re: #363 Big Steve

It was meant to be a comprehensive speech on the ME, and this was the portion dealing with the Arab-Israeli conflict. There shouldn’t have been any controversy over these items, but apparently mentioning 1967 and line is turned into demands that Israel return to its 1948 border, which is clearly not what he stated.

Moreover, everyone is ignoring the actual policy change - which is that if the Palestinians don’t accept Israel’s right to exist they don’t get a state. That’s the strongest iteration of those comments by a President, whether it was Clinton, Bush or Obama.
