1. 67 lines = end of Israel
yoni ,   tel aviv   (05.17.11)
indefensable borders in 1967 the population here was about 3.5 million today we are approaching 8 million. its like the US returning California to Mexico

just like jerusalem we'll be as one.
4. Jerusalem with it's East Jerusalem Palestinians
tiki ,   belgium   (05.17.11)
"Palestinians of E-Jerusalem' used to be Jordanians. Jerusalem used to be Jewish 'before it was conquerd by the Arabs and it's Jewish inhabitants murdered, because the way of thinking of the Arabs then is the same as it is now. If THAT's the 'logic of Obama, than half of Los Angeles should be given back to the Mexicans, parts of Miami to the Cubans, New York and other US cities should be given back to the Chinese in 'their Chinese Towns, Little Italy to the Italians, New Amsterdam with Wall straat to the Dutch, the rest to the Indians, etc. etc. The world has gone completely gaga with their 'Palestinian obsession and found a 'cloth hanger to hang their Anti Semitism on.

18. #9 ALE
Devorah   (05.17.11)
You must have been a friend of Vittorio Arrigoni. Can Israel expect to see you on the next Marmara flotilla?
19. MK
Salma ,   Palestine   (05.17.11)
Agreed
20. Fad...Please take care my friend
David ,   Shiloh Israel   (05.17.11)
Fad, it's encouraging to hear such a clear voice coming from our neighbors. I hope you do well with all the unrest in Egypt, and get to see a good government. G-d willling, we will prevail with our mutual interests to see a strong & just Israel, living in genuine peace & harmony with our good friends. Shalom!
21. just like the rest of the world
gdfathermax ,   tel aviv israel   (05.17.11)
our prime minister feels he has to kotow to the arabs. he does not represent us properly. with congress on our side all he has to do is say no. no recognition of israel, no refugees no mini state. if he can,t vote for leiberman. like my namesake make him an offer he can.t refuse !!
22. jerusalem is the undivided capital of the jewish people

23. Obama is bent on the destruction of the

Jewish state... NOTHING NEW at all...in the same time he supports Iran to get the bomb...in the case, that he himself will fail...AND HE WILL...!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! >>>NOT ONE SQUARE INCH!!!!!<<<
24. Relax
Cameron ,   USA   (05.17.11)
He lays down expectations that none of the kids in the Holy Land can bear to think about, let alone agree to. The situation is as intractable & dead in the water as ever, perhaps supremely so in these times of ours. Wait for the issue to steadily build to the point of instability & warfare, and when the smoke finally clears, THEN the honest vision and work of redefining ME affairs can really begin.
25. How in the World Can Obama Demand the PA Recognize
Doug ,   Rochester, USA   (05.17.11)
Israel when both Israel and the U.S. Refuse to Recognize Palestine? And how can he genuinely "urge" Israel to return to '67 borders when his action of vetoing the recent UNSC Resolution gives Israel cover for continueing to build?
26. NO to Obama. Hasn't he screwed up 1 country enough?
(05.17.11)
27. # 23 Must be bored with his own country
(05.17.11)
28. Just Say "No"
Mark ben Josuf ,   USA   (05.17.11)
Tell Netanyahu to say, "no," publicly to Congress and tell him to use the words used by no. 16, to make it clear how Likud feels. Congress will hear loud and clear.
29. "Time for worldwide Jews to unite" behind Israel's gov't!!!
Deb S. Gold ,   Boston, MA USA   (05.17.11)
30. NObama
Albrecht Klein ,   Germany   (05.17.11)
Did "The Unborn" say anything about the demilitarization of "Palestine"? 67 borders with Iranian bases in "Palestine" is suicide for Israel.
