Bibi Meets With Obama And Pushes Back

Israeli PM Netanyahu met with President Obama the day after the president's execrable speech on the Middle East yesterday and told the president he was prepared to make compromises to achieve peace but that he rejected President Barack Obama's proposal that Israel return to 1967 borders.

It's obvious that the meeting itself was not an amicable one...just look at Obama's posture and body language in this video. His anger is obvious.

Bibi's public statement suffered for a halting, somewhat uncertain delivery and a certain obsequiousness ( which may have been feigned and a device not to appear too combative), but essentially he hit all the right notes...that Israel cannot return to the indefensible '67 lines, that Israel cannot negotiate with a 'Palestinian' government that is allied with Hamas, ( whom Netanyahu cleverly referred to as the 'Palestinian' version of al-Qaeda), that there were two groups of refugees resulting from the 1948 attack on Israel, that Israel had absorbed the Jewish refugees,that the Arabs had refused to absorb theirs, that the solution to the 'Palestinian' refugee problem would have to be addressed outside Israel's borders and that it was time the 'Palestinians' were told that.

This is pretty much what I think Netanyahu will say when he addresses Congress.
