Congressman Allen West Response to President Barack Obama's Call for a Two State Solution in Israel -May 19
"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.
It's time for the American people to stand by our strongest ally, the Jewish State of Israel, and reject this foreign policy blunder of epic proportions.
While the winds of democracy may blow strong in the Middle East, history has demonstrated that gaps in leadership can lead to despotic regimes. I have questions for President Obama: 'Who will now lead in Egypt?' and 'Why should American taxpayers provide foreign aid to a nation where the next chapter in their history may be the emergence of another radical Islamic state?'
President Obama has not stood for Israel or the Jewish people and has made it clear where the United States will stand when Palestine attempts to gain recognition of statehood by the United Nations. The President should focus on the real obstacle to security- the Palestinian leadership and its ultimate goal to eliminate Israel and the Jewish people."
God Bless Rep. West.
Thank you, sir.
the money quote ...
And yet the Jewish community voted for him. They knew he hated Israel and the Jews but they fell over themselves putting him in office.
What an awesome man and great response to the Marxist Muslim Mumbler.
God Bless Rep. West.
God bless Congressman West. I have been praying for God to bring up strong, God fearing, leaders to help us through these perilous times - maybe he is one of them. Pray for America and pray for the protection of Israel!
God bless Representative West.
May God bless Allen West & Israel. Fear not. We know how it all ends. Prayers for Israel.
God Bless Congressman Allen West!
We The People support Israel, even though Obama does not!
God Bless Israel!
Amen to that, and Lord keep a hedge of protection around him and his family.
Indeed.
Unafraid to ask the hard questions Bump.
May God give us strength.

If life were really ‘fair’ Mr West would have been our first black president!
A fine soldier and a good and decent man!
Congressman West is great!!
Oh wait, I can’t say that because I despise Zero which makes me a racist.
Hey Joe Lieberman, how do you like your Bozo now?
Even now those very same American Jewish voters are at last waking up to the TRUTH:

The Israelis would have to have a death wish to return to the 1967 borders. Why is Bibi even coming here this week? He should just go home and tell Obama to stuff it.
“Hey Joe Lieberman, how do you like your Bozo now?”
...and you too “Mr. I Was In The IDF” Rahm Emmanuel.
God Save the United States and Israel.
Joe has been pretty quiet these days, hasn’t he? Come on, Joe: we know you’re retiring next year - you’ve made that clear enough. Grow a pair and take a stand against the Marxist usurper.
