Netanyahu urges US return to 1845 borders
Received by email: Netanyahu Urges U.S. Return to 1845 BordersHeh.
Israeli PM calls for “just solution” to end the conflict.
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 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.
Asked if his hard-line stance could hurt the U.S.-Israel relationship, Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s commitment to America’s security and the unshakeable friendship shared by the two countries, then added, “But who was it who said, part of friendship is being able to tell your friend the truth. The ball is now in Obama’s court.”

Two thumbs up for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu! However, he did forget the taking of California and buying of the southern strip of land along the New Mexico, Arizona boarders with Mexico just so we could build a railroad. And, we didn't pay Mexico anything close to that that land was actually worth. That also goes for technically stealing Alaska from Russia and the Louisiana Purchase territory from France.
We should be required to (1) give all of that territory back to the original conquering nations for a refund, or (2) pay them what the land is currently valued at. Of course, we also took over the Hawaii islands by the threat of force (by occupation and building settlements). All of this, not to mention the land we took by force from the original settlers of North America, the Indians. So, we really should go back to the boarders of the 1400's, and relinquish all rights to the entire region known as the Western Continents and all adjacent islands.
Further, all residences of the Western continents (North and South) must return to the lands of their forefathers (the required right of return).
Hey! At least we could set a good example of following our own advice. Ah, but that would never work. If we held to that principle then we would have to redivide up the entire Middle East between the Greeks,Romans, the Persians, the Egyptians, etc. and return what is called Palestine back to the Canaanites. /sigh/ It does get troublesome, doesn't?
Wow, how dumb can you be. Aside from the fact that 1967 is fairly recent history, even 1948 occurs within 20th century guidelines which make Israel's behavior illegal. That and they illegally occupied and NEVER ANEXED the WB. The settlements were intended to undermine the peace process always. Anybody who disagrees is a morn and most likely a god-fearing Evangical Christian pretending to be Jewish. You know, like AIPAC does!!
Yeah, Bibi is right. Why should there always be different (worse) rules for Israelis?
They (the libs in the USA) want to pull a "kosovo" on the jews. It worked in Serbia, so why not in the middle-East?
Yep. That is the difference between a real statesman; Netanyahu, and a junior senator with a huge ego and no experience in foreign policy or negotiation; Obama.
Netanyahu is such a mentsch. He defended my nation, Israel, just like the warrior king himself...
Thank you, Bibi for doing the hard work, and for taking the time to gain solid wisdom in the real issues. The difference is extraordinary.
why dont we let the indians have this land back before all you your-a-pee-ons finsh destroying it, after all none of you are here legally. your distinguished ancestors committed a great genocide to obtain the land they squat on today. just so you can sit around posting idiocies on the internet. and getting more obese every post. i look at your children on the bus and they are all fat. if an foreign enemy wanted to invade us, theyd walk all over us. if our enemies discover how weak and fat our children have become, that very well may happen. our kids are pussies today, and i have no confidence in americas future.and maybe we deserve it
Obama should return to Somalia before he screws America completely, I think Obama is doing a better job the Osama bin laden could dream of.
Israel, you need America more than we need you. If we dropped you as an ally, it would be easy to obtain a friendship with the rest of the middle east. I suggest you put your self-righteous attitudes to rest and actually work towards a peace plan instead of refusing to budge on land that you stole in the first place. Bash me if you want, but without us, you have jack sh*t, bout time for some folks to realize that.
I love it. I wish that Netanyahu actually said that, but I suspect that this is a gag. But it is true nevertheless that the US is in no position to be dictating to Israel when it has its own problems with borders with Mexico.
If Netanyahu didn't actually say that, he should have.
If Netanyahu didn't actually say tht to Obama he should have, how dare the President of the United States presume to think that Israel must do his will.
And gatorpunk18 I guess that 18 is your age. America has ceased to be a Republic, as it was meant to be, it has now become a greedy arrogant Bully under Obama, and on the World's Stage, telling other nations, and their Leaders what they are allowed to do in their own nations. While Obama cannot even resolve problems at home with their neighbour Mexico. Not to mention the Native Americans that the US put on Reservations when they stole their land.
