OBAMA GAVE THEM A HAND, NOW THEY WANT AN ARM: ZAHAR/HAMAS: "Let's start with the 1948 borders!"

OBAMA GAVE THEM A HAND, NOW THEY WANT AN ARM:
Zahar: Palestinians should not settle for 1967 borders

Hamas
leader says 1967 borders not enough, asks Obama why he wouldn't be willing to discuss 1948 borders.

Senior Hamas leader Mahmoud Zahar said Monday that it was clear that US President Barack Obama's platform was not so different from the one adopted by former US president George W. Bush. According to Zahar, the 1967 borders, while "sacred," were not the final borders on which the Palestinians should settle.

Speaking to Al-Emirate Al-Youm, Zahar asked "Why won't we talk about the 1948 borders? Why won't we discuss the partition plan which was internationally recognized?"
THIS IS WHAT APPEASEMENT ALWAYS YIELDS.

There are no borders that will make a difference in the ME standoff. It might as well stay like it is until Israel is attacked again. No "Peace for Land" will hold any longer than it takes for the ink to dry on the "treaty". Any adverse border change would just accelerate Israel's near term risk.

I like the idea of 1967 borders - like as of July 1 1967!
