House members side with Netanyahu
House lawmakers from both parties are siding with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over President Obama in their differing approaches to the Israel-Palestine border dispute.
Obama last week called for Israel's 1967 borders to mark the "foundation" for renewing stalled peace talks between the two sides – a concession to Palestine that Netanyahu has bluntly rejected, including in remarks to a joint meeting of Congress Tuesday.
"The vast majority of the 650,000 Israelis who live beyond the 1967 lines reside in neighborhoods and suburbs of Jerusalem and greater Tel Aviv," Netanyahu told lawmakers in his 45-minute address. "And under any realistic peace agreement these areas, as well as other places of critical strategic and national importance, will be incorporated into the final borders of Israel."
Rep. Robert Andrews (D-N.J.) said Tuesday that Obama is "tilting toward Hamas" – a reference to the Palestinian group the United States and Israel consider a terrorist organization. He emphasized that Congress would never base its approach to Israeli aid on such a position.

I’ve always just assumed that hussein was already part of Hamas.
MY BAD:I just remembered he told all of the states suffering from tornado disaster's; he will be back Sunday (he is too busy fluffing his ego drinking $1000 champagne and schmoozing on more free overseas travel)
They have purposely created a climate of intimidation to stop all opposition.
But it isn’t working.:)
I care more about America, Joplin, our troops, and Israel, than I do ‘Muslim outreach’.
I guess that makes me an outsider in America these days.
Everything is all about taking care of and supporting Islam. It is Obama’s number one priority.
can we get this letter onto the front page or breaking so all can see it and all can send it?
and just imagine if Bush was doing this while people were dying and losing homes.
Then he lectures the Uk about who they are at war with and not islam, he harps on about minorities and peace , then he had to mention slavery
The man is an embarrassment and dumb, the media have surely been paid off for the most part and most of talk radio can go to hell too seeing as they only repeat themselves.
If people on here see that letter you wrote and do not send theirs then we have a big problem within the conservative circles let alone republicans
his muslims outreach, hell the man is always at it,
Yet again he did the same outreach to muslims and islam in the Uk today.
The man is a complete embarrassment and dumb as hell.
He stood there like he thought he was the leader of the world after he lectured our ally.
Done. Thanks so much for the template:)
Tilting?
The man is tipping over
Why should the starting point for negotiations not be Israel’s 1948 borders, i.e. those that existed before Arab countries invaded Israel?
Thanks Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!.
