A23,
let’s dissect your comment
First, Obama is absolutely not responsible for what happened in Egypt, it was the people who rose up to get rid of Mubarak. Whether or not his fall will hurt Israel is unknown at this time.
you see how differently Obama has acted in response to Egypt then let’s say Iran’s uprising, at the time nothing was done yet with Egypt and Libya the guy wanted to take center stage Bush for sure wouldn’t be like that
Libya, Bahrain, Syria and all the other countries where the President may have a little more to do with the situation do not affect Eretz Yisrael. In fact, if they’re busy fighting amongst themselves, they won’t be preoccupied with Israel.
and when all is said and done when these countries become all the more radical they will all turn on Israel, and how can you say the situation in Syria will not affect Israel.
Second, it was George W. Bush who promulgated the ‘Road Map’ which used the 1967 borders. Obama has never said or done one thing that weakens Israel more than Bush did. Anyone who thought that Bush was good for Israel must agree that Obama is similarly good.
I’ve answered Charliehall’s similar comment, and I can’t find the link anymore (my guess is that it was deleted idk why)
anyway the difference is that Obama set it up as a precondition for starting talks, yet Bush did not which totally changes the playing field entirely
google road map speech and compare to Obama’s Middle east speech
