Obama's Israel Policy Makes U.S. Look Foolish

ok we cant blame Our Pres. you see Isreal has the US in her back pocket. the US is stuck at the mercy of Isreal. The world sees the US as a bully, and that we are the most powerful. but power dosnt always mean military. Isreal may be very tiny and never taken, but is the BULLY for the US, Isreal knows all of the US secrets, Pearl Harbor, JFK, 9/11, hell isreal was behind most of them. Our congress and government are not what rule this contry people! stop watching tv all the time. The leaders of the US is Isreal. they say jump and america says how high. Obama has openly addmited that his Foriegn Policy is due to fact that he fears being Assasinated by Isreal.

USA will be brought to its knees if they go against Israel. I would suggest the US people return their land to the Indians and go back to England. They have no rights to talk about Israel until they return the Indian lands. That land was given to Israel by God Himself and no jokers have the right to speak about it.

Thank you, Harold of NV!

I had the exact same information (primary documentation, just as you used). I was all set to type it out when I saw your comment. This is what puzzles me; why is it "a complete failure" for President Obama to say this to Israel, and completely acceptable for previous leaders to have said the same thing?

It is completely disconcerting to read so many misleading perspectives about the news and such a lack of knowledge of the history of the United States. As the old saying cautions: "Those who do not study history, are doomed to repeat history."

What worries me now is those who do not study history, doom ME to repeat history with them!

I wonder if history should be taught with civics classes as it used to be taught? At least students were educated in recognizing just what qualities a responsible American citizen should acquire. Hate-mongering and lobbing insults, is not one of them.

It would be great if we could actually give our perspective of how we see history unfolding before us, and where we get our information. Anyone in the U.S. is free to lie, so it is of paramount importance that we strive hard to research for primary information, just as you have done! After we have learned the actual truth, maybe we could then discuss how these truthful accounts of Obama's actions would affect us. Maybe we could actually find that all sides are seeking the same things: health, security in our home and in our jobs, respect for one another, and freedom granted by the Bill of Rights.

Previous administrations did not endorse the 1948 boundaries as evidenced by these quotes:

“It is clear, however, that a return to the situation of 4 June 1967 will not bring peace. There must be secure and there must be recognized borders.”

— President Lyndon Johnson, September 1968

“In the pre-1967 borders, Israel was barely ten miles wide at its narrowest point. The bulk of Israel’s population lived within artillery range of hostile armies. I am not about to ask Israel to live that way again.”

— President Ronald Reagan, September 1, 1982

“Israel will never negotiate from or return to the 1967 borders.”

— Secretary of State George Shultz, September 1988

“I think there can be no genuine resolution to the conflict without a sovereign, viable, Palestinian state that accommodates Israeli's security requirements and the demographic realities. That suggests Palestinian sovereignty over Gaza, the vast majority of the West Bank, the incorporation into Israel of settlement blocks … To make the agreement durable, I think there will have to be some territorial swaps and other arrangements.”

— President Bill Clinton, January 7, 2001

“Ultimately, Israelis and Palestinians must address the core issues that divide them if there is to be a real peace, resolving all claims and ending the conflict between them. This means that the Israeli occupation that began in 1967 will be ended through a settlement negotiated between the parties, based on UN resolutions 242 and 338, with Israeli withdrawal to secure and recognize borders.”

— President George W. Bush, June 24, 2002

“In light of new realities on the ground, including already existing major Israeli population centers, it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949, and all previous efforts to negotiate a two-state solution have reached the same conclusion. It is realistic to expect that any final status agreement will only be achieved on the basis of mutually agreed changes that reflect these realities.”

— Bush, letter to Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, April 14, 2004
