Yesterday, President Barack Obama addressed the General Assembly of the United Nations and called for the creation of a “viable, independent Palestinian state with contiguous territory that ends the occupation that began in 1967.”  There is so much wrong with this statement and so much danger encapsulated in it.  Aaron Klein (WorldNetDaily) provides key analysis of the speech in this piece.

Particularly alarming is this paragraph from Klein’s article:

Obama’s reference yesterday to “occupation that began in 1967” comes after a top PA official, speaking on condition his name be withheld, told WND earlier this week the Obama administration largely has adopted the positions of the [Palestinian Authority] to create a Palestinian state within two years based on the 1967 borders, meaning Israel would retreat from most of the West Bank and eastern sections of Jerusalem.

That could include the Temple Mount, but even if it does not – the term “contiguous” implies the creation of a large, solid block of territory that will not be easy to traverse by Israel in times of emergency.   It would occupy the center of what is now Israel.

President Obama has chosen to stand with the Palestinians, I think most Americans will choose to stand with Israel.  I know that I will.

President Obama’s Mideast trip has been hailed as a “new beginning.” Indeed it is. Obama very pointedly did not visit Jerusalem on this his first trip to the region.

Liberal Democrat Harry Truman dared to recognize Israel in 1948 – minutes after the struggling Jewish state was born – and minutes before Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and the rest of the Arab world tried to strangle the infant in its crib. Republican Richard Nixon – despised by the liberal media – saved Israel’s life by re-supplying her with arms during the Yom Kippur War in 1973.
