Netanyahu Urges U.S. Return To 1845 Borders

Too funny. Via Big Peace:

Aboard Air Force Aleph (Reuters) – Speaking to reporters accompanying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his long flight to the United States tonight, Netanyahu spoke of the injustice and hardship Mexicans have endured since American forces annexed Texas in 1845. “Tens of thousands of ordinary Mexicans were driven out of their homes – the only homes they had known for centuries – and forced to live in poverty and squalor south of the border imposed by American aggression,” Netanyahu said. “The Israeli and Mexican people agree on this: This festering wound will never heal until America takes bold steps to return to the internationally accepted lines of 1845. Clearly the settlement activity that’s taken place in occupied Mexico since then is illegal. When I meet the President tomorrow I will tell him to halt all building activity in Texas immediately. Two lands for two peoples, yes, but not on land taken by force from Mexico,” the Prime Minister said.

Obama Trying His Damndest to Start WW3

Okay. Here’s what you need to understand about what Obama just did. He said that there needs to be a Palestinian State based upon the pre-1967 borders. This isn’t just throwing Israel under the bus, this is throwing Israel into the woodchipper. This is like saying that the U.S. needs to return to the 1802 borders. Wait . . . no one give him any ideas about that. I’m sure Obama would be tickled to death with that.

The western border of the U.S. in 1802 was Mississippi.

  The difference is that US is not encroaching on the Mexican Land and not killing innocent people for the name of defending ourself, like Israel is doing in Gaza, and the rest of occupied lands in Palestine! One should ask him, if the US agrees to go back to the 1845 border’s agreement, will the occupied force of Israel and the Israelis who built on Palestinians’ homeland, will leave for ever and agree the old border agreement to prior the 1967?

    Actually, the difference is that Israel existed long ago:
    
    This territory was inhabited by the Canaanites, then the Israelites, and then it became part of the Babylonian, Persian, Greek and Roman Empires with periods of independence or autonomy for the Jews. When the Roman Empire split, the region was ruled by the Eastern Roman Empire, also called the Byzantine Empire. After that, it was a specific region demarcated by its people, and it was ruled by the Sassanians, Omayyads, Crusaders and Mamelukes, and then by the Ottoman Empire from 1517 to 1922.
    British Mandate of Palestine
    
    Jews have been permanent residents of this region for over 3700 years, while there has never been a nation by the name of Palestine.
    Looking at the history, I believe what is at issue and a major problem is the occupation of Jewish land by Arabs. Arabs that have been attacking Israel relentlessly for over sixty years.
    As for the U.S.-Mexico issue, the U.S. is being attacked daily by Mexicans, just like Israel is by the Arabs.
