in the Middle East, on Thursday endorsed Palestinians' demand for their own state based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war.
Though the move is likely to aggravate the Israelis, Obama said the United States' commitment to Israeli security is "unshakable." He also rejected attempts by the Palestinians to gain recognition for their own state before the United Nations.
Until Thursday, the U.S. position had been that the Palestinian goal of a state based on the 1967 borders, with agreed land swaps, should be reconciled with Israel's desire for a secure Jewish state through negotiations.
In the speech, Obama also offered an ultimatum to Syrian President Bashar Assad, telling him to either support a democratic transition or "get out of the way."

Lines drawn in the sand, words that will bring out many enflamed emotions, and just in time to bring this element into the election process. Wow, this is better than a cock fight.
The Great and Powerful OZ has SPOKEN!
Obama is 100% left wing. He’s a leftover of every idiot liberal professor I had in the 70’s and 80’s.
Except during those times when US policy under King Hussein is to stab Israel in the back and side with Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood and Syria.
Zero trying his best to set up a Pali Ghetto for the Jews.
Israel: Pound sand.
Come on American Secular Jews give Obama more and vote more that 78% for him.
And yet, the liberal Jews across America will continue to write checks for the Obama re-election....
Now if the arab nations would publicly state that Israel has a right to exist and will defend Israel's right to exist, I might reconsider.
I DO NOT trust Obama!!!
