But he said it is a challenge for the U.S. to keep demanding that the Palestinians negotiate in good faith if no one believes the Israelis are doing the same.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Israelis have not been the ones launching rockets at civilian targets or building terrorists tunnels with money given to them to help their people. Why does the President want to create another terrorist state?<\/p>\n<p>In May of 2011, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2011\/05\/20\/world\/middleeast\/20speech.html?_r=0\" target=\"_blank\">New York Times<\/a> reported:<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\"><strong>A day before the arrival in Washington of Prime Minister <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Benjamin Netanyahu\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Benjamin_Netanyahu\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Benjamin Netanyahu<\/a> of <a class=\"meta-loc\" title=\"More news and information about Israel.\" href=\"http:\/\/topics.nytimes.com\/top\/news\/international\/countriesandterritories\/israel\/index.html?inline=nyt-geo\">Israel<\/a>, Mr. Obama declared that the prevailing borders before the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Six-Day War\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Six-Day_War\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">1967 Arab-Israeli war<\/a> \u2014 adjusted to some degree to account for Israeli settlements in the West Bank \u2014 should be the basis of a deal. While the 1967 borders have long been viewed as the foundation for a peace agreement, Mr. Obama\u2019s formula of land swaps to compensate for disputed territory created a new benchmark for a diplomatic solution.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>President Obama, you need a history lesson.\u00a0 There is no 1967 border&#8211;there is only an armistice line created after all of Israel&#8217;s neighbors invaded her as soon as she became a nation.\u00a0 The 1949 armistice line was never internationally recognized as a border.\u00a0 I have posted this before, but it bears repeating. This is the map of the land given to Israel in the original British Mandate:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rightwinggranny.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/mandate2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"353\" height=\"582\" border=\"0\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Palestine was the name given to Israel at that time.\u00a0 Transjordan was originally to be given to the Jewish state, but Britain reneged on its promise and gave the land to the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Arab people\" href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Arab_people\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"wikipedia\">Arabs<\/a> instead.\u00a0 In 1921, the Arab representative responsible for the above division of the land, <span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #ff0000;\">Emir Feisal, agreed to abandon all claim of his father to Western Palelstine if he secured Iraq and Eastern Palestine as Arab terrorities.<\/span>\u00a0 We saw how well he kept this agreement. These are the borders set up for the nation of Israel.\u00a0 The 1949 borders were simply an armistice.<\/p>\n<p>After the nation of Israel was declared, the Arabs invaded and took control of the <a class=\"zem_slink\" title=\"Old City of Jerusalem and its Walls\" href=\"http:\/\/whc.unesco.org\/en\/list\/148\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"unesco\">Old City of Jerusalem<\/a>. During the time the Arabs controlled the Old City, Jews were barred from their holiest sites.
