To suggest, as Obama does, that a return to the pre-1967 borders for Israel will somehow have everyone standing around singing Kumbaya, is not only laughable, but could only be considered anti-Jewish. Bear in mind that what are called the “1967 borders” were never agreed-upon national boundaries.
[...] "Remember that before the Six Day War, those lines in the West Bank only demarcated where five Arab armies were halted in their invasion of the nascent state of Israel 19 years earlier. Legally, they formed only an armistice line, not a recognized international border. No Palestinian state ever existed that could have claimed these prewar lines. Jordan occupied the West Bank after the Arab invasion, but its claim to sovereignty was not recognized by any U.N. members except Pakistan and the U.K. As Jordan's U.N. ambassador said before the war, the old armistice lines "did not fix boundaries." Thus the central thrust of Arab-Israeli diplomacy for more than 40 years was that Israel must negotiate an agreed border with its Arab neighbors." Dore Gold from WSJ
Israel’s Pre-1967 War Borders: What They Mean – The Reality
Barack Obama said the way to peace between Israel and Palestine is for Israel to move their borders back to the pre-1967 Six Day War lines. Such a dishonest stance for any person, world leader or not, is astonishing, unless you support the demise of Israel. Here is a simple, truthful and easily understood reminder of those borders – usually, and conveniently ignored by those who accuse Israel of “occupying” Palestinian territory. read Maggie's complete summation
