Hamas: Obama speech a complete failure
YNET NEWS ^ | 05/19/2011

________________________ ______________________

The Hamas movement called US President Barack Obama's Mideast policy speech a "complete failure," saying it was like "throwing sand in the eyes of the public."

Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri claimed the speech lacked content, adding that his organization "is opposed to intervention in our internal affairs." Abu Zuhri urged the Palestinian Authority to dismiss the speech, and emphasized the need to "coordinate the stances of Palestinian forces against the American arrogance." (Elior Levy)

________________________ ________________________ ____________

JERUSALEM - Israel's prime minister has rejected a key aspect of President Barack Obama's policy speech, saying that a return to his country's 1967 borders would spell disaster for the Jewish state.

In a statement released late Thursday, Benjamin Netanyahu called the 1967 lines "indefensible."

Jewish Donors Outraged by 'Sociopath' Obama, Says Columnist
israel national news ^ | 5/18/11 | Gil Ronen

________________________ ________________________ __________

If senior journalist David Goldman is right, the correct word for describing the way a growing number of US Jews feel about President Barack Obama is not 'anger' but 'rage' – white-hot rage, at that, and a conviction that they have been swindled.

Goldman, Senior Editor of First Things magazine and 'Spengler' columnist for Asia Times Online, spoke last week at a convention on intellectuals and terror at Ariel University in Samaria. In his lecture, he quoted a top Jewish campaign donor who used the word 'sociopath' to describe Obama. In an interview with Israel National News, he predicted a possibly dramatic 'train wreck' for the Democrats in the November mid-term elections, with Jewish fundraising for Democrats drying up and a possibly high turnout of anti-Obama evangelical Christians.

INN: The recent McLaughlin group poll shows US Jewish support of Obama at about half its level in the 2008 election. Is this an accurate reflection of the mood among US Jews?

He really fucked himself on this one... he's basically unelectable now.

This is no different than if he gave a speech telling Mexico it has a right to reclaim California and Texas.

What a disgusting pofs. Seriously - he backs these muslim animals as if they ever did a damn thing for us.

Unreal.

Is this true?

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama on Thursday made official a long-held but rarely stated U.S. policy that a future Palestinian state should be based on borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war.

Washington (CNN) -- President Barack Obama on Thursday made official the long-held but rarely stated U.S. support for a future Palestinian state based on borders that existed before the 1967 Middle East war.

In the past, the United States has unofficially backed a two-state solution to the Israel-Palestinian conflict based on the borders in place prior to the war 44 years ago in which Israel seized the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Golan Heights and Sinai Peninsula.

In a major speech Thursday, Obama became the first president to formally endorse the policy, but he also acknowledged the need for modifications through the negotiating process due to conditions on the ground.

If it is true the policy is horse shit, but I guess it's easy to give away someone elses territory earned through 3 wars. Putting the boarders back to 1967 wouldn't stop the attacks, it would probably increase them. One problem with the whole thing is that Israel isn't going to give up the land.

OzmO · « **Reply #66 on:** May 19, 2011, 04:11:21 PM »

Well it looks like he's just being straight forward about it. It may or may not be the best political move. But if that's our long standing policy..... We always say fuck em if they don't like it. Wait that's with repubs, dems are supposed to be squishy.

Honestly, I am not really sure what to think about this. I would, Blacken, like to see something more than just CNN saying it.

Yeah I don't see them doing that... And you wonder what the goal is by Obama's statements. Garner more Muslim support? I donno

Good question, last time I checked there is not a very large Muslim population in the US. No idea what his end game is with this one.

I actually support Barack Obama and Israel's return to the 1967 borders.

Israel should indeed move back into the Sinai peninsula (all the way to the Suez Canal).

It's par the course for him. He knows he has no credibility in this matter anymore so he's just sucking Muslim dick like he's done since taking office.

Even if it is, you can't just say it and come of as if you are commanding Israel to do so. This is fucking diplomacy 101. Now Israel will have to tell Obama to go fuck himself to not seem like they are doing his bidding. By pounding his chest, pandering to the Arab Street and trying to be some world hero he has, in essence, taken that bargainning chip off the table.

What if the return to the 1967 borders was something the Israeli's were willing to work with? That they publically said 'HELL NO' but in private (as nations often do with sensetive things of this nature) were willing to bend? Now they can't do anything but completely rebuff Obama because they risk the chance of them seeming weak and not in charge and bending to pressure from the U.S.

This is simple shit.
