For in doing so, he has broken decades of precedent with U.S. history; he has encouraged radical Muslims the world over to rally for indefensible borders; he has demanded a divided Jerusalem; and he has all but embraced Hamas and the genocidal Muslim Brotherhood.
Hamas has already responded: it says that Obama is delusional and that it will never recognize Israel's right to exist.Why is it that only conservative Republicans are defending Israel? Michele Bachmann, Sarah Palin, Herman Cain, Rick Santorum, Orrin Hatch, Mark Levin, Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity among them?
Where are Jewish liberals in Congress like Barney Frank, Schmuck Schumer, Anthony's Weiner, Barbara Boxer, Diane Feinstein, et. al.? AWOL. The camera hogs suddenly can't be found.
The nearest analogy I can come up with is this: President Obama has ordered Jews to the ghettos in preparation for a final, final solution.
Earlier today, reacting to Obama's speech, Benjamin Netanyahu told Obama to go pound sand.The only peace that will endure is one that is based on reality, on unshakable facts. I think for there to be peace, the Palestinians will have to accept some basic realities. The first is that while Israel is prepared to make generous compromises for peace, it cannot go back to the 1967 lines. Because these lines are indefensible. Because they don’t take into account certain changes that have taken place on the ground, demographic changes that have taken place over the last 44 years.
Remember that before 1967, Israel was all of 9 miles wide. It was half the width of the Washington beltway. These were not the boundaries of peace. They were the boundaries of repeated wars because the attack on Israel was so attractive for them. We can’t go back to those indefensible lines and we’re going to have to have a long-term military presence along the Jordan. . . .
We’ve been around for almost four thousand years. We’ve experienced struggle and suffering like no other people. We’ve gone through expulsions, pogroms and massacres and the murder of millions.
But I can say that even at the dearth, even at the nadir of the valley of death, we never lost hope and we never lost our dream of reestablishing a sovereign state in our ancient homeland, the land of Israel.
And now it falls on my shoulders as the Prime Minister of Israel, at a time of extraordinary instability and uncertainty in the middle east to work with you and fashion a peace that will ensure Israel’s security and will not jeopardize it’s survival.
Obama needs to do a little reading; to study some history; to find what really happened in the Middle East before he bloviates on topics he knows absolutely nothing about.

Israel doesn't need or want or need American support.
The Left is close to being politically dead in Israel. Israel is now controlled by the Nationalists. Obama can talk until he is blue in the face. It is totally irrelevant to the Israel Nationalist what he says.
Ron Paul is the only American politician who has it correct. Stay out of Israel's business and every other sovereign nation's business.
The days of the Leftist like Rabin having political power are long gone.
For an accurate analysis of what will happen in the Middle East read what Moshe Feiglin has said in this latest commentary.
Arab Spring Great Opportunity for Israel

Bibi was the picture of restraint, given Obama's declaration that "Israel must be able to defend itself, BY itself." That declaration is no less troubling than Obama's demand for pre-67 lines.
We must give up Arab neighborhoods in Jerusalem and return to the core of the territory that is the State of Israel prior to 1967, with minor corrections dictated by the reality created since then,”—Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, 2008
BTW: I am Jewish for what its worth
Can the above really be true? Is the Jewish American population completely brain dead? Are they so completely screwed up in their heads that they believe for one moment that the atrocities we see aimed day after day at Israel will not be aimed at them once Israel is destroyed? Do they think for one moment a President that openly embraces a radical element bent on the elimination of the Jewish people will even try to stop the insurrection that is already making itself evident around the country? This same slow creeping cancer that is the Anti-Jewish sentiment is exactly the same as Nazi Germany. The similarities are there for all to see. Of course, I and others will be vilified for even having the audacity to compare our President to Hitler, yet he is allowing this to happen. Between his perceived hate for the Jews (again, this is how I see it!) and his Chaimberlain like stance of “I believe they’ll negotiate in good faith” belief in the radical Muslims who are now apparently running things (this clown really does believe in his heart radicals can be reasoned with. I’ve never figured this out, yet year after year morons think one can deal with hateful radicals. Can’t be done!) Israel, All Jews and if someone will finally get their heads out of their asses and realize, Western civilization as we know it are in deep danger!
When I hear of those in the Jewish community who support Obama, while knowing his stance on this issue just boggles my mind. I’m also very upset and shocked that Hillary Clinton, who was always pro-Israel sat there in support of Obama when he gave this speech. who think they can negotiate with terrorists?
