Obama’s inane proposal that Israel move back to pre-1967 borders in exchange for a Palestinian state and peace is an exercise in wishful thinking and deliberate ignorance. In all of the Arab-Israeli wars from 1948 to 1973, Israel has never been the aggressor. On contrary, the Arab nations kept beating the war drums, promising to wipe out Israel and drench its soil with blood. When the Arab nations failed miserably in their boasts to do as they promised, they made use of the Arabs living in Palestine as proxies in their continuing war against Israel. One sure thing that Obama is intentionally ignoring is that none of the Arab nations aside from Egypt and Jordan have signed a peace treaty with Israel, neither have they rescinded their vows to wipe out Israel. Does he really think that the presence of a Palestinian state will put an end to the travails in the Middle East?
If the US was placed in the current situation of Israel, would she condone the creation of a hostile state right at her very doorstep? A state that is headed by people vowing to eliminate her existence? There has never been a Palestinian state in the past, nor should there should be one. For if there will be one such state, it is nothing but an artificial construct, a proxy, a sacrificial puppet for those in power in the Arab world to manipulate in pursuit of their ultimate goal of eradicating the democratic state of Israel.
