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."
I’m very proud that this man represents Florida. He is the best politician I’ve ever seen from this state.
EXCELLENT! You certainly made the difference VERY CLEAR!
The Jews in this Nation are for the most part a privileged group living on the bounties provided by a free Nation. Jews could care less about Israel than those who sold out to the Soviet Union. I have a relationship with Jewish people that gives me belief that many are ordinary, hard working that love the USA as oppsed to the ‘rich’ Jews who do see money/wealth as giving prestige for political influence and survival for their own selves.
Needed fixin'
Please share the link to this thread will everyone you can. We need Americans everywhere to learn the truth about how Obama is siding with Terrorists over our only friend in the Middle East, Israel!
How true. Perfect.
I do not like Zero, but, I do not despise him. The ones I despise are the ones that put him in power and inflicted him on me. Without them he would only be another turd in the sewer that is Chicago.
God bless you, Col. West!
I wish he would run, darn it!
Those are #1 on my list.
Americans in Israel voted for McCain in overwhelming numbers. American Jews rarely vote based on Israel.
Where are our fearless "leaders"? The speech was six hours ago. Have they fainted from the vapors or are they simply too busy reaching out to their good friends across the aisle to notice the Trojan Horse we have let into our home is opening up?
As far as I can see, Allen West is the only real American leader in Washington!
The silence from other Republicans means they agree with the Obama Progressive/Marxist/ members of Congress.
That is where we part company.
They will vote for and support obama again. He fooled them once, he will fool them again. Maybe not in the same way, but, they will be fooled again when needed.They voted for him the first time because they hate America and he hates America. Nothing has changed there.
The parasites that voted for him because of the freebies he promised but did not deliver.No problem.The Republicans would not let me do_____, but vote for me again and I will do this and that.Free this, free that, free the other and come election day the parasites will be back on the plantation.
And last beu not least, the obamas are the symptom, not the problem. The problem is the people who put the obamas in power. The Nation can survive the obamas. It cannot and will not survive those who put the likes of obama in power.
Thank you Rep West. God bless you!
