Reid Rejects Obama's Israel-Palestinian Border Stance
President Barack Obama has lost at least one ally for his views on the Mideast. In a speech Monday night, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid rejected Obama’s own talk last week in which he called for Israel to negotiate peace with the Palestinians using pre-1967 borders as a baseline, Politico reports.
“The place where negotiating will happen must be at the negotiating table — and nowhere else,” Reid told the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. “Those negotiations . . . will not happen — and their terms will not be set — through speeches, or in the streets, or in the media.”
As for the borders issue, “No one should set premature parameters about borders, about building, or about anything else,” he said.

So, now if Harry Reid could just get Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu to actually sit down with a realistic respect for Palestine, and face the fact that as long as Israel keeps destroying Palestinian homes, to make room for the occupation of settlers on Palestinian land, there will NEVER....., repeat.... NEVER, be peace or support of free thinking people for Israel. Then,... he might actually be saying something meaningful. Until that time comes, Harry and the President are just whistling in the wind. If we want Israel to take peace negotiations seriously, we've got to stop supporting their unconscionable actions in the Middle East. Having terrorists as allies is not only a threat to peace in the region, it's a threat to the credibility of the United States throughout the world.
