Obama's borders Caused 60 Years of War

Obama has just given an eager world his fantasy answer for the last sixty years of Arab-Israel conflict. The Great One's long-awaited solution is for Israel to pull back to the cease-fire lines of the 1948 War of Independence, or what Obama, in a moment of historical amnesia, calls "the 1967 borders." People have fought and died over those borders since 1949, not 1967. Make that sixty years of regular warfare.

Take a quick glance at the Green Line on the map, and see if you can honestly answer this question:

"Would I want my family and children to live on the scary side of that lengthy, convoluted and meandering border, with Hamas and Hezbollah trying to breach the fence every night with knife-wielding maniacs and Grad rocket launchers?"

If you answered that question honestly, you cannot be a liberal. You know too much.

However, if you think the answer is "Yes, I'll do anything for peace, including putting my kids' lives on the line," then you are sucker bait for the most delusional political party in American history. And that includes the Bull Moose Party.

Robert Frost wrote that "Good fences make good neighbors." It's also true that "bad fences make bad neighbors." The Green Line is militarily dreadful, as the map shows. Obama's proposal is therefore strategically destructive.

What's worse, by raising impossible expectations in the Islamic world, expectations that are bound to be disappointed, Obama will end up making things much worse rather than much better. We'll be very lucky if a major Middle East war doesn't break out in the next few years, among emerging nuclear powers.

Yeah, but when you are in a war, you don’t give up territory where the enemy can get closer to you and shoot missiles.

From your FR page:

My advice to others on FreeRepublic.com is to not take yourself or others here too seriously. After all, this is supposed to be fun.

Hinting that someone with logical complaint about a voting pattern is somehow equated with hatred of Jews? Where is the fun in that?

Anyone that mentions that Jews are traitors for voting for a party/president that is hell-bent on dismantling Israel is a Nazi?

[papertyger]

When you’re in a war, aren’t you supposed to kill the enemy?

[MrB]

My take on those comments to which you took offense -

the poster was asking if the American Jews who voted for 0bama should be considered traitors TO ISRAELI JEWS. Get it?

[Vermont Lt]

Thats certainly one option!

[MrB]

That all goes back to the question of

What do you call the guy that’s in a fight and doesn’t know it (or simply denies it)?

The Loser.

Maybe be its just me, but marching Jews (or Jooos) off to ovens, somehow doesn't seem so funny. Maybe I need to lighten up for not seeing all the yuks.

The "logic" that you mention suggests that American Jews are liberals. You might want to listen to Mark Levin sometime; he's a Conservative Jew and has a very large national Conservative audience, many of whom are Jews. Neither Mark Levin nor his audience are treasonous.

Are you saying that Israel is a Catholic state? A Baptist state? Jeez.

1.5 million NON-Jews are citizens of Israel. Israelis despise Obama. Blaming "Jews" for Obama's election is simply a soft form of anti-Semitism. More Catholics and Baptists voted for Obama than Jews.

[Tzfat]

More jews live in the U.S. than Israel

Sorry, your "facts" are wrong.

[deadrock]

Are you saying that Israel is a Catholic state? A Baptist state?

Can you answer those simple questions?

Are you saying Israel is NOT a Jewish state, thus you join the ranks of the Palestinians and the hatred of everything Jewish?

[deadrock]

Who said anything about ALL Jews being traitors? Where? Point it out.

We are talking solely about liberal Jews voting for a party that wants to dismantle Israel as it is.

Let me guess, you are one of those Leftist that doesn't separate illegal immigration with legal when you call people racists for wanting to stop illegals from crossing the boarder.

[Tzfat]

Are you saying Israel is NOT a Jewish state, thus you join the ranks of the Palestinians and the hatred of everything Jewish?

Please. You are the one making the point about JOOOOS. Of course Israel is a Jewish state, but it was not JOOOOS that gave us Obama. It was Catholics, Baptists, Atheists, etc. Blaming JOOOOS for Obama is a nasty undercurrent in some FReepers minds. It is simply anti-Semitic. Israelis did not vote for Obama. Period. Jews are not the source of your problems, so back off.

[deadrock]

Are you saying that Israel is a Catholic state? A Baptist state?

Can you answer those simple questions? x3

Are you saying Israel is NOT a Jewish state, thus you join the ranks of the Palestinians and the hatred of everything Jewish?

[deadrock]

It is simply anti-Semitic.

Only in your simple mind.

[pyx]

Let me guess, you are one of those Leftist ...

BZZZT ! My suggestion is that you read more carefully and perhaps think twice before you click on reply.

Have a nice day.

[deadrock]

Stop posting Leftist nonsense. That way people wouldn’t be led on.

Look it up. I did. More jews living here than in Israel by 500,000 to 1,000,000. This number doesn’t include arabs living in Israel.

Nazi's hibernation period is over: Merkel backs Obama push for 1967 Israel border deal

What she said was "I think the proposal of taking the 1967 border and of considering the exchange of territory -- considering it and not dogmatically adhering to it -- would be a good and manageable path." At least that's the Reuters translation. Not exactly the return of the Third Reich.

[Tzfat]

The official 2010 numbers:

Israel 5,703,700
United States 5,275,000

[Scotsman will be Free]

Ok. The numbers I got showed the U.S. with over 6 million.
