I didn't come into this thread to debate obama's policies and I don't know what his plan his. It seems we have to be on the side of the dem or repub party in this thread. I am not a fan of either.
My comment was about the simplistic answer Palin gave about a complex issue and one where she only seems to care about the Israeli people.
I am not sure what you mean about their borders. Thats a big part of what the dispute is about. Who does the land belong to. I am not pro palestine or israel. I am pro get it figured out after all these damn years.
The land dispute has increasingly focused on Israel's occupation of the remaining territories -- the West Bank, Gaza Strip and East Jerusalem. UN Resolutions 242 and 338 stipulate that Israel must withdraw completely from these territories. Israel withdrew from the Gaza Strip on 12 September 2005, but continues to build many Jewish settlements in the other territories, actions deemed illegal by virtually all other states. The Oslo Accords (1993) and the Road Map (2003) have failed to reach a land agreement between the parties or to bring Israeli withdrawal. Since 2002, the Israeli government has been building a "security fence" that winds deep into Palestinian territory, claiming the barrier would keep Palestinian suicide bombers from striking Israeli citizens. But this separation wall is a major de facto annexation of Palestinian territories. By building the wall and increasing settlement expansion, Israel retains control over important Palestinian economic areas, agricultural grounds and natural resources like water. The International Court of Justice has ruled that Israel's West Bank barrier violates international law, but the unequal struggle over the land of Palestine continues.
