WASHINGTON – US President Barack Obama and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu acknowledged the differences that divide them even as they emphasized areas of agreement over the peace process, Iran and democratic changes in the Middle East after their White House meeting Friday.
Netanyahu flatly rejected any return to the 1967 borders, the basis – along with agreed land swaps – for a deal with the Palestinians as laid out in a speech by Obama the day before.

“While Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines,” Netanyahu said, sitting alongside Obama in the Oval Office. “These lines are indefensible, because they don’t take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes.”
Netanyahu also ruled out any return of Palestinian refugees to Israel proper or that Israel would negotiate with Hamas, branded a terrorist organization by both US and Israel.

“It’s not going to happen. Everybody knows it’s not going to happen,” Netanyahu said of Palestinian refugees being absorbed by Israel. “And I think it’s time to tell the Palestinians forthrightly that it’s not going to happen.”
This whole thing was to appease Muslims after Obama had Bin Laden killed.
Kill Bin Laden, stab Israel in the back.
It’s not possible.
The Arab Muslims do not want peace.
It is as simple as that
The Bumbler may well hold his finger to the wind Sunday over his game of golf and realize this isn’t playing well anywhere but Palestine. Come Monday his minions will “clarify” his statements to explain what he REALLY meant.
Oh they want peace. Peace to them is every Jew wiped off the face of the Earth.
Today!
I 'spose he prefers the Koran.
And the rest of us beating our heads into the floor five times a day with our butts pointing toward G-d.
Bibi took the platter away from him and smacked him upside the head with it. In public.
“Obama the putz head goober. “ ==========
LOL. You stole my line! Kidding, here, but yes I have been referring to the WON as the “putz” ever since this Israel thing came out! I intend to keep it up so don’t take offense. Ha! Let’s ALL start using it!!!!
I have visions of Walter Matthau and Jack Lemmon everytime I use it. Rotfl!
It amazes me how it never dawned on the so-called “intelligent” Obama and his alleged ‘smartest guys in the room’ administration that they were going to get their asses handed to them - very publicly and embarrassingly - if Obama gave the speech he gave.
Seriously, they have the political astuteness of 5-graders.
” The Arab Muslims do not want peace.” ======
There you go. I heard Dr. Phares on American Family Radio this evening say that O. is speaking to a particular audience in his speech. The Muslim Brotherhood! He believes O. sees Jihadis as a more “moderate” version of the Taliban! LOL! Phares said that O. thinks that it may buy safety, and also that it is a way to spread
“capitalism”, BUT, that the Jihadis will not keep a peace and do not want peace.
Phares also quoted from a WAPO story a couple of weeks ago addressing the outreach of this administration to the enemy, so strategies like this have been on the table for some time.
I am so glad he made the trip over here right after Zero’s supposed big Mideast speech! At first I was thinking he should just stay at home but Bibi did this country and his a great service! A True Statesman!
I guess he could be both !
Hamas will lie and say Israel can exist. Thus setting them up. This should be obvious. Muslim Lying is sanctioned by the Koran. Example...Obama.
The trip was planned well in advance, Obama speech was pushed up to have him give it and and set the template before Bibi spoke before the Congressional House and AIPAC
That's why the Israels were not informed until the last minute
