President Obama on Thursday endorsed Palestinians' demand for their own state based on borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war. The move comes ahead of Isreali Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's speech next week to a joint session of Congress. Do you agree with Obama's decision?

Pull back to ‘67 borders? Tell Obama to go screw himself.

Pull back to ‘67 borders and the next time the Arabs attack Israel will have to go nuke.

All I have to say is that the big attack on Israel is drawing close,

and “look up, for your redemption is nigh”.

I have rarely agreed with Obama, and when i do I assume that I’m wrong and need to reconsider, but the anti-American, anti-Semitic communist in our White House has outdone himself this time. This may be competitive with ObamaCare , Stimulus, and nominating a Wise Latina based on her diversity for worst idea of the worst White House resident in our country’s history.

How can the US broker a deal now that Obama or his people will have to sit on the Arab side of the table?

Let's look at some facts (to maybe help the Chief Muslim):

Here's Israel before 1967 (the darker tan labeled Samaria and Judea)

What happened in 1967?
It's called the Six-Day War (June 5-10). Israel was granted statehood in 1948. From that time until even now, Arabs have threatened to remove Israel from the map, and there have been periodic skirmishes between Israel and all of its neighbors, including regular rocket attacks on Israel from Syria. Immediately before the war, the calls by the Arab countries to annihilate Israel escalated. Egypt expelled United Nations troops from the Sinai peninsula, blockaded Israel's port of Eilat, and amassed troops and tanks in the Sinai peninsula. Jordan and Syria also amassed troops along their borders with Israel.

Faced with impending attacks from all sides, Israel conducted preemptive, defensive attacks on the surrounding Arab states. The war began with a large-scale surprise air strike by Israel on Egypt. The outcome was a swift and decisive Israeli victory. Israel took effective control of the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria.

As a point of interest, the Golan Heights is a large plateau northeast of the Sea of Galilee. It effectively looks over the rest of Israel, so its strategic importance cannot be over-stated.

Since the Six-Day War, Israel has given control of the Sinai Peninsula back to Egypt. And since that time, the Arabs, and now the Muslim resident of the United States, have called for the return of the rest of the land obtained in the Six-Day War - land obtained during a war.

The so-called "land for peace" will never achieve peace - the Arabs want to shrink Israel's borders to nothing!

And, if Israel is forced to give the Golan Heights to Syria and the West Bank and East Jerusalem to Jordan, the US will have to give Texas back to Mexico and the east coast back to England.

The Implications: God promised Abraham that He would bless those who blessed him and his descendants, and curse those who cursed them. The United States is now, for the first time in history, in a position of going against our best friend and strongest ally in the world. I'm beginning to rethink my skepticism about May 21 being the end of the world.

1967 borders? I wish. Obama called for contiguous Palestinian State. That means that the West Bank and Gaza meet, cutting Israel in half!

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks fanfan. That was no votes, right? :’)

[naturalman1975]

That is entirely up to Israel. They won the bloody war.

That’s part of what winning means. Some people seem to have forgotten that.

[Domestic Church]

When I read the headline news on FR and somebody saying Obama was the new Arafat, with the backdrop of doomsday mega global quake joke or no joke prophecy making everything seem a bit weird...all I could wonder was....

What do you think the folks at Mossad are doing tonight?

[SunkenCiv]

Cut it out, you’ll jinx it. ;’)
