Hunter: 'Postage stamp' Israel should not give up 'one inch' of territory WASHINGTON — A contender for the Republican presidential nomination has ruled out an Israeli withdrawal as part of any peace accord with the Arabs.

Rep. Duncan Hunter, one of 10 Republicans vying for their party's 2008 presidential nomination, said Israel must not withdraw from "one inch" of territory as part of an Arab peace accord. Hunter, the former chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, termed Israel a "postage stamp of a country" that could not afford to cede territory.

On May 20, Hunter, a California Republican, voiced his position during a meeting with Christian Zionists in Alexandria, Va. He recalled his visit to the Golan Heights, the scene of intense armored battles with Syria during the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

Duncan Hunter is right on nearly every issue I’ve heard him opine on. Why is he getting nowhere? Is it just because the media has anointed Rudy McRomney? Hunter should be leading the republican race.

Why is he getting nowhere?

I've been wondering that myself.

I take it he supports sending our tax dollars to “support” the most productive economy in the Middle East.

Too bad Israel doesn’t have that kind of backbone.

BTW, didn’t Israel already try that whole “give up territory” approach? Maybe they should try *taking* territory next(?)

They’ve given up way too much already.

I agree, he’s a great conservative. Hunter suffers from an unfortunate self-perpetuating cycle. His low name identification prevents him from raising considerable money, and the lack of money in turn keeps his name identification low. To break out, you either have to have an incredibly slick media team, or more commonly have some characteristic that the MSM wishes to hype.

but then again maybe not

sure there is a lot of real estate there that belongs to them

but, biting off more will only increase their immigration problems!

Beware of who the Media hype - they love McCain and Guiliani because they’re big govt. Libs who incidentally are strong on National defense (sort of like Democrats pre-Vietnam). Hunter & Tancredo are both strong men who would be great for a strong and sovereign America - not so hard to figure out why the MSM don’t give those two much air time. I will vote for Hunter in the Primary because he truly is the best man. Maybe more will get it as time goes on.

Hunter was right on building the fence in our country, and probably likes the fence protecting Israel.
