Why are we even talking about the ’67 lines. They have no legitimacy whatsoever. Either its the Partition lines which are antiquated or its wherever we agree. R242 said we are entitled to retain some territory when setting secure borders. The Palestinians have no legitimate claim to Judea and Samaria whereas the Jews do by virtue of the Palestine Mandate. Why is Netanyahu not making this abundantly clear? We must keep the highlands overlooking the coastal plain. Ted Belman
Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas (Abu Mazen) has been doing his utmost over the last several months to persuade U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on the merits of his demand that Israel accept the 1967 lines as the basis for a future border before any negotiations can be resumed.

Groups which are usually loathe to publicly criticize the Israeli gov’t have changed their tune in wake of appeal by John Kerry.
WASHINGTON (JTA) — It’s almost boilerplate: The American Jewish community asks a foreign leader with whom it has cultivated a close relationship to kindly tell firebrands in the leader’s government to pipe down and fall in with an established policy that happens to be embraced by the U.S. government.

Why Israel’s government and people should be totally against the formation of a Palestinian state in the land G-d promised to them for eternity – the Land of Israel:
