Netanyahu tells Congress no return to 1967 borders

I'm shocked that President Obama has suggested a return to the 1967 borders. Canada's Prime Minister Stephen Harper seems to be the only leader with any balls in this discussion. The Israelis returned to their homeland in 1948. Palestine wasn't even a recognized state until the 20th century. Israel was happy to share their country with their Pali brethren until their suicide bombers and terrorist attacks necessitated the building of a wall. Irael made the most of their patch of land, unlike their neighbors who never did stop bitching, clear away the rubble and get on with it. People seem to forget ever single time this topic comes up that the Palestinians refuse to acknowledge Israel as a state and are fond of saying they won't rest until Israeli's are wiped off the face of the earth. And yet time and time again I read sympathetic articles about the poor Palestinians (who have broken each and every peace accord, every single one) while the Israelis are vilified for defending themselves and daring to want to exist. I see it in the BBC, the Guardian, CBC (I'm ashamed to say) and it is wrong, wrong, wrong. Why don't you speak up for Israel? Just because they're not constantly whining to the world press on one hand, while firing rocket launchers over the border and decimating Israeli schools, and kidnapping an 18 year old soldier who will never been seen alive again? What happened to the trade - their political prisoners released for the young soldier? They got their prisoners, no soldier. Are people so feckless and media-driven that they either don't remember or don't care? Why doesn't somebody ask that British journalist who was held prisoner for so long in Palestine what he thinks of the people whose bleeding heart cause he championed so earnestly. I'll bet he would have much rather spent that time in Israel than living in fear that he would be beheaded on camera at any given moment. Does anyone else feel this way?

I like to remind everyone that the United Nations established Israel's borders in 1948. That is the real border for Israel. The so called 1967 border represents occupied territory which is against international law.

Many people say that, "life is like a social science and not mathematics. " That is, "is more prudent to accept the fact that it is bitter at first, but still provide opportunities for young people to build themselves a whole, rather than continue to fight the current but the future will find no meaning. "
