I will stand with Israel regardless of Obama showing his backside to them.
Like every real patriot American, I bet you would.

Finally we have a President who looks beyond appeasing evangelicals and focuses on people and how America's policies affect its standing globally. But hey, you would rather have one who continues bootlicking of Israeli authorities.

The 'Palestinian' struggle is a fraud perpetrated on the useful idiots in the west. In reality, it's as SourD says, these people are just instruments of the Arab world at large to take over Jerusalem and the rest of the Holy Land.

All the lefties' criticism about the US's foreign policy hinges on her friendshop with Israel. I suppose these people prefer the US to get cozy with Iran and Syria and Libya and North Korean and Venezuela, instead?
There's nothing wrong with patching up with your enemies, though it's not gonna happen.

But the Palestinians deserve a country of their own and they will get it, thanks to the first American President who understands reality for what it is

Jews aren't idiots. Forget American Jews, who are clearly more patriotic than the real patriots around here who can't get enough of Israeli policies, even Jews, a lot of them, inside Israel detest what their government is about.

Earlier today there was a thread that asked whether there were some telltale indications that would lead us to ignore a political post.

A thread like this, that starts out with a lie and goes downhill from there, is pretty high on my list.

Are you out of your mind?

Obama is not dictating to Israel or Palestine. He's not in a position to do so. So any comments he makes, just like comments made by Bush Sr, Clinton, Bush Jr, are STARTING POINTS. The United States is not one of the negotiating parties. Many, many countries have already recognized Palestine as an independent nation, using the pre-1967 borders. This is not something new. This is a long-standing point of the negotiations. The pre-1967 borders are fundamental to the discussions at hand because they have been fundamental to the discussion since Carter was in office, even before Carter was in office. Your paranoia with regards to a Caliphate is noted and unfounded.

Ask Neville Chamberlain how 'patching up' with his enemies worked out for him.

They'll get their country and in no time, the infighting will begin (it's happening already, these guys can't agree amongst themselves let alone get along with neighbours), and their country will tank, with Israel rolling in again to pick up the pieces and this time evict them for good.
