President Barack Obama endorsed the Palestinian position on the 1967 lines in 2011 and by so doing altered more than 40 years of American policy without prior consultation with Israel, former ambassador to the US Michael Oren writes in a book to be published later this month.

Self-loathing, possibly.
It has taken an inordinate amount of time for some of Obama’s most loyal and financially generous supporters that Obama is an anti Zionist. His emotional sympathies are with the Palestinians.
Israel may be America’s ally and America may be Israel’s ally but Israel is NOT OBAMA’S ally nor that of any of the multitude of Democrats the American Jewish voters seem to reelect almost as a religious exercise.

Pretty much what Arafat rejected in 2000 and Abu Mazen rejected in 2008
