Obama administration promotes indefensible borders for Israel
Posted by Richard on March 21, 2013
President Obama is finally visiting Israel, and he’s made all the appropriate statements about what a great friend and ally that nation is. But the video promoting the visit and the President’s itinerary tell a different story, as noted by the Washington Free Beacon:
The map of the Middle East displayed in an Obama administration video released days before President Barack Obama’s visit to Israel shows the Jewish state dispossessed of substantial parts of its current territory, including its capital.
The map of Israel, displayed repeatedly during the video, shows the Golan Heights, Jerusalem, northern Israel, and areas surrounding what is currently the West Bank as non-Israeli territory. The Golan Heights is shown as part of Syria; Jerusalem is shown as part of the West Bank; and northern Israel is shown as part of Lebanon.
The itinerary on the White House website also implies that Jerusalem is neither Israel’s capital nor even part of Israel.
The president’s schedule lists two stops in “Tel Aviv, Israel” and one in “Amman, Jordan” but his activities in Israel’s capital city are identified as taking place only in “Jerusalem” — with no country name attached. This keeps with a reluctantly-acknowledged administration policy of denying that Jerusalem is Israel’s capital or even a part of Israel.
The map in the Obama administration video shows borders that are simply indefensible. And the exclusion of Jerusalem denies over 3000 years of history in favor of the claims of the 7th-century barbarians who control Egypt and Saudi Arabia and appear to be Obama’s real friends.
Disgusting and contemptible. But not a surprise from this administration, which recently sent the radical Islamists ruling Egypt, who call Jews “the descendants of apes and pigs,” more money, tanks, and F16s.
