After the UN finishes with Israel, maybe it’ll demand the USA return lands it won in the Mexican War.

This is why the palis don’t come to an agreement, because they know that the next foolish Westerner will make them a better offer. We need to make it clear to them that future offers will be not as good, and every year the deal gets worse.

True – but this will not happen unless we can make the future of Israel a specific issue in the 2012 campaign. The only potential Republican candidate I can see doing that is Sarah Palin. None of the others have said much about Israel.

“‘A major objective of this initiative, among others, is to prevent a disaster for Israel from occurring at the United Nations General Assembly in September, when the Palestinians have said they will see a unilateral declaration of statehood,’ Mitchell said. “The president spoke out strongly against that. We oppose it. And the way to prevent that from occurring is to provide an alternative in direct negotiation that would foreclose or make not necessary that option.’”

What insanity…

If you want a Nation you need have land that is not claimed by anyone else and have a population on it that wishes to form a State. Then the State utilizes the powers granted to it so as to have discourse with other Nations at the status of a Nation.

The Palestinians could have done that in 1948.

When control was ceded by the British that was it: no matter what the UN declared as ‘borders’ it was land that had no State nor Nation upon it. The Israeli’s didn’t ask ‘permission’ to form a State and Nation, they just went ahead and did so. There is no formal ‘routine’ for doing this so long as it includes a declaration of government, what the borders are, how the system is run and who does what with respect to outside actors in the form of Nations. During the Lebanese Civil War you could find mini-States in neighborhoods with their own charters and ruling groups and a few ingenious ones made their own flags and uniforms. If folks in the midst of a Civil War only a few years into it can figure this out, then what is wrong with the Palestinians?

I’m sorry, Mr. Mitchell, but that is no horror you are describing, the self-declared Nation-State, it is the usual process of affairs. The transnational elite wanted a different process… notice the amount of blood spilled to now get back to square one and do it the right way? The Palestinians aren’t ‘victims’ they are idiots for not doing it the right way and giving the finger to the transnational elite. All you need is one or two other Nations to accept diplomatic relations and you get a form of ‘legitimacy’ and ‘standing’ amongst your brother Nations.

Is that so very hard to understand?

Simple, neat, easy and when you declare war on a neighbor you can LOSE with honor and grace. Its almost like that idea horrifies the Palestinians….

More importantly, Obama seems to regard the Constitution’s limits as quaint. We see it in his rhetoric and his actions.

Don L:An excellent point,and on this Middle East President
ClusterFark,Obama’s Preachs/Speechs,he is sending a
chrystal clear message,that Obama is on their side,
and has a track-record of throwing Israel,under the
bus!!

All of the information about Obama seems not to exist,
but does leave a Marxist/Socialist/Progressive learn
ed warped teachings of who he associated with,and it
should be clear to all,

that Obama’s Vision of America,is very dark,and warped
one!!

Netanyahu showed exactly how to respond to the prolixities and pauses of the teleprompter-dependent president.

As a teacher of some thousands of student over my many years, I can assure you that teaching and learning are two distinct entities – and those names you feel will be up against the wily and unconscionable would-be messiah, appear to students that would never understand that it’s okay sometimes to “run with scissors.”

Candidate’s Report Card: too timid, too cautious, too Republican, too eager to get along with classmates in the other room, too satisfied with themselves,too worried about the weather (always checking the wind direction), unwilling to mix it up with the other teams on the playground, too concerned with neatness and appearance, too, well, too unteachable!

Does Obama even understand what the word ‘contiguous’ means?

Good Nite i’m outta here.

So, you are too lazy to provide me with a link so that I won’t have to type in “Free Republic” into my search box? man…

Obama clarifications about considering the 1967 borders as the basis for peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians, but not necessarily as the final ones.”

Which is it – The above or this?

…he was told over 24 hours ahead of time that Obama would propose a Palestinian state based on 1967 borders, and had …

The real victim in dealing with all of progressivism is TRUTH
