Power, left, in 2002 said that peace with the Palestinians may "mean sacrificing... billions of dollars, not in servicing Israel’s military, but actually investing in the new state of Palestine, in investing the billions of dollars it would probably take, also, to support what will have to be a... meaningful military presence."
You know what I think? I think that president Barack Obama has a problem with Israel. -Peregrine

President Barack Obama’s stunning endorsement of a peace process embracing Israel’s pre-1967 borders – a situation that Israeli leaders declare would leave the Jewish State “defenseless” – is prompting closer scrutiny of several left-leaning advisers long antagonistic of America’s close ally. One of them, former journalist Samantha Power, once declared that America might one day invade Israel to disarm it and support a Palestinian state along the very controversial borders Obama now embraces.
Power, who many recent reports credit with pushing Obama’s increasingly ineffective military strategy toward Libya, is no stranger to controversy. As the Obama campaign’s chief foreign policy adviser in 2008, she was fired after calling rival candidate Hillary Clinton a “monster” during the contentious Democratic primary campaign.
Over a long career this reporter, Harvard scholar and Pulitzer Prize winner has also criticized the Bush administration’s “War on Terrorism” – a phrase the Obama administration has since abandoned – and praised the views of anti-American zealots like Noam Chomsky, whose works often describe the United States as a ruthless totalitarian power crushing liberation movements around the world.

Netanyahu Discusses The Plight of The Mexican Refugees and Urges U.S. Return to 1845 Border
From Will at The Other News:
What more can the Mexicans want? They already have the friggin’ Right of Return.
Israeli PM calls for “just solution” to end the conflict. Aboard Air Force Aleph (Reuters) – Speaking to reporters accompanying Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on his long flight to the United States tonight, Netanyahu spoke of the injustice and hardship Mexicans have endured since American forces annexed Texas in 1845.
“Tens of thousands of ordinary Mexicans were driven out of their homes – the only homes they had known for centuries – and forced to live in poverty and squalor south of the border imposed by American aggression,” Netanyahu said.
“The Israeli and Mexican people agree on this: This festering wound will never heal until America takes bold steps to return to the internationally accepted lines of 1845. Clearly the settlement activity that’s taken place in occupied Mexico since then is illegal.
When I meet the President tomorrow I will tell him to halt all building activity in Texas immediately. Two lands for two peoples, yes, but not on land taken by force from Mexico,” the Prime Minister said.
Asked if his hard-line stance could hurt the U.S.-Israel relationship, Netanyahu reiterated Israel’s commitment to America’s security and the unshakeable friendship shared by the two countries, then added, “But who was it who said, part of friendship is being able to tell your friend the truth. The ball is now in Obama’s court.”
