At the G8 summit in France this last week I believe it was assumed that all would agree to Obama's suggestion to require Israel to return to its pre 1967 borders in order to re negotiate a peace deal there. Canada alone of all nations represented managed to keep this out of the joint statement resulting from the conference. I don't know about you but this suggestion is beyond ridiculous ill advised and doomed to fail. I submitted these comments in response to a CTV's article concerning this event Harper, Netanyahu did not discuss 1967 borders: PMO - CTV News Not sure if they will be published in the comment section or not as many are very negative against Israel.
For the most part the west has its head in the sand concerning what will truly bring peace in the Middle East. The pre-1967 borders are indefensible that is obvious. The idea of a demilitarized Palestinian state is a pipe dream although not as vocal as Hamas most there hate Israel, teach hate to their children and desire to see it eliminated as well. Demilitarized??? It will NEVER happen and as far as Gaza goes they only want to see Israel wiped out and make no bones about it. Why do we always demonize the Jewish people, look at a map and see what a tiny speck of land it is. It is the only democratic state in a sea of dictatorship. Israel has taken in refugees and is trying building a wonderful country that although most do not realize this includes naturalized Palestinians. So why do we bow to the dictates of the huge bloc of the Arab nations surrounding it calling for greater and greater sanctions. It was they who initiated an unprovoked attack in 1967. They gambled the land and lost it. They also later attacked in 1973. The war began when the coalition launched a joint surprise attack on Israel on Yom Kippur, the holiest day in Judaism. They have continue with unprovoked intifada attacks requiring extraordinary security measures to be put in place by Israel that limits their carnage. So in a sense they are losing that one too. Now they are whining to the international community. If this kind aggression happened between two children on the playground guess who would be suspended. I say get over it. And get on with helping your own people develop and grow and quit blaming Israel.
