Obama tells Israel to commit suicide

[BDKJMU]

Well, basically.

Obama says Palestine must be based in 1967 borders

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.
In a speech outlining U.S. policy in the Middle East and North Africa, Obama on Thursday sided with the Palestinians' opening position a day ahead of a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu is vehemently opposed to referring to the 1967 borders.
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.

And Israel, who is surrounded by nations hell bent on their extermination, would get in return for:
-leaving Israel's territory only 8 miles wide at its narrowest point, with hostile territory only 3 miles from Ben Gurion International
-giving up all the holy sites of East Jerusalem
-having over 1/3 of a million people forced out of the West Bank
-giving up their biggest bargaining chip

basically nothing.

Netanyahu is pissed:

"PM slams Obama call for ‘Palestine’ based on ’67 lines

"Those borders are not defensible," PM rages as he flies off to Washington; Palestinian state must not come "at Israel’s expense"; US President urges resumed talks, focused on territory, security.

Talkbacks (55)
A day before their scheduled meeting in Washington, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu and US President Barack Obama staked out dramatically conflicting positions Thursday as to the path for resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

Netanyahu issued a quick, bitter response on Thursday night to Obama’s landmark Middle East speech, saying that the establishment of a Palestinian state could not come “at Israel’s expense.”"

You can now effectively take Florida out of Obama's column in 2012.

He just lost the jewish vote.

In his May 26, 2005 joint press conference with Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas in the Rose Garden, President Bush said:

Any final status agreement must be reached between the two parties, and changes to the 1949 Armistice lines must be mutually agreed to. A viable two-state solution must ensure contiguity of the West Bank, and a state of scattered territories will not work. There must also be meaningful linkages between the West Bank and Gaza. This is the position of the United States today, it will be the position of the United States at the time of final status negotiations.[10]

From what I've read on the internet, Bush also wanted this, and Clinton, and etc. The info is out there and takes a simple google search. I'm not really sure why it's suddenly Obama that's telling Israel to commit suicide. And as someone who does have a Palestinian roots, I'm ok with this idea.

Too bad the Knights Templar aren't still around to kill all of those fucking douchebags that live in that region.

Republicans have made so many revisions to history that they sometimes forget what actually happened. Bear with them.

Also Obama advocates a two-state deal without first settling the claims of the Palestinian refugees from 1948 to a right of return" which means the 1948 refugees demand a return to their homes in pre-1967 Israel. If that were part of any deal that would of course destroy Israel as a Jewish state, it would be overrun. It's an extreme demand that nobody in Israel can or ever would accept, and until the Palestinians agree, as they haven't, to relinquish this right, there can't be a deal.

Off-topic, but I wrote this phrase in one of the essays I had to do for the ODU Writing Exit Exam. When I got it back it was corrected as "Bare with me." I passed so I didn't care, but it was one of those "WTF?" moments. I love ODU.

It ain't gonna happen, so what's the big deal?

"Bear" is right. The person "correcting" my essay was an idiot.

This. But it will give the right a few talking points in the near future. I personally don't care what happens over there as we have enough shit to deal with over here.

I like Obama's outlook, if it was ever going to satisfy both sides that's what I would go with. That being said, if I was the next President of the USA I would tell the Israelis & the Palestinians this:

"Look you two have wasted 60 years of Americans time. Let's face it, 600 years from now chances look pretty good you still won't have this settled, so I'm not going to wate my time. There are hundreds if not thousands of things more important in my agenda than to police your BS. If both of you have a mutually agreeable idea & want our help, call me, but otherwise, don't call us & we won't call you - have at it boys, you're on your own...."

Why should we give back lands that were taken from the sand niggers after they invaded our country? If Israel must give up our lands taken as a result of our military prowess then the 'late united states' should be forced to give up New Mexico, Arizona, Cali, and all islands gained by WWII. It's only fair. No suprise that a Moslem like barry sortoro is for a plan that benefits his and his daddies people.

All be moot at 6:00 PM on Saturday. (or is that mute, or mood, or mudt,)

Seriously. "Obama tells Israel to commit suicide."

+2.

And how about the exact same speech to Iraq, Afghanistan, North/South Korea, etc., etc., etc.

Report: Obama assured Netanyahu there would be no surprises



Letter from Bush to Sharon in 2004 and I don't see anything about wanting them to give up more land.

"That is why Prime Minister Netanyahu expected to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of U.S. commitments made to Israel in 2004, which were overwhelmingly supported by both Houses of Congress.

Among other things, those commitments relate to Israel not having to withdraw to the 1967 lines which are both indefensible and which would leave major Israeli population centers in Judea and Samaria beyond those lines."

the Mossad is probably "working up a #6" on barry as we speak.

Great. Maybe they can start doing without our cash and weapons.

Agreed. Let them fend for themselves.
