Contiguous?
In an effort to keep American Jews Jewish persons (who support the nation of Israel) from completely abandoning him for his radical foreign policy views and support of and by Hamas, Fatah and Hezbollah, Senator, and perhaps future president, Barak Obama went to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee meeting and said a lot designed to reassure part of his party's generally reliable base about his steadfast support for Israel. He also said this:
OK, the former part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Transjordan, the West Bank, is on the eastern side of Israel and the former Egyptian conquest, called the Gaza Strip or just Gaza, from which Israel unilaterally withdrew recently, is on the west side of Israel. How do you make these two 'Palestinian' areas contiguous without making Israel two parts? Riddle me that, Batman.
Local Jewish person/spokesman Craig Silverman announced on the radio yesterday that he was fully satisfied with Obama's speech at the AIPAC. I guess he's OK with a bifurcated Israel then.
Let me be clear. Israel's security is sacrosanct. It is nonnegotiable. The Palestinians need a state that is contiguous and cohesive, and that allows them
to prosper.
