Everyone knows that the 1967 borders do not exist: that phrase is used – incorrectly – to refer to the ceasefire lines that resulted after the 1948 War for Independence.

Thus, the correct phrase is “1949 armstice lines” or “1949 ceasefire lines.”

The word “borders” implies that there were legally binding negotiations between Israel and the surrounding Ishmaelite nations. Of course, this never happened b/c none of the surrounding Ishmaelite nations (Jordan, Egypt, Syria) would recognize Israel’s right to exist.

1. Everyone knows that the 1967 borders do not exist: that phrase is used – incorrectly – to the ceasefire lines that resulted after the 1949 War for Independence.

2. Israel is not that important to most American Jews, with the exception of the Orthodox and Russian communities.

3. Is there any reason why Morris could not interview a Jew in three minutes? I think it’s plenty of time.

4. The land of Israel belongs exclusively and entirely to the people of Israel. There has never been a country called “Palestine,” and so there is no legal or historical precedent for establishing such a state today – especially when doing so would involve amputating Israel and taking away Judea and Samaria (what this person erroneously refers to as the “West Bank”).

5. Obama’s position does represent a shift in US policy. Even LBJ, who was President during the 6-Day War, said that Israel should not have to return to the so-called ’67 borders because they were indefensible.

In the future, I ask YWN not to publish pro-Obama pieces by leftist.
