From an Australian, (not Jewish or even evangelical just has some common sense and a moral compass) far smarter than Obama:

In This Case there was never an Arab Palestinian State or Arab Palestinian people, But The Jewish State and connection to the Land of Israel goes back over 3000 years - which includes Jordan, Syria and Lebanon.

Archeological excavations and historical data is the best proof Israel belongs to the Jewish Nation and non-other.

All the Arabs in Israel and surrounding areas are from the various Arab nations, such as Jordan, Syria, Egypt, Lebanon and other Arab nations.

Transfer all Arabs from Israel to Jewish Land and Homes confiscated by Arab Countries.

Prominent PLO Arab says there are no 'Palestinians' and no "Palestine"

PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein admitted in a March 31, 1977 interview with a Dutch newspaper Trouw.

"The Palestinian people do not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism. "

The Qur'an 17:104 - states the land belongs to the Jewish people

If the historic documents, comments written by eyewitnesses and declarations by the most authoritative Arab scholars are still not enough, let us quote the most important source for Muslim Arabs:

"And thereafter we [Allah] said to the Children of Israel: 'Dwell securely in the Promised Land.

The cause of One million Jewish Refugees from Arab States must be be addressed and resolved. - their properties and assets confiscated. Many died while being ejected by Arab States.

Obama's delusion

They didn't seem to notice or care that Obama had not made the dissection of Israel or the creation of a Palestinian state contingent upon the dissolution of the new ties between Hamas and Fatah, or their acceptance of a "non-militarized" state. His statement about their need to acknowledge Israel's right to exist was ambiguous enough to satisfy (or enrage) both sides.

And so if the aftermath of this speech follows the pattern of earlier attempts to bring peace to the Middle East, the Israelis will be forced to make genuine concessions in exchange for Palestinian promises that will quickly be broken – although no one will be holding them accountable for that.

So it goes, and so it will go, until the Jihadists destroy Israel utterly, or someone in Washington gets a clue. Whichever comes first.

The point is that President Obama handed the Palestinians a tremendous
concession by embracing the Palestinian assertion that it somehow has the
implicit right to every square millimeter beyond the Green Line and thus
must be compensated on a 1:1 basis for any adjustment to the line so that
the final land mass under its control remains the same.

This was not - repeat not - the meaning of UNSC 242.
