That is why he tried to downplay the significance of the Congress-endorsed Bush letter to Sharon.David Singer -https://www.blogger.com/profile/18281274914728257734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-66551870220358924842016-03-07T11:19:02.869+11:002016-03-07T11:19:02.869+11:00"mutually agreed swaps" requires Israel ..."mutually agreed swaps" requires Israel to cede some of her territory to the palestinians.

What's the essential difference between what Bush wrote:<br /><br />"...it is unrealistic to expect that the outcome of final status negotiations will be a full and complete return to the armistice lines of 1949...It is realistic to expect that any final status agreement will only be achieved on the basis of mutually agreed changes..."<br /><br />and what Obama said:<br /><br />"The borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states."?<br /><br />Basis for negotiation: "armistice lines of 1949" = "1967 lines"<br />Alterations: "mutually agreed changes" = "mutually agreed swaps"<br /><br />Thanks<br /><br /><br /><br />borhanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12498562348810596899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-14770365531612218032016-03-07T04:31:24.625+11:002016-03-07T04:31:24.625+11:00No, certainly not an adequate reason.

Speaking from New York (i.e., he would be my President if elected), I believe Trump is not qualified either in temperament or in basic knowledge of the world to be President. In fact, his immigrant-baiting language is ominous, and past world leaders who have gained support in this manner have generally not been good to the Jews and others of the "wrong" type.borhanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12498562348810596899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-971541537715440752.post-17331242585247805892016-03-06T21:35:25.898+11:002016-03-06T21:35:25.898+11:00Caroline Glick certainly distrusts Hillary:
