President Obama Supports 1967 Borders For Israel

I don't even know the words to express how furious I am over this proclamation.  In April I posted an article about the myth of the 1967 borders (rightwinggranny.com).

In that article, I explained:

"... There is no 1967 border--there is only an armistice line created after all of Israel's neighbors invaded her as soon as she became a nation.  The 1949 armistice line was never internationally recognized as a border."

This is a map of the land given to Israel after half of it was given to Transjordan to establish a state for the Hashemites (who had just been driven out of Mecca and Medina by the Wahabi Muslims).  The Hashemites had been custodians of Mecca and Medina for centuries:

 

All of the land that is white or dark orange in the above map had originally been given to Israel in the Balfour Declaration in 1917 and agreed to by the Arabs involved.  In 1921, the Arab representative responsible for the above division of the land, Emir Feisal, agreed to abandon all claim of his father to Western Palelstine if he secured Iraq and Eastern Palestine as Arab terrorities.  These are the borders set up for the nation of Israel.  The 1949 borders were simply an armistice signed after all of Israel's neighbors invaded her after she became a nation.

I have a question.  How come Israel has to give back her land that she reclaimed in 1967 and the Arabs are supposed to be given the land they stole from Israel in 1949?

President Obama is on the wrong side of history on this and the wrong side of morality.  Giving the Arabs more land is not going to stop the violence in the Middle East--it is going to increase it.
