Will Obama's "1967 borders" for Israel comment hurt him with Jewish voters?

We have to show some kind of fairness for the Middle Eastern non-Israel regions to have any kind of respect for us.

We are so lopsided in our support for Israel, it doesnt even make sense to me. And its the main reason we are in the mess we are in now. When Bin Laden announced his jihad against America, it was not about the Muslim religion (that was a tool he used to recruit weak minded impoverished people). Bin Laden made it clear that his beef with America was about our foreign policy with regards to Israel.

Why must we blindly back everything Israel wants to do, without showing any type of fairness or compassion to the Palestinians?

Obama impressed me with his stance, and I agree with him completely and think its the best way to ever promote any type of peace in the region. How can we promote peace when we are not treating both sides fairly?

As long as we blindly support Israel, we will always have a violent problem with the other Middle Eastern regions. And I certainly dont want to throw Israel under a bus by any means, but we should have a little fairness in our foreign views.

Is it that difficult to understand the Paletinians position of being pissed off that they were kicked off their land?

I'm becoming more and more impressed with Obama's foreign policy and role as commander in chief by the minute.

And Dell, whats so wrong about praising Muslim accomplishments and music? Since when do we have to be haters of all things Muslim? I've made my stance very clear, I have no respect at all for the 10% of Muslims that are extremists that follow Sharia Law. I think they are despicable. But that doesnt mean we have to be dismissive of the other 90%.
