On Israel Being Tossed Under the Bus

Hmm. No time to do much on this, as my "bus" is due out any minute.

But, what of President Obama's calling on a return to pre-1967 lines between Israel and the Palestinian Authority?

And, what of the rapid response from so many in America, many legislators and leaders condemning Obama's stand?

Could Obama be persuaded he is wrong? Doubt it. Once a person takes a position, he often sticks stubbornly to it.

Obama argues self-determination, which is to say if those in the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza Strip want to be with the P.A., let them. But, many Israelis are behind those lines. What of their self determination?

And, what of the war environment? In any war, you attempt to take strategic points. They become essential. Those lands are vital to Israel's defense, as is being pointed out by everyone from Israel's P.M. Benjamin Netanyahu to Utah's Sen. Mike Lee.
