Asking of Israel what NO Other country is asked for
Reader comment on item: Obama's Failed Middle East Speech
Submitted by Edward (United States), May 20, 2011 at 02:29
Asking Israel to withdraw to 1967, PRE-6-day-war borders would be like Obama demanding that the US remove all borders separating the US from Mexico.
Can anyone point to a country with NO border control?
Any country in Europe? Any country in the socialist sphere? Does Russia have open borders? Does Cuba have open borders? Does China have open borders? Does Saudi Arabia have open borders?
