why does everyone ive seen discussing this topic, regardless of which side they are on, completely forget to say he said with land swaps. the 1967 borders are to be used as a rough marker for how much land should be swapped for whatever the israelis will keep. i mean...it was one sentence even...and everyone stops listening after the first half of it?

Land swaps are going to happen, that's simple fact. But the important part of the sentence wasn't the bit about land swaps, it was calling for the borders to be based around the 1967 ones.
|
what other borders do you think they would use as a basis?
|
Israel seems keen on using the idea of 1967 borders minus the land they've grabbed since.
|
That's still a "basis" though. You said it yourself... the 1967 borders (basis) going from there.
|
But "the land they grabbed since" is a total butchery of the Six Days' borders. They'd have to land swap a helluva lot of Israel to equalize

Yeah... but Obama didn't really say that. He said
1) The 1967 borders are a basis going foward.
2) There should be landswaps.
Nowhere did he say "There should be 1 for 1 landswaps."
It could be "2 for 1" or "3 for 1" (which I believe is what the leaked papers suggested the PA was going to do?)
Could be 5 for 1.
