First you have to understand that Israel has done nothing for President Obama and he deals only with those people and situations that will [personally benefit him and his reelection. I beleive that he thinks by pressuring Israel to accept the borders that the Palestinians want that everyone will be happy and he proves his great statesmanship. If Israel goes back to the pre 1967 borders they will be attacked on all fronts and could very well be eliminated, then what will the Arab States want us out of all the territory covered by the Arab's before the Crusades and then what a Muslim world ruled by who the Shites or the Sunnis?

If Israel doesn't want to play ball then the USA should cut off all aid to Israel. So how do I feel, I feel that Israel is a spoilt brat that is thinks it can have its money without any strings, and if this is a way to teach Israel a lesson then throw the country under the bus. It isn't like we haven't thrown other countries under the bus before. Yet this faux outrage isn't really about Israel's situation but about hatred that Obama is President.

Can't we cut off aid to the Palestinians too? Israel gets about $2.4 billion and the Palestinians get $1 billion. It really feels like this is a game where we are playing both sides to keep a war going that might have ended a long time ago if we just let them fight it out themselves.

Nope, I was outraged long before he actually got elected, about the time I saw Rev. Wright's G-damn speech and heard he was Obama's mentor for twenty years.

It stinks. He feels that he is always right and no one's consideration matters except his own. Therefore the US is not throwing Israel under the bus, Obama is and he alone should take the blame if he does get his own way, and as a result Israel is attacked on all sides and is eliminated. I also wonder if that is his intention. As for the Palestinians, were they not brought there by other places and was not the intention to also do what Obama wants and are not many of their leaders terrorists?

I am all for Israel keeping its present borders and perhaps expanding them to what they were in the Old Testament times. The Surians and the Jordians could have easily absolved the Palestinian people some by the way were descendants of those who wanted the walls of Jerusalem to be brought down when it was attacked and also prevented the walls being rebuilt. So now you have the Hamas and all those evil terrorist organizations being encourage b the Arab League and Muslim Brotherhood.
They have been enemies of Israel and the Jewish people for centuries and would be glad that Israel was no more.
Yet Obama wants to placate these people. Shame on him!

Well, fist off, Obama does not tell Israel what to do. Second, he has absolutely no conception of the history behind the whole situation. He gives to much trust to those who consistently tell the world they will not be satisfied until Israel is no more. Whose goal is not a Palestinian state, but Israel's destruction.
Here are some Israeli reactions:

We're headed for big trouble. And the world will say it's Israel's fault. But the world forgets the history:

How do I feel? I feel as if WWIII is right around the corner. And our president has not a clue.

I do not agree with President Obama's offer, because going back to pre-1967 borderlines will surely put Israel in more vulnerable position of attacks from Hamas in Gaza. furthermore, Israeli govt has built widespread Jewish communities in West Bank. it's just impossible to move them back to Israel Territory.
I think Obama and the quartet should concern more on the more important issues such as the establishment of Palestine state and the status of Jerusalem. the plan has been on the way since the beginning of 2000 but leads to nowhere until now. they should think of the Palestinians idea to unite West Bank and Gaza as a new Palestine state (this 2 areas areas are separated and must cross Israel territory to reach each other). and in deeper case, Palestinian refugees' claim on Israel territory as their homelands.
