(WASHINGTON) --- Congressman Allen West (FL-22) released this statement today:
"Today's endorsement by President Barack Obama of the creation of a Hamas-led Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders, signals the most egregious foreign policy decision his administration has made to date, and could be the beginning of the end as we know it for the Jewish state.
From the moment the modern day state of Israel declared statehood in 1948, to the end of the 1967 Six Day War, Jews were forbidden access to their holiest site, the Western Wall in Jerusalem's Old City, controlled by Jordan's Arab army.
The pre-1967 borders endorsed by President Obama would deny millions of the world's Jews access to their holiest site and force Israel to return the strategically important Golan Heights to Syria, a known state-sponsor of terrorism.
Resorting to the pre-1967 borders would mean a full withdrawal by the Israelis from the West Bank and the Jewish neighborhoods of East Jerusalem. Make no mistake, there has always been a Nation of Israel and Jerusalem has been and must always be recognized as its rightful capital.
In short, the Hamas-run Palestinian state envisioned by President Obama would be devastating to Israel and the world's 13.3 million Jews. It would be a Pavlovian style reward to a declared Islamic terrorist organization, and an unacceptable policy initiative.
America should never negotiate with the Palestinian Authority- which has aligned itself with Hamas. Palestine is a region, not a people or a modern state. Based upon Roman Emperor Hadrian's declaration in 73 AD, the original Palestinian people are the Jewish people.

For a man who is supposed to be a bright person...well, at least he told me he was...he has made decision after decision that confirms he’s an idiot. This decision concerning Israel is simply the most recent cow pie he’s added to his stack.
In 1967 Obama was a two year old who didn’t know a danged thing about Israel.
NOTHING’S CHANGED.
The Lord has spoken before to America with a strong hand and will do so again if America again tries to force Israel to give away her land.
Col. Allan West is the man who should be President, not the idiot currently in the WH.
Obama is doing his best to destroy America - one way or another.
I went to see Dachau when I was about 22.
ain’t been the same since
It done did change me.
Thank you for sharing that. Incredible!
BUMP!
What he and they do is deliberate.
Israel +PA+Jordan=3
Well I pray that God considers that almost half of us didn’t vote for that idiot.
You should check out Allen West’s Facebook page.
People are flat out demanding that he run for POTUS!
When Israel was attacked the muslims assumed the rights of conquest and they lost. The pre 1967 border was meaningless after that point.
This Man has earned my deepest respect for both his courage and understanding. I knew he was a conservative from Florida, but knew little else. After watching him on YouTube and his public statements, I believe he is truly on the path to greatness in the historical sense.
I will support West.
This guy has driven right past stupid and right into downtown dangerous!
Allen West - One of the few men in Washington with a pair of stones. I hope he never changes and we see this man elected POTUS one day.
Any chance he will run? I'm not particularly impressed by the current crop of candidates.
