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."
This country may not survive until the next election, the way things are going!
My thoughts exactly.
Allen West is a TRUE American and Patriot.
No better friend.
No worse enemy.
Take no Prisoners, LTC (ret) West. NO PRISONERS!

Col. WEst on Obama
“Obama - third world dictator - Marxist demagogic rhetoric...low level Socialist agitator”
I think I may have fallen off the West ping list, please re-add me or tell me who to Pmessage
thanks :)
My prayer is that Sarah will endorse for and work to get Col. West elected and then he will pick her for VP -
totally unbeatable ticket
Congressman West was the first to release his disdain of Obama’s treatment of Israel. It is obvious that Obama hates Israel and sides with the terrorists whose only intention is the destruction of Israel.
God Bless Congressman West and God Bless Israel.
I will also add you to my Allen West ping list. :)
He may, in the long run. But I don't think he'll make the final decision until fall, at the earliest.
Listen carefully to his words. He feels he has to live up to the people's vote in his district that put him in Washington - he feels he must honor their wishes - however, he's learning that, not only THEY now wish, but people from all over the country wish he would run.
Listen carefully - This is as the group is asking him to run - most excellent answer, but listen to the last statement.

“If it be His will....”
“While the winds of democracy may blow strong in the Middle East” ......
Who the hell believes that ?
Hello? who's the Col. West Pinger???
Me and youscreamIscream99 wanna be on the list ;o)
God raises up His champions in the darkest hours.
try, seek the truth
I get all my good information from her.
Here is a speech Allen West gave back in January concerning support of Israel. Allen's knowledge of history is unmatched!
Thank you so much for sending this to me...
I am amazed at the clarity of his weekly letters, but this is just “dripping” with feeling and indignation at the speech by Obama today. I could almost see him emotionally delivering this speech.
I do not believe I have ever heard the meaning of the support for Israel or the importance to the United States expressed as clearly.
You were there right in the beginning of the support for him and you have taught many of us why that was true. He has a real champion in you and I for one thank you.
Allen West — America’s Churchill?
Pray that he is elected President in 2012!
The ironic thing about this is if he does win he will truly be our first black president. With honor. Does anyone feel the need to see his birth credentials? No. The man is an American through and through.
That was the beginning of my hubby and my support for Allen and we were delighted to actually get to meet him when he was a keynote speaker at our Free Republic National Convention in DC on 9/12/09.
We were there in District 22 to help in any way we could in 2010 and were delighted that the voters in District 22 made the right choice! Congressman West can certainly count on many supporters to be there for his re-election in 2012! We will be there too!
Thank You, Mr. Allen West.
