Quote"The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognised borders are established for both states," Mr Obama said in a major speech on the Middle East. "The full and phased withdrawal of Israeli military forces should be coordinated with the assumption of Palestinian security responsibility in a sovereign, non-militarised state." "The duration of this transition period must be agreed, and the effectiveness of security arrangements must be demonstrated." Palestinian president Mahmud Abbas called an "urgent" meeting of Palestinian leaders immediately after the speech, a senior official said. Mr Obama also said that the United States must change its policy or face a deepening rift with the Arab world. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/barackobama/8524532/Barack-Obama-Middle-East-speech-Palestinian-state-should-be-based-on-1967-borders.htmlstay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Add to this that Obama must know that the Palestinians will never accept anything without the return rights. And Israel will never agree to that because they would be over run Obama knows exactly what he is doing Just another sound bite made"America will never be destroyed from the outside, if we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves."

Glitch 0 #17 May 19, 2011 Whose this 'we' you speak of? I've not seen or heard (aside from an individuals personal opinion on this board) anything to indicate that that Israel wants to destroy Palestine. What I have heard is that they want the bullshit mortar/rocket/terroristic attacks to STOP. But whatever... I don't have a dog in this fight. If it were up to me, I'd select 3 good sized nukes and rid the world of a few problem sites.... (think Jerusalem, Mecca, and the Vatican) and take the a reason for the fighting out of the equation. At anyrate, from the sheer number of threads you've created about the Israeli / Palestine debacle, it would appear that you do have a dog in it.... why don't you do something about it? Ever think about going over there and doing your part to protect the "innocent" Palestinians from the "evil and wicked" Israeli war mongers?Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born...

Are you sure you are not confusing the 1973 Yom Kippur War with the Six Day War of 1967? It is my impression that Israel started the 1967 War with their preemptive air strikes on Egypt, Jordan and Syria to take out the Arab air forces followed by Israeli land attacks which gave Israel their new territory. Egypt and Syria started the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Egypt and Syria started the 1973 Yom Kippur War. The key word there is preemptive Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egypt after the Egyptians moved forces into the Sinai, kicked out the UN observers and blockaded Israel's access to the red sea, all of which are acts of war. Syria had a military pack with Egypt and joined the war and Jordan joined based on the Egyptian lies that Israel was about to be destroyed (Israel urged king Hussain to stay out of it) "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero."

kelpdiver 2 #23 May 19, 2011 Quoteso israel started the war? You're English, so you know how to read. He wrote: "Israel launched a preemptive strike against Egypt after the Egyptians moved forces into the Sinai, kicked out the UN observers and blockaded Israel's access to the red sea, all of which are acts of war. " He very clearly states that Egypt started the war. Weren't you ranting for months about how Israel's blockade of Gaza was a war crime? But apparently not if Egypt does it?
