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.

Why in the heck would you believe ANYTHING Obama says? He is a lying machine IMO. All his campaign promises have been LIES!
ReplyDeleteIf Obama has true intents on establishing the 1967 borders, then he must show his heart is in the right place. He must stop all supply blockades first and restore human rights to the Palestinians. Who in their right mind would believe that Obama will leap a giant step and have Israel suck it up and release lands illegally held by them??
Small steps, and actions will be the true telltale of Obama's heart...if he has one.
