Reply To: Bush vs. Obama on Israel

“nowhere does he suggest anything about going to 1967 borders and says Isreal and the Palestinians should work it out”

Bush’s Road Map said:

That Abdullah initiative was 1967 borders in return for peace. You can’t get much more categorical than that.

‘I understand that Bush declared that Israel will not give major territorial concessions before Palestinians agree to resolve the refugee issue and recognize Israel right as a Jewish state.’

Your understanding is incorrect. The Road Map did not include the word “Jewish” and the only occurrence of the word “recognition” was for a Palestinian State:

It also specifically metioned refugees as an issue to be decided through negotiations.
