"Netanyahu Urges U.S. Return To 1845 Borders

U.S aggression has forced Mexicans into a life of hopelessness, drugs and underemployment.
Netanyahu Urges U.S. Return to 1845 Borders
Israeli PM calls for "just solution" to end the conflict.
Aboard Air Force Aleph (Reuters) – Speaking to reporters accompanying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his long flight to the United States tonight, Netanyahu spoke of the injustice and hardship Mexicans have endured since American forces annexed Texas in 1845. "Tens of thousands of ordinary Mexicans were driven out of their homes – the only homes they had known for centuries – and forced to live in poverty and squalor south of the border imposed by American aggression," Netanyahu said. "The Israeli and Mexican people agree on this: This festering wound will never heal until America takes bold steps to return to the internationally accepted lines of 1845. Clearly the settlement activity that's taken place in occupied Mexico since then is illegal. When I meet the President tomorrow I will tell him to halt all building activity in Texas immediately. Two lands for two peoples, yes, but not on land taken by force from Mexico," the Prime Minister said.
Asked if his hard-line stance could hurt the U.S.-Israel relationship, Netanyahu reiterated Israel's commitment to America's security and the unshakeable friendship shared by the two countries, then added, "But who was it who said, part of friendship is being able to tell your friend the truth. The ball is now in Obama's court."

And by the way- they will do it again when necessary, this time it will be nukes. So we better do what we can to protect our friends, or Israel will destroy their enemies - as they have every right to do.

Let me try putting this in another way. Can you please explain to us how you perceive invading another country and taking its land to be justifable as an act of self-defense.
You do realize that no country, not even the U.S. recognizes the settlements in the West Bank as legal or legitimate, do you not?

Why would we do that? Unlike the Jews, we had a place to go home to. Everyone on this planet wants a place where they can live in peace, but as we know, not everyone is willing to allow that peace. Every time Israel makes a compromise, they get hit. If you were a Jew, would you trust the Palestinians and all the countries that surround Israel?archer wrote:

once again, the same question....do you think we had the right to take Germany, Japan and Italy after WWII?
