(Reuters) - Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu bluntly told President Barack Obama on Friday his vision for the borders of a future Palestinian state would leave the Jewish state with an "indefensible" frontier.
Netanyahu's remarks after the White House talks underscored how a new U.S. push for Middle East peace had opened one of the deepest divides in years in relations between the United States and close ally Israel.
"Peace based on illusions will crash eventually on the rocks of Middle East reality," an unsmiling Netanyahu told Obama in the Oval Office.

Bibi gives Bambi the smackdown he so richly deserves.
Our GOP leaders should take note...
Glad to see Bibi is not taking a lot of chit off Barry.
What was Olala thinking when he made that proposal? Also, has anyone heard what Hillary has to say about it?
It’ll be interesting to see what kind of reception Obama gets from AIPAC this Sunday. My guess is that it won’t be quite as warm as the one Congress gives to Bibi.
“What was Olala thinking when he made that proposal?”
Proposal? Sounded more like another COMMAND from Planet Earth’s Exalted Leader.
The leftmedia will call Netanyahu ‘intransigent’ but reasonable people that know even a little bit about the geography of Israel and the history of ‘Palestinian’ violence against Israel at every turn will realize that Netanyahu is simply being rational and Obama, who isn’t really all that naive, is being devious and, ultimately, making a bad situation much worse. Under the circumstances, Netanyahu was being gracious.
Oh, yes, Obama is so strong on foreign policy since he killed bin laden...NOT. He manages to do the right thing and say “yes” to the raid but two weeks later completely fumbles the Israeli peace process.
I am so glad we FINALLY have a president who knows how to make friends in the Middle East.
his vision for the borders of a future Palestinian state would leave the Jewish state with an “indefensible” frontier.
Of course it would. That is obama’s point. One more bow to islam and muslim.
Hill was drunk! w/sarc I think?
It really was an amazingly pointless proposal. It didn't even please the Muslim world. Far from making Obama look the role of World Peacemaker it made him look like a buffoon blowing half baked and unstudied proposals out his ass.
Guess he couldn't say "BIT*# SLAPPED" :)
“....Also, has anyone heard what Hillary has to say about it?”
I thought Hillary was off reinventing herself.
The whole world has gone mad; why does the state of Israel have to give the Palestinians anything? The Palestinians are a fake people..a ploy created by the Arab League...the Palestinian Authority was formed in 64...presumably their charter is take all of Israel. I cannot understand why westerners speak of peace with terrorist groups like Hamas...it’s pure hatred on their part and complete stupidity on our part.
Good video here that explains why Israel needs to maintain it’s current borders.
