Netanyahu tells Obama: Israel cannot go back to the 1967 borders
Haaretz ^ | 5/20/11 | haaretz service

Posted on 05/20/2011 11:44:49 AM PDT by Nachum

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met with U.S. President Barack Obama in Washington on Friday, holding a closed door session in the Oval Office after which each delivered statements to the press.

The two leaders' comments come a day after the U.S. president's Mideast policy speech called for negotiations for two-state solution based on 1967 lines.

Obama opened the conference saying that the changes in the region such as what has happened in Egypt with the fall of Mubarak, are an opportunity for prosperity. He said that the 'Arab Spring' is a window for change, and that the United States plans to be closely involved.

If that president is a welfare recipient, I suppose he can “tell” him. In any case, this whole “dispute” was a show for the sheeple. Bibi’s welfare check was never in jeopardy.

The mainstream media remains silent on this but the International News has now picked up the story http://www.thenews.com.pk/top_story_detail.asp?Id=22164
— and then there is Obama’s $108 billion IMF bailout scheme http://michellemalkin.com/2009/05/13/obamas-100-billion-imf-bailout-scheme/
in addition to the Supplemental.

According to the Associated Press, the Obama administration will give away nearly $6 million of American tax dollars to restore 63 historic and cultural sites, including Islamic mosques and minarets, in 55 nations. See the State Department document here.

The Bible commands us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem (Psalm 122:6), to speak out for Zion’s sake (Isaiah 62:1), to be watchmen on the walls of Jerusalem (Isaiah 62:6) and to bless the Jewish people (Genesis 12:1-3). These and many other Bible verses have one overriding message— as Christians we have a Biblical obligation to defend Israel and the Jewish people in their time of need.

These people have NOT changed since the days of the Crusades in their thinking, they just upped their technology use to accomplish their goal. Dead Christians & Jews.

Vacating the Golan is dangerous. I can’t believe the president would seriously push that part of his speech.

If you think the Muslim-sympathizer-in-chief pushing for Israel to abandon the land most crucial to her defense is surprising, your assessment of him needs a major overhaul.

So what? What is your point? Obama, like Nixon before him, is putting EVERYONE, Israeli and Arab, on welfare. I’m against ALL that welfare. How about you?

Are you also “astounded” by that fact that I think we are giving too much welfare money to the Arabs? You seem to be unaware of this fact: the American taxpayer is broke and can now longer afford this joint and massive welfare payments to either Israelis or Arabs.

That’s what i keep saying! But very few are listening. i had an iranian friend in college in 1977 that went home to help with the new iran. he was never heard from again. Things turned bad quickly that year. it wasn’t supposed to be that way.

Obama is not “pushing” anything. This is all a charade as today’s press conference shows.

That “welfare” payment to Israel is money that Israel then spends back to the U.S. to purchase military hardware for both their defense of Israel and also for holding the line against a total takeover of the MidEast by the Muzzies. Israel is our frontline, watchdog, and eyes and ears on the ground as to what is fomenting in the always dangerous Middle East dictatorships which she is surroumnded by, it is where we get much of our military intelligence and spy intelligence through the Mossad. Israel is invaluable to our own security interests as well as ours. Not to mention that Israel is the only true democracy in the region, you know, like the U.S. Your myopic viewpoint astounds me.

The old joke:

Before Israeli Pali negotiations, the Israeli spokesperson asks if he can start with a little story. He begins, “Once, when Moses and the Israelites had arrived in the Holy Land, it was a very hot day and Moses wanted to bathe away some of the dust. He hung his robes on a tree branch and took a cooling swim in the ocean. When he came out of the water, his clothing was gone. He asked the other Israelites what had happened to his robes. “The Palestinians took your clothing, Rabbi!” they yelled.

At this point, the Palestinian negotiator angrily interrupted the story. “There WERE no Palestinians there at that time!”

The Israeli folded his hands. “Now that we have that fact established, let us proceed with the negotiations.”

My point is the Marxist/Muslim usurper is giving billions of American taxpayer dollars to Muslim hellholes who hate us- while Americans are losing their jobs and homes.
To other POTUS who have done this; to hell with them, too.
This insanity should be stopped.

“Israel is invaluable to our own security interests as well as ours”

Correction: Israel is invaluable to our own security interests as well as “theirs”

Rush had a hilarious segment I only partially caught, but he was suggesting running Netanyahu for Repub candidate for Pres and touting Netanyahu’s life lived in the US. Rush said we just need to find a Hawaiian birth certificate for Netanyahu.

You’re presenting a rational argument to someone wearing blinders. You are right, there’s more to this than just money.
