Charles, thank you for your information on this issue. I do not know what the truth is. You have made a good point, though I do not know if your position is correct regarding what the President meant by “1967 lines.” If he was talking about the post-1967 war lines, those would include the Sinai peninsula as part of Israel.

Last week I was visiting my rabbi’s house to listen to information about a congregation trip to Israel. The rabbi brought out a map of Israel that was a bit old. The rabbi apologized for any confusion caused by the inclusion of the Sinai peninsula as part of Israel….but it was the only map he had that showed the level of detail he wanted for describing the trip.

This thread started several hours ago. If the media misreported the President’s message, I believe that he has an obligation to correct them. The longer this confusion goes on, the worse it will be for the administration.

Of course, it is also possible that the media interpretation of the President’s message is the correct interpretation. I am waiting to see a message from the White House correcting the media. If it does not come soon, I will have no choice but to believe that AP report was correct.
