(WASHINGTON) --- Congressman Allen West (FL-22) released this statement today:
"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.

I beg him every day on FB to run. I am praying he does.
He released a statement that he was focusing on winning back his House seat however I believe he could be tapped to be VP.
Hell, SECDEF at the very least!
He drips with leadership.
I saw Dacau twice the first time it was very fogy it was like out of a movie! I felt bad that I could just walk in, so many could not ever walk out. I saw the pockmarked wall used for executions and the ovens! It made one feel so bad, Our president Sucks, he has no clue! I hope he looses the Jewish vote, but I will not hold my breath!
Makes two of us! ;)
Now 0bama will want to placate Mexico by returning the USA to the Pre-1854 borders! Probably should joke about this because it will probably come true.
He has said he wants to finish his term in the House but hinted he would consider running if his constituents let him. There are many, many people who are begging him to run in 2012. I am one of them! He is on Twitter and Facebook and is very open about his position on issues. You never need to wonder where he stands. He is very accessible.
AMERICA NEEDS WEST!!!!
Someone should ask him that. Words can’t express how much I hate him.
Fabulous statement from a REAL American. Perfect.
Visited Dachau back in the mid-1960's when I was about the same age. As terrible as Dachau was it was pale in comparison to the other death camps like Auschwitz, Treblinka, Belzec, etc.. The Jews who managed to survive the Holocaust and make their way to what became Israel are made up of sturdy resolve, which served them well in the wars that led up to modern day Israel. Obama is simply a small blip on their radar screen ... his political pontificating means nothing ... he in time will go away.
Palin / West 2016
West / Ryan 2020
West / Ryan 2024
Ryan / ? 2028...
When I was there it was a nice July day. But the absolute feeling of dread and suffering had even the kids walking around like shell-shocked zombies.
Bad place. Bad, bad vibe.
I recommend EVERY person walk through one of those places.
Like I said upthread. It done did change me.
Sounds good to me!
Actually, that would be 1846 - before the start of the Mexican War, and probably 1836 since that would include Texas. :)
I tend to believe that our illegal immigration problem is Divine comuppance for trying to strongarm Israel into negotiating with terrorists by ceding its territory.

Draft Col. West!
He is still acting like a two year old.
NOTHINGS CHANGED
Beg to differ......Obama is no longer
two. (tee-hee)
For a man who is supposed to be a Christian...well, at least he told me he was...he has made decision after decision that confirms he’s anything but.
bingo.... the Right answer.
