Quote from a_person:
âThe borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines, with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states,â he (Obama) said.
Nothing particularly earth-shattering in the speech, the old "land for peace" formula that was first introduced in 1967 UN resolution 242. Israel accepted it, the Arab world rejected it, the formula eventually became the basis for peace treaties with Egypt and Jordan. When the Pals are ready to make peace and forget their "right of return" non-starter they'll get their land and their state back.
I doubt Obama won or lost any votes today, it's pretty much mainstream by-partisan thinking on the conflict.
