Barack Obama Middle East speech: Palestinian state should be based on 1967 borders

Recommended Posts

"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.

about what we can expect from our fearless leader.

Rewards aggression - the aggressors lost in 1967, and they lost land as a result.

and has a huge out - there will never be a "sovereign, non-militarised state" so this thing falls apart quickly.

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

We've seen how well Palestinian security worked in Gaza after the Israelis withdrew there.
"What if there were no hypothetical questions?"

Even if the Israelis agreed to that.



i agree that it is very unlikely the israelis will give peace a chance...



That wasn't what I said. You seem to have a problem with reading comprehension.

That being said neither side is giving peace a chance. But especially the Palestinians. Their goal is the destruction of Israel.

No, they have never declared that.



they've never declared their nuclear weapons either...



no, though there's little reason to.

What we know without a doubt is that Hamas has declared it's intent to destroy Israel, as have most other neighboring nations, either currently, or for several decades.

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...

Nope, you have an ASSumption of this. But you have no actual proof. That's the difference between the two.



the proof is that there is no state of palestine but there is a state of israel. so whose state has been destroyed and by whom?

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

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)

so 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?
