Republicans bash Obama over declaration ... JPost - International
WASHINGTON – A slew of Republicans and even several Democrats took issue Friday with US President Barack Obama’s declaration that an Israeli-Palestinian peace should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed land swaps.
“There is strong disapproval in Congress for the president’s new posture toward Israel, and I will introduce a resolution next week affirming Israel’s right to maintain its territorial integrity,” said Utah Republican Sen. Orrin Hatch.

“Rather than stand by Israel against consistent unprovoked aggression by longtime supporters of terrorism, President Obama is rewarding those who threaten Israel’s very right to exist.”

“The 1967 armistice lines were simply not defensible, and Israel must not be made to return to them,” said New York Rep. Eliot Engel.

Keep in mind that the 1967 armistice lines were also 9 miles wide, which is unheard of and unrealistic to protect from.

I would say that is a fair statement.

This topic is still a fuck up on his part.

Something is going to have to give in that area. Its disheartening to know they are all Abrahamic religions, you would think that alone could unify them to more aggressively work for peace. The shit that goes on by both sides is horrible.

Religions in general to me seem to cause more harm than good. I don't see this ever being peacfully resolved.
