Israel has been violating the trust of the Palestinians and the global community for decades now. The last agreement was a "Road Map" in 2003. The original UN partition plan is startling to realize how much land has been lost by the Palestinians. The original partition was from 1947.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (click here) blamed Hamas on Monday for trying to “pile up the bodies” of its own Palestinian people to generate sympathy while it fires more rockets into Israel — and Hamas responded by pointing the finger back at Israel.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu (click here) blamed Hamas on Monday for trying to “pile up the bodies” of its own Palestinian people to generate sympathy while it fires more rockets into Israel — and Hamas responded by pointing the finger back at Israel.
In an interview with NBC News' Brian Williams, Netanyahu said that Israel had no choice but to defend itself and said the Palestinian militants are culpable for mounting civilian casualties.
"They just don’t care," said Netanyahu It’s important to make that clear. They are responsible for all the civilian deaths, which we seek to minimize."...
The whittling away of the Palestinian Territory over sixty-seven years has been astounding and the USA has been right in the middle of it. Every peace process was a more and more allowance to Israel.
I am quite confident everyone knows these maps as well. It is a crime if not a human rights tragedy to realize what blatant power can do to a nation of people.
The Palestinians are being forced to move from their land with a moving border and fence or wall at any whim by Israel. The Palestinian cry for their homeland has been muted by a BRANDING of "Terrorists."
When one considers the impoverishment of these people and their inability to live within their homeland; can it be a branding as terrorists sincerely deserving of their actions? Not anymore. The lack of faith in Israel to settle within borders is a growing concern to the stability of the entire region. What will stop Israel once the Palestinian lands are finally absorbed into it's borders?
The USA has been an ally of Israel since it's inception and rightfully so. But, to continue to ignore the problems the Palestinians have faced that have brought them to this precipice is the greatest injustice.
The Palestinians have a right to their homeland and it was President Obama that has called for the return of the 1967 AGREED border swap. That means the Palestinians have a homeland as due Hebrews.

...Israeli officials (click here) said this framework would be a package deal whereby Israel would agree to entering negotiations using the 1967 lines, with mutually agreed upon swaps, as the baseline of talks; and the Palestinians would agree that the final goal of negotiations would be two states, a Palestinian one and Jewish one....
The Palestinians cannot live in mid-air. They cannot live forever on promises while their land disappears before their eyes. The killing has to stop. The peace agreement has to prevail and the border swaps concluded and finalized. We have all had quite enough of the labeling of terrorists while their future disappears as I write this. Israel is wrong. Israel is wrong in every meaning of the word and it has lost the moral stranding to continue their wars against a people unable to defend themselves.
I didn't need a Palestinian to brainwash me. I have watched and listened and supported efforts with Israel as a champion of peace. Israel lost it's moral arguments. They are old words and old images and it is quite enough.
