Barack Obama endorsed a key Palestinian demand for the borders of its future state and prodded Israel to accept that it can never have a truly peaceful nation based on “permanent occupation.” Obama’s urging that a Palestinian state be based on 1967 borders — before the Six Day War in which Israel occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza — was a significant shift in the U.S. approach and seemed certain to anger Israel.
For Obama to Ask Benjamin Netanyahu to Sit down and Talk with Hamas Is like Asking Obama to Sit down and Talk with Al-quada. But thank God, this is NOT going to happen as long as Benjamin Netanyahu is in power.
But thanks Obama, you just clinched your defeat next year with this.
