How can Israel have peace if it’s unwilling to delineate a border, end the occupation?’ asks White House Mideast chief, Phillip Gordon, in a blistering Tel Aviv speech.
Israel’s ongoing occupation of the West Bank is wrong and leads to regional instability and dehumanization of Palestinians, a top American government official said Tuesday in Tel Aviv, hinting that the current Israeli government is not committed to peace.
In an unusually harsh major foreign policy address, Philip Gordon, a special assistant to US President Barack Obama and the White House coordinator for the Middle East, appealed to Israeli and Palestinian leaders to make the compromises needed to reach a permanent peace agreement. Jerusalem “should not take for granted the opportunity to negotiate” such a treaty with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas, who has proven to be a reliable partner, Gordon said.

Delivering the keynote address at the Haaretz newspaper’s Israel Conference on Peace, Gordon reiterated Obama’s position that a final-status agreement should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed land swaps

My FAITH is in Christ alone. God's Word says " I will BLESS those who bless you; and him who dishonors you , I WILL CURSE" Gen 22:3 I will repeat again and for the final time, JUDGEMENT is coming to America. End of discussion.
BREAKING:
Barrage of Rockets fired towards Tel Aviv moments ago followed by sirens, multiple interceptions, no injuries
IDF Spokesperson:
Sirens were just heard across Israel. Initial indication suggests two rockets were intercepted above Tel Aviv area.
He looks Jewish.
I understood your post completely, Pollywog. Watching this train wreck is beyond frustrating, IMO.
BTW, I join you in prayer for Israel’s safety and security. And our own! Lord help us!
Isn’t this guy slated to be the next Pajama Boy? He’s certainly cut out for the job. A rootin’ tootin’ Dem dimwit. Let him go to Israel and experience firsthand a rocket attack or being kidnapped by his Pali pals. See if he doesn’t change his tune. But Dem dimwits, even when confronted by the truth, can’t seem to deviate from their libtard programmed agendas.
Hmmmmm ..?? Some nerve he has, lecturing Israel; Maybe he should look in the mirror and lecture himself - when is the president going to give the states “sovereignty, security, dignity” ..??
Such a hypocrite.
As long as you believe in God in the first place, you are good to go!
Thank-you and God Bless you!
Faith is belief in God.
Agreed... And it MUST be done with prejudice and a promise to return should things go off the rails...
I just wonder how our government would respond to missiles being lobbed into the US daily. I do not think we would give a damn about “restraint”...
“..Our so-called leaders in Washington are absolutely insane....”
Naaaa....They’re godless muslims. They’ve infiltrated the govt. and taken it over.
Eff you, hussein.
YHVH, shut the mouth of this WH spox who does violence against your peoples and your land.
IIRC, ALL of the goods that re used by the ‘Palistinians’ are brought INTO that area each & every day. Most come from their sworn enemies.
I certainly would NOT support my enemy—especially for a long, ongoing time frame which includes my getting attacked almost every day.
Time for Israel to put an end to this & turn that part of the world into glass.
Isn’t the West Bank what was called Samaria?
How about the White House expressing its distaste of capturing and murdering children?
Attacking an ally who was being attacked while this crypto-muslim-marxist a$$hat was delivering this speech by rockets fired by Barry's co-religionists. That really takes some kinda nerve.
That's not his real name. His real name is Abdul Hamat Aqmed Mohammed.
