Obama forced to listen.....if looks could kill.....?
SCHOOLED!
Bibi to Obama: Peace based on illusions will crash on rocks of reality
About going back to those “pre-1967″ borders, Mr. President…..
“It’s not going to happen. Everyone knows it’s not going to happen. And you know it’s not going to happen…and you should tell the Palestinians it’s not going to happen…”
It’s as if the Israeli Prime minister is politely but firmly lecturing a child…
Oh wait.
This was some of the most astounding live television I have ever seen. Obama’s body language is dismissive, condescending. Watch his eyes. If he could have sent lightning bolts into Netanyahu, he would have.
But here’s my favorite quote: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.
“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.”
Note:
The only thing missing at the end of PM Netanyahu's comments was the Ha Tikva! Bravo Bibi! We waited to hear from you, after listening to Obama's shocking reversal of U.S. foreign policy. Your comments have given all who love and support Israel here in the United States HOPE!
