And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother's eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?

What is with the President of the United States?  Obama for the first time endorsed the Palestinians' demand that their eventual state be based on borders that existed before the 1967 Six Day War in which Israel forces occupied east Jerusalem, the West Bank and Gaza.  Are we to expect the U.S. government to change its policies in regards to its own history from this new policy?

Case in point:  In the 1800’s the U.S. invaded and occupied land of a tribal people and forced them on secluded worthless land.  They were then labeled hostile and many were massacred by the U.S. Army.  When valuable natural resources were found on the “worthless land” these tribal people were again moved.  

The President of the United State forced worthless treaties upon the wealthy and educated groups of the more advanced tribes.  Their homes, businesses, and land were confiscated by the U.S. government.  Over 4000 of these non-violent people died from the actions of the U.S. government when forced to walk 800 miles to be relocated.   The U.S. government continued to oppress these people because they wanted their land.  The U.S. government would not allow these people to keep their children, speak their own language, own property or practice their own religion.  For the most part, however, the U.S. government was a ruthless enemy. The government attacked many harmless villages, and killed many in government approved massacres. 

So, if we would require other nations who under military action gained land from their “enemies” then should we not do the same? 

The arrogance of President Obama to demand Israel to change their borders back to 1967 is the height of hypocrisy.  Maybe we should clean up our own house before we criticize others. 

I am aware Israel has depended upon the United States for economic and military aid and that our government may feel we have paid the price to control the actions of the Israeli government but regardless Israel is still a sovereign nation. 

Has Israel made mistakes in their dealing with the Palestinian people?  No doubt, however, if the Arab Nations had not been so set on destroying Israel this problem would have been settled long ago.  There have been many opportunities for the Palestinians to have their own home land but they refused to make peace.  

Before we get the “holier than thou” attitude do we give back the land our government took from the Native Americans?  Do we give back Texas to Mexico?  Do we give back lands we took from Spain?  I don’t think so.  For those who would say Israel is different, you are wrong.  They won the land through military action just as we won Texas from military action.  It is time we pulled out of the conflict that has existed since 1948 and let Israel take care of its own problems.  I am sure if the world stopped meddling in Israel’s affairs they would solve the Palestinian problem.  If the Arab Nations are so concerned about the Palestinians let them open their doors to the thousands of refugees that are now homeless and show compassion.  But that is not the Arab way.
