21 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
23 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people.
24 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.

14 Wherefore hear the word of the LORD, ye scornful men, that rule this people which is in Jerusalem.
15 Because ye have said, We have made a covenant with death, and with hell are we at agreement; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, it shall not come unto us: for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:
16 Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste.
17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall sweep away the refuge of lies, and the waters shall overflow the hiding place.
18 And your covenant with death shall be disannulled, and your agreement with hell shall not stand; when the overflowing scourge shall pass through, then ye shall be trodden down by it.
19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall take you: for morning by morning shall it pass over, by day and by night: and it shall be a vexation only to understand the report.

Israel Expects Obama to Take Back 1967 Lines Demand
by Gil Ronen MAY 20,11


Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was quick on the draw Thursday in voicing clear displeasure with President Barack Obama’s mideast policy speech.Israel appreciates President Obama’s commitment to peace,the response began, curtly.Israel believes that for peace to endure between Israelis and Palestinians, the viability of a Palestinian state cannot come at the expense of the viability of the one and only Jewish state.That is why Prime Minister Netanyahu expects to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of U.S. commitments made to Israel in 2004, which were overwhelmingly supported by both Houses of Congress.Among other things,Netanyahu reminded Obama,those commitments relate to Israel not having to withdraw to the 1967 lines which are both indefensible and which would leave major Israeli population centers in Judea and Samaria beyond those lines.Those commitments also ensure Israel’s well-being as a Jewish state by making clear that Palestinian refugees will settle in a future Palestinian state rather than in Israel.

Without a solution to the Palestinian refugee problem outside the borders of Israel, no territorial concession will bring peace.Equally, the Palestinians, and not just the United States, must recognize Israel as the nation state of the Jewish people, and any peace agreement with them must end all claims against Israel.Prime Minister Netanyahu will make clear that the defense of Israel requires an Israeli military presence along the Jordan River.Prime Minister Netanyahu will also express his disappointment over the Palestinian Authority’s decision to embrace Hamas, a terror organization committed to Israel’s destruction, as well as over Mahmoud Abbas’s recently expressed views which grossly distort history and make clear that Abbas seeks a Palestinian state in order to continue the conflict with Israel rather than end it.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

GOP Slams Obama on Israel
by Elad Benari MAY 20,11


Members of the U.S. Republican party, some of them presidential hopefuls, on Thursday criticized President Barack Obama’s speech on the Middle East and accused him of betraying Israel.President Obama has thrown Israel under the bus, Former Massachusetts governor and potential 2012 presidential candidate Mitt Romney said in a statement quoted on Politico.com.He has disrespected Israel and undermined its ability to negotiate peace. He has also violated a first principle of American foreign policy, which is to stand firm by our friends.Romney, who is well acquainted with Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu, visited Israel in January.Minnesota House member Michele Bachmann also responded to the presidential speech, saying on her Twitter account that Obama had betrayed our friend and ally Israel. Obama’s call for 1967 borders will cause chaos, division & more aggression in Middle East and put Israel at further risk.Minnesota governor Tim Pawlenty, also a potential Republican candidate for the presidency, called Obama’s call for Israel return to the so-called 1967 borders – the 1949 Armistice Lines which are considered indefensible by defense experts – a mistaken a very dangerous demand.In a statement quoted in Politico, Pawlenty said that the city of Jerusalem must never be re-divided. To send a signal to the Palestinians that America will increase its demands on our ally Israel, on the heels of the Palestinian Authority’s agreement with the Hamas terrorist organization, is a disaster waiting to happen. At this time of upheaval in the Middle East, it's never been more important for America to stand strong for Israel and for a united Jerusalem.

Florida Republican Allen West also blasted Obama’s speech in a statement he released and which was quoted by Newsmax:Today’s endorsement by President Barack Obama of the creation of a Hamas-led Palestinian state based on the pre-1967 borders, signals the most egregious foreign policy decision his administration has made to date, and could be the beginning of the end as we know it for the Jewish state,said West.The pre-1967 borders endorsed by President Obama would deny millions of the world’s Jews access to their holiest site and force Israel to return the strategically important Golan Heights to Syria, a known state-sponsor of terrorism, he added and emphasized that there has always been a Nation of Israel and Jerusalem has been and must always be recognized as its rightful capital.West also said that the Hamas-run Palestinian state envisioned by President Obama would be devastating to Israel and the world’s 13.3 million Jews. It would be a Pavlovian style reward to a declared Islamic terrorist organization, and an unacceptable policy initiative. He called for the United States to never negotiate with the Palestinian Authority- which has aligned itself with Hamas.West called on the American people to stand by our strongest ally, the Jewish State of Israel, and reject this foreign policy blunder of epic proportions…The President should focus on the real obstacle to security- the Palestinian leadership and its ultimate goal to eliminate Israel and the Jewish people.In his speech at the State Department, Obama called for two states for two peoples with permanent borders based on the 1967 lines with agreed upon swaps.He also mentioned that the PA state should be contiguous.

Our policy is two states for two peoples,Obama said.Israel as a Jewish state for the Jewish people. Palestine as a Palestinian state for the Palestinian people. A viable Palestine; a secure Israel.The president also called on PA Chairman Mahmoud Abbas to recognize Israel as a Jewish state and maintained that the PA state be demilitarized. He rejected unilateral moves by Palestinian Authority leaders to achieve a declaration of statehood outside of negotiations in the United Nations in September, saying efforts to isolate Israel in the UN, and delegitimize Israel, won't achieve statehood.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Shomron Liaison Office: Obama's Homeland Preposterous
by Gavriel Queenann MAY 20,11


Yaakov David Ha'ivri, Director of the Shomron Liaison Office, responded Thursday to US president Barack Obama's mideast policy speech, saying Obama's definition of of a Jewish homeland is preposterous.We welcome President Obama's strong statements on the requirement of the Jewish State's security, Ha'ivri said in a statement.But categorically reject his call for dialogue with the internationally recognized terror organization Hamas.Unfortunately, President Obama and the majority of the citizens of Israel are speaking different languages. The president agreed that the Jews should have a state in their historical homeland, but his definition of homeland is preposterous. The historical land of the Jewish people are the very areas which he supports giving to the local branch of the Muslim Brotherhood; the ideological grandfather of Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda, Ha'Ivri said of Obama's call to a full and phased withwrawal by Israel to 1967 lines.These two statements by the president do not jibe. It is impossible for Israel to live securely in its homeland if it is required to give away its homeland to the affiliate organization whose leader the US president just signed the assassination order for. Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) are non-negotiable and any further discussion of compromising Israeli sovereignty in them will be unequivocally rejected,Ha'Ivri said.

Only an empowered and secure Israel will bring peace to the region. Forcing Israel's hand will ruin any chance for the regional peace President Obama so desires.Obama's speech, which GOP presidential hopeful Mit Romney termed throwing Israel under a bus,essentially endorsed PA chairman Mahmoud Abbas' demand for borders based on 1967 lines - in truth the 1948 armistice lines - before negotiations begin.(Israel NationalNews.com)

Danon: Obama Has Adopted Arafat's Plan; Eldad - Insanity! by Gavriel Queenann MAY 20,11

Nationalist Israeli lawmakers were taken aback by US President Barack Obama's new chapter in American diplomacy outlined Thursday during his much expected Mideast policy address at the State Department.Obama ambushed Netanyahu, who had outlined Israel's conditions for peace earlier this week, and demanded a full and phased withdrawal by Israel from occupied lands citing the 1967 border. Before his address, Obama had assured Israeli officials he would not address specifics of the Arab-Israeli conflict.President Barack Hussein Obama adopted the phased plan of Yasser Arafat, MK Danny Danon (Likud) told Israel National News - noting Arafat's plan was not for peace, but for the gradual destruction of Israel, piece by piece.

He is demanding [of] Netanyahu a withdrawal from all of Judea and Samaria without even ending the conflict. He left the Prime Minister only one option, which is to tell him to forget about it,Danon said.Danon also lauded Prime Minister Netanyahu's strong response to Obama's position, which included the demand that the US honor commitments made to the Jewish state in 2004 by former President George W. Bush.I commend the prime minister for issuing a clear response that this policy is unacceptable, Danon said.Aryeh Eldad (National Union) said Obama's position was nothing knew – and definitively insane.I wonder why all the pundits were so excited about Obama saying 1967 borders as if he invented something knew. We tend to forget these were the Clinton guidelines, that Barak negotiated with Arafat based on them. Ehud Olmert also negotiated on these terms with Abu Mazen - and they all failed, Eldad said.It is a wonder the American president forgot Einstein's definition of insanity, Eldad said with characteristic dry humor. That Insanity [is] doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.Prime Minister Netanyahu is expected to address the US Congress on May 24.(IsraelNationalNews.com)

Prodding Israel, Obama embraces Palestine borders
By BEN FELLER, AP White House Correspondent – MAY 19,11


WASHINGTON – Exasperated by stalled Middle East peace talks in a season of tumultuous change, President Barack Obama jolted close ally Israel Thursday by embracing the Palestinians' terms for drawing the borders of their new nation next door. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel rejected the idea as indefensible on the eve of his vital White House meeting with Obama.The U.S. president said that an independent Palestine should be based on 1967 borders — before the Six Day War in which Israel occupied East Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza — as adjusted by possible land swaps agreed upon by both sides. He said Israel can never live in true peace as a Jewish state if it insists on permanent occupation.Obama's effort to salvage a peace effort that is in shambles was a major change in tactics for a president running out of patience and reasons to be subtle. The Israeli-Palestinian stalemate has remained immune to the popular uprisings and historic drives for freedom that have swept much of the region.He pushed both sides to accept his starting point — borders for Palestine, security for Israel — and get back to solving a deadlock that has grinded on and on and on.In a sweeping review of recent uprisings and authoritarian crackdowns across the Arab world, Obama was also unsparing in his words for the Palestinian leadership, repudiating its pursuit of unilateral statehood through the United Nations and questioning its alliance with a Hamas faction bent on Israel's destruction.

At a time when the people of the Middle East and North Africa are casting off the burdens of the past, the drive for a lasting peace that ends the conflict and resolves all claims is more urgent than ever, Obama said, playing the rapid change of the past six months against a standoff that has stymied the Mideast for decades.
More broadly, before a polite diplomatic audience at the State Department, Obama sought to clarify the U.S. role toward a part of the world undergoing a transformation. He implored the American people to see that it is worth devoting U.S. might and money to help stabilize a dangerous region and help people fighting for freedom.There must be no doubt that the United States of America welcomes change that advances self-determination and opportunity, the president said. Yes, there will be perils that accompany this moment of promise. But after decades of accepting the world as it is in the region, we have a chance to pursue the world as it should be.It was Obama's explicit endorsement of the 1967 borders that changed the dynamic.
The U.S., the international community and even past Israeli governments have endorsed the idea of an agreement based on the 1967 lines, but Obama's new emphasis was a clear prodding for Israel to act.The way Obama put it means the U.S. now accepts 1967 lines, with land swaps, as the basis for the borders of a Palestinian state — and not just that such a result would be the desired outcome of negotiations, as had been the U.S. stand.The United States insists, too, that Israel end up with a safe, secure state without fear of attack from Palestinians.In a cool statement released late Thursday in Jerusalem, Netanyahu rejected a full withdrawal from the West Bank, saying the 1967 lines would leave major Jewish settlements outside Israel. It was unclear whether Obama's stand would be enough to persuade the Palestinians to drop their push for U.N. recognition of their statehood.

In the run-up to the president's speech, the White House had sought to downplay the role of the Mideast peace standoff in his address, emphasizing instead other elements such as his proposed financial support for Egypt and Tunisia, two nations that have risen up and embraced democracy. But the address only served to underscore how central the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is to the stability of the whole region and the political interests of the United StatesObama sought to give perspective to a five-month period in which thousands have died in protests for human rights, two countries' leaders have been toppled, others are teetering, the U.S. has been drawn into an armed conflict in Libya and America has launched a stunning, successful mission to find and kill Osama bin Laden in Pakistan. The president tried to minimize bin Laden's reach even in death, saying his al-Qaida vision of destruction had already been deemed a dead end by those wanting a better life.Moving country by country, Obama offered his toughest words yet for Syrian President Bashar Assad, in whom the U.S. has lost hope as a reformer given his government's bloody crackdown on dissidents. Obama did not call for Assad to step down but did accuse him of murdering his people. The Syrian people have shown their courage in demanding a transition, Obama said.President Assad now has a choice: He can lead that transition or get out of the way.One 24-year-old Syrian said the U.S. president was too late.It's too bad hundreds of people died before he made the speech, said Mustafa, who fled the coastal town of Banias, which has seen some of the biggest protests in recent weeks, and who did not give his surname for fear of reprisals.I think it's too late for Assad to lead a peaceful transition to democracy after all that happened.In seizing his own Mideast moment, Obama offered a speech that was in some ways notable for what he did not mention.While critical of autocracy throughout the Mideast, he failed to mention the region's largest, richest and arguably most repressive nation, U.S. ally Saudi Arabia. Nor did he mention Jordan, a staunch U.S. ally that has a peace deal with Israel. Also left out was the United Arab Emirates, the wealthy, pro-American collection of mini-states on the Persian Gulf.

On the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, he raised the question of Hamas but did not seek to answer it. A proposed unity Palestinian government would pair the Fatah-dominated administration in the West Bank and the Gaza-run Hamas, which is considered a terrorist organization by the U.S. and seeks to destroy Israel.How can one negotiate with a party that has shown itself unwilling to recognize your right to exist? Obama asked.In the weeks and months to come, Palestinian leaders will have to provide a credible answer to that question.Obama also conceded that borders were just a start. He had no blueprint for resolving enormous conflicts over the status of Jerusalem and the fate of Palestinian refugees.And he gave little attention to Iran, where U.S. attempts at outreach have gone nowhere.On Yemen, a key partner in the U.S. fight against al-Qaida, Obama called on President Ali Abdullah Saleh to keep his commitment to transfer power. On Bahrain, home to the U.S. Navy's Fifth Fleet, Obama said the only way forward is dialogue between the government and opposition, and you can't have a real dialogue when parts of the peaceful opposition are in jail.Associated Press writers Matthew Lee and Erica Werner in Washington, Dan Perry and Josef Federman in Jerusalem, Karin Laub in Ramallah, Zeina Karam in Beirut and Robert Reid in Cairo contributed to this report.Online:

Israel's Netanyahu: 1967 borders can't be defended
By JOSEF FEDERMAN, Associated Press – Thu May 19, 5:00 pm ET


JERUSALEM – Israel's prime minister on Thursday gave a cool reception to President Barack Obama's Mideast policy speech, warning a withdrawal from the West Bank wold leave Israel vulnerable to attack and setting up what could be a tense meeting at the White House.In his speech, Obama endorsed the Palestinian position on the borders of their future state, saying it should be based on Israel's lines before the 1967 Mideast war. Israel captured the West Bank, east Jerusalem and Gaza Strip in the fighting, and the Palestinians claim those areas for their state.Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas planned to convene a meeting with senior officials as soon as possible to decide on the next steps, said Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat.

Abbas is determined to give President Obama's effort and that of the international community the chance they deserve, Erekat said.The U.S., the international community and even past Israeli governments have endorsed a settlement based on the 1967 lines, but Obama was far more explicit than in the past. His position appeared to put him at odds with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has not accepted the concept.Reacting to Obama's speech, Benjamin Netanyahu rejected a full withdrawal from the West Bank, saying the 1967 lines were indefensible and would leave major Jewish settlements outside Israel. Netanyahu rejects any pullout from east Jerusalem.Netanyahu heads to the White House on Friday and said he would seek clarifications.Behind the rhetoric, though, was the possibility of finding common ground. Obama said he would support agreed-upon territorial swaps between the Israel and the Palestinians, leaving the door open for Israel to retain major West Bank settlements, where the vast majority of its nearly 300,000 Jewish settlers live.

Netanyahu said he would urge Obama to endorse a 2004 American commitment, made by then President George W. Bush, to Israel. In a letter at the time, Bush said a full withdrawal to the 1967 lines was unrealistic and a future peace agreement would have to recognize new realities on the ground.Israelis have interpreted Bush's commitment as U.S. support for retaining the major settlement blocs. Earlier this week, Netanyahu said Israel would have to retain the blocs as part of any future peace agreement.But Netanyahu also wants to keep other parts of the West Bank, including a strategic section of land along the Jordanian border that he believes is vital to Israel's security. The Palestinians oppose any Israeli presence in their future state.Netanyahu said he would reiterate his security demands at Friday's meeting.
Netanyahu said he plans to raise other demands: Palestinian recognition of Israel as the Jewish homeland, guarantees that Palestinian refugees be resettled outside of Israel and condemnation of an emerging Palestinian government that is to include the anti-Israel Hamas militant group.With peacemaking stalled for months, the Palestinians have said they will ask the United Nations to recognize their independence in September, with or without a peace deal.In his speech, Obama rejected the U.N. push. Symbolic actions to isolate Israel at the United Nations in September won't create an independent state, Obama said.It was not immediately clear whether Obama's statement on the 1967 borders as the basis for negotiations — something the Palestinians have long sought — would be sufficient to persuade the Palestinians to drop their quest for U.N. recognition.

Former U.S. Democratic Congressman Robert Wexler, president of the S. Daniel Abraham Center for Middle East Peace in Washington, said the speech had created a moment of truth for the Israeli and Palestinian leaders.No longer in earnest can President Abbas seek a United Nations resolution and say he's serious about the creation of a Palestinian state. And likewise, Prime Minister Netanyahu must determine whether he is willing to negotiate based on the 1967 lines with agreed-upon territorial swaps, he said.

Israel rejects Obama peace plan, Palestinians cagey
by Steve Weizman – Thu May 19, 3:43 pm ET


JERUSALEM (AFP) – Israel on Thursday rejected President Barack Obama's call for a peace deal based the 1967 borders, as the Palestinians said their leadership would hold a meeting to discuss the US leader's policy speech.Obama's address, billed as an announcement of reoriented US policy in the Middle East after a slew of regional uprisings, focused heavily on the stalled talks between Israel and the Palestinians.

He called for a negotiated solution based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Six Day War, but also warned the Palestinians that a bid for UN recognition of a unilateral proclamation of statehood would not work.The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states, said Obama.The Palestinian people must have the right to govern themselves, and reach their full potential, in a sovereign and contiguous state.Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, due to fly to Washington just hours after Obama's speech, immediately called on the White House to guarantee Israel would not have to withdraw to the 1967 lines.He urged Obama to commit to the assurances laid out in 2004 by then president George W. Bush, who said new realities on the ground, meant a full and complete return to the 1967 borders was unrealistic.Prime Minister Netanyahu expects to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of US commitments made to Israel in 2004, which were overwhelmingly supported by both houses of Congress, Netanyahu's statement said.

Among other things, those commitments relate to Israel not having to withdraw to the 1967 lines, which are both indefensible and which would leave major Israeli population centres in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank) beyond those lines, it added.
Netanyahu is scheduled to meet with Obama on Friday and will address a joint session of the US Congress next week.In the West Bank, the Palestinian leadership responded cautiously, saying it would examine Obama's address before making substantive comment.President (Mahmud) Abbas decided to call the Palestinian leadership to an urgent meeting as soon as possible and consult with the Arab brothers to discuss US President Barack Obama's speech, senior Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told reporters.He said the Palestinians remained committed to all previous agreements with Israel,hoping that the Israeli government will do the same, to give the peace process the chance it deserves.The Hamas movement, which rules the Gaza Strip and this month signed a surprise unity agreement with Abbas's Fatah party, immediately called for Washington to match words with action.What Obama needs to do is not to add slogans but to take concrete steps to protect the rights of the Palestinian people and the Arab nation, Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri told AFP.Obama's speech comes as talks between Israel and the Palestinians are mired in a stalemate over the issue of Israeli settlement construction.In September 2010, Obama helped launch the first direct talks between the two sides in nearly two years, but they quickly ground to a halt when a partial Israeli settlement moratorium expired.Netanyahu refused to renew the ban, and the Palestinians have refused to negotiate while Israel builds on land they want for a future state.

As Obama's speech began, an Israeli government committee announced approval for only 1,500 new homes in a settlement neighbourhood in annexed east Jerusalem, a non-governmental group told AFP.The decision authorised construction of 620 homes in the settlement neighbourhood of Pisgat Zeev, and another 900 in a second settlement neighbourhood, Har Homa, said the Ir Amim organisation, which calls for Palestinians and Israelis to share Jerusalem.Israeli lobby group Peace Now deplored the timing and content of the interior ministry's decision.The prime minister is sacrificing relations with the US for the sake of his loyalty to settlers, it said in a statement.This is not just miserable timing but a miserable policy which endangers Israel's standing in the world.Netanyahu's decision to discuss Har Homa and Pisgat Zeev today is a clear message to the Americans about Israel's real policy which refuses to even discuss (sharing) Jerusalem, Hagit Ofran, of Peace Now's Settlement Watch unit, told AFP.

Obama wants Israel locked in a 1967 cage
Posted on May 19, 2011 by Laurie Roth


The shame, betrayal and void of leadership continues with Obama endorsing the Palestinian state with borders brought back to 1967. President Obama said in his recent Middle East and North African speech that we have to think differently regarding our dealings with the Muslims, thus Obama standing solidly for the Palestinian’s demands to have the 1967 borders observed.Fatah and Hamas, two radical Muslim terrorist organizations have now merged, turning the constant shotgun of threats against Israel into a pointed double barrel shotgun aimed at their heads. Obama and the UN might as well be loading the shells.So, what is the big deal about 1967 and why does Israel have to give the land back before that war? It is most clear and plain to see. Israel saw aggressive changes in behavior, by Egypt and Syria signaling that war was immanent. First they saw on May 16, 1967, Nasser removed the international buffer that had exsisted between Israel and Egypt since 1957, the UNEF – United Nations Emergency Forces. Then Egypt blockaded all goods coming into Israel through the Tiran Straits. Syria joined the party by creating all kinds of clashes at the border along the Golan Heights. They put their troops on ready as well.

President Johnson at the time played the political game hoping Israel would not attack and waterways and shipping could be re opened through diplomatic means. Egypt and Syria were obviously organizing and positioning for attack, pulling troops out, and stopping goods from being shipped. What was Israel supposed to do ask them if they wanted to have a Bible Study? It was against this obvious set up for war against Israel that Israel attacked. They captured the Sinai Peninsula, Gaza Strip, West Bank and Golan Heights from Syria. Everything was finished in less then a month. Nassar called for the total destruction of Israel, spewing slaughter Israel rhetoric everywhere in the Middle East and media.To the Islamic world who had attacked Israel many times before 1967, this war was just another bold shame against Islam that must be avenged. After all, Israel had stolen Islamic land. Since this war, which Israel had really no choice but to start and finish, Israel has received non stop attacks from all kinds of Islamic groups surrounding them. Now you know as the great Paul Harvey would have said,The rest of the story.

What other wars should be undone because group A doesn’t like the land group B got during a conflict? Is Texas and Southern California going back to Mexico even though we paid for it and won the war? For that matter, it was most rude and treasonous to the British to make this country the US and separate from British rule. Shall we be British subjects again? It is beyond dangerous, shameful and almost unforgivable that America would stand with Palestine, Hamas and Fatah against our best alley in the Middle East who simply wants to live in peace. It is already wrong that Israel has allowed any territories or land to be manipulated back into the hands of the Palestinians and Hamas. Now the UN vote is coming in just a few months to vote Palestine in as a state, that Obama formally backs. Israel must stand her ground and not give away so much as a simple glass of water or, not even to President Obama or any other pressure group. This choice by Obama to back Palestine and the UN push against Israel is stupid, evil, Un American, traitorous, disloyal, two faced, cowardly and WRONG.It is time to run Obama out of the White House in 2012. Maybe I will be the one to do it.

1967 Borders, Israel, Palestine, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu-Barack Arafat Obama out on the surprise trail- Judi McLeod Thursday, May 19, 2011

Elected President to retrieve the United States of America from the supposed evil jaws of George Bush and Dick Cheney as America’s historic first black president, Barack Obama works instead on tinkering with the map of the Middle East.President Barack Obama is endorsing the Palestinian’s demand for their future state to be based on the borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war, in a move that will likely infuriate Israel. Israel says the borders of a Palestinian state have to be determined through negotiations.(The Blaze, May 19, 2011).In a steal-the-limelight strategy, Obama today sided with the Palestinians’ opening position—just one day ahead of a visit to Washington by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Netanyahu, is of course, is strongly opposed to referring to the 1967 borders.Perhaps Obama can dive for cover behind the skirts of Michelle, Valerie Jarrett and Oprah when Bibi hits town tomorrow.Shock Jock Obama, really Barry Soetoro when you unravel the details, has been blazing a trail of surprises.

Siding with Palestine along with his bosom buddy, the unrepentant domestic terrorist and flotilla sailor Billy Ayers, is only Obama’s latest.Going back to the very beginning of the tawdry tale of Obama in the Oval Office, nobody got saved from Bush. In fact, life for the average only got worse under the well-touted historic first. Three weeks ago after putting the Resurrection of Jesus Christ into perspective, Obama released his Certificate of live birth after an almost three-year lapse during which time he starred in the role of the Artful Dodger. One short week after the release came the Obama Killed Osama and We Got the the 72 versions caper. At the beginning of this week came the stand-up comedian jokes about the moats and alligators.Yesterday his re-election campaign threw the full weight of an incumbent president on bestselling author Jerome Corsi of Where’s the Birth Certificate fame.

Speaking of the newly-launched, tell-all Corsi book, Julianna Smoot of BarackObama.com advised in an email: The only thing we can do is laugh at it—and make sure as many people as possible are in on the joke.Canada Free Press hasn’t conducted an official check, but here’s betting that more Where’s the Birth Certificate books are selling than Made in America,Here’s My Birth Certificate coffee mugs and T-shirts.In terms of the All-Things-Obama-Boomerang effect, Corsi’s latest book is right up there with the 72 versions in the wake of the Obama Killed Osama legend.Indeed if things continue at their normal pace, Corsi will trump Obama in birth certificate fame. It was Obama’s re-election campaign who inadvertently replaced the question Where’s the Birth Certificate? with Why would the president of the USA publicly mock the man who asked? on tacky T-shirts and mugs.Meanwhile, no one should worry about Obama’s rewriting Israel’s 1967 borders for Palestine.In 1967, Baby Obama was not long out of his red diapers.
