When Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visits the White House tomorrow, President Barack Obama will tell him that his country could face a bleak future -- one of international isolation and demographic disaster -- if he refuses to endorse a U.S.-drafted framework agreement for peace with the Palestinians. Obama will warn Netanyahu that time is running out for Israel as a Jewish-majority democracy. And the president will make the case that Netanyahu, alone among Israelis, has the strength and political credibility to lead his people away from the precipice.

1967 borders is a non starter to begin with, and shows Obama is either not serious, or completely incompetent.
Also why is Obama bothering with this with the Ukraine crisis at his doorstep?
fliceBecause the American administration cant do anything considering all the meddeling bs it pulled off in the entire middleeast the last ten years. It has been pretty much the same thing as Putin is doing now, the only difference is that its on the other side of the fence.

I'm sorry, remind me where the US annexed part of another country in the name of "protecting Americans living there". I did not realize we now had new states in the Middle East, what are the names of their Senators?edit on 3-3-2014 by OccamsRazor04 because: (no reason given)

Netanyahu is going to listen to Obama with as much attention as Putin is giving him. This administration is all talk and no action on the world stage. What actions they do partake in though they never talk about and deny, until it's leaked.
The situation in Israel will remain the same for the next few years, unless the palestinians come to the peace talks table acting like adults rather than petulant children.

Putin is establishing a naval presence in Venezuela and Cuba. He already has a major naval base in Syria. He wants to control Middle Eastern oil, and by making Iran and Saudi Arabia dependent on him, he might be able to do it.
Obama has systematically dismantled Western and U.S. defenses, stabbed allies like Egypt’s Mubarak in the back, invaded Libya without a shred of justification, and backed murderous reactionary gangsters in Syria, Libya, Iran, and Egypt. Our president betrayed U.S. personnel in Benghazi, and purged our top military leaders. Soon he will turn over Iraq to Iran, and Afghanistan to the Taliban. When, through our bottomless folly, Iran gets the bomb, it will control both sides of the Persian Gulf, and run the Middle East through Turkey, Syria, and Lebanon
The reference to this claim is the “Küçük Kaynarca” (Karlowitz I) signed 230 years ago. As per this agreement, signed by the Russian Tsarina Catherine II on April 19, 1783, the Crimean Peninsula was taken away from the dominion of the Ottomans and handed over to Russia. However, one of the most important provisions of this treaty was the debarment of independence for the Peninsula and outlawing its submission to a third party: Should any such attempt be made, then Crimea would automatically have to be returned to the sovereignty of Turkey.
When Ukraine appeared as an independent nation following the disintegration of the USSR in 1991, Turkey acquired the right to claim the Peninsula back based on the Treaty of Küçük Kaynarca; however, this was not brought up by the Turgut Ozal administration of the time. Turkey was content with advocating for the rights of the Tatar minority living on the Crimean Peninsula.
