“Once again, President Obama has proven that he is not a friend of Israel. His outrageous remarks today calling for a two-state solution and the establishment of a Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders indicate a blatant disregard of Israeli history and of the constant threat of terror and violence Israel faces from all sides. In fact, President Obama is of the same mindset as Hamas who have also called for a return to the 1967 borders.
Mr. Obama does not live in a world of reality as is evidenced by his attempts to befriend Iran, Syria and other nations who seek to destroy both the United States and Israel. In trying to force Israel to return to the 1967 borders, Mr. Obama has effectively condemned the State of Israel to a slow and painful death. We cannot and will not allow that to happen. President Obama’s comments have only reaffirmed that he still does not get it and never will.”
I would like to see Netanyahu cancel his Obama meeting.
Much cheaper if he just croses the border & talks to Abbas, same results.
better let him come talk to congress and snub the president
Four more years? Somehow, I don’t think so.
How do all you fellow Yidden feel now that the messiah has officially thrown Israel under the bus? You all had better run and donate to his next campaign fund for reelection.
The only purpose you all have is a liberal agenda, which is good for all the self hating Jews!
Thanks to all you liberal out there who support this rasha in the whitehouse.
It is high time for Jewish voters to realize that most democrat politicians are not sincere about their commitment to the State of Israel and the survival of the Jewish people. On the other hand, most politicians on the republican or conservative side get it ,and are concerned about our future. It is shame that 78% of the Jewish voters voted for Obama.
President Obama is the president of the US, not Israel. The assemblyman’s presumption that everything the US president does must be in sync with another country outrageous and unrealistic.
Where are all the liberal Jewish Obama lovers. Do you already regret your vote for this Arab lover or are still so stupid and will vote for these guy again. Shame on you. VOTE REPUBLICAN.
Bush said the same thing. Where was Hikind then?
It is no different in any respect then the peace plans supported by Bush , his father, or Reagan.
Hamas does not “call for return to 1967 borders” as the final settlement. They call for it as “okay for now” and are very clear that they will never recognize Israel’s right to exist in any form, thank you. The president was talking about that as the final settlement. There is a difference. Also, I don’t see this as so revolutionary. He is not the first president to talk along these lines. Is this that different from President Bush’s “Road Map” ? Do you expect a US president to be a Likudnik?
Dov !!!!! thanks
I hope Obama has the same fate as Carter or worse.
I don’t understand why he killed Osama
this is great news for satmar chsidim, they will be able to go to the kotel since it is out of the zionist hands
we are all waiting for משיח to come and not obama will or someone else will take us back there and hikind should better be silent he is just making a חילול השם every time when it comes to the middle east issue the antisematisim is big enough he is jusy adding oil to the fire
I fully support President Obama’s speech, Dov is his usual self, the president never said that the pre 67 borders are static; he used a caveat that land should be negotiated. Which was always the understanding from every Israeli government, Dov is from the mindset that not an inch. Well that is not in the interest of Israel nr the US; only the rightwing loonies champion that idiotic view.
In 1967 the UN adopted a resolution saying Israel must withdraw from territories captured in the Six Day War. There was a whole tumult as to the language. Should it say “all the territories”, “some of the territories”, or the vague language “territories”.
The US opposed the language “all the territories”, which was good for Israel. However, the language “territories” has now come to mean all the territories. Had the US only insisted back then that the language read “some of the territories” (which were to be decided during negotiations), we would be in better shape now. How anybody could have allowed the meaningless language “territories’, is beyond me.
As far as the plans of Bush go, supposedly he gave a letter to Sharon saying that Israel has a right to hold on to some of the 1967 land.
At any rate, even now, the thing to do is to make land swaps, and give over all the Arab towns, in return for Jerusalem and the settlements. The Arabs will never agree, since they do not want to lose their citizenship and all the things like health care and education that go along with it. They also know that a PA state will be backward like all Arab countries. The plan will anyway fail.
Barak said “Israeli settlement activity continues. Palestinians have walked away from talks,”. in Obama’s view, Palestinians walked away as a result of Israel’s settlement activity, and the Palestinian walkaway is therefore justified.
What an idiot
thank you dov hikind. enough children, brothers, sisters, fathers and mothers died for the rest of the country to just hand it over to the enemy. the arabs have more than enough land of their own. obama stay in the us affairs…give back land to the indians, and to the british..give florida as a gift to the cubans, open the borders to the mexicans…..
Hikind as usual is nuts. He makes it sound as if the whole world is against Obama’s position …..yet Obama is fully pro-zionist. Just. 98% which isn’t good enough for 100%orNothing Hikind. Go ask Hamas if Obama supports them. But at least Obama will see that 98% support for the Zionist agenda just isn’t good enough!!!
Brothers, don’t get exited, just tell him one nice word “NO”
