Uh-oh
JERUSALEM — President Obama’s endorsement on Thursday of a solution to the Israeli-Palestinian dispute based on the 1967 borders — the first time an American president has explicitly endorsed those borders as the baseline for negotiations over a Palestinian state — prompted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel to push back and the Palestinian leadership to call an urgent meeting.
Mr. Netanyahu said in a statement just before boarding a plane to Washington that while he appreciated Mr. Obama’s commitment to peace, he “expects to hear a reaffirmation from President Obama of American commitments made to Israel in 2004 which were overwhelmingly supported by both houses of Congress.”
Mr. Obama said that the solution should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed land swaps, meaning that if Israel, as expected, held onto some close-in settlements, it would have to yield an equal amount of land to the future state of Palestine from within its borders.

THERE I WILL ENTER INTO JUDGMENT AGAINST THEM CONCERNING MY INHERITANCE, MY PEOPLE ISRAEL, FOR THEY SCATTERED MY PEOPLE AMONG THE NATIONS AND DIVIDED UP MY LAND. JOEL 3:2
As I just texted to a brother, can you even imagine the carnage that would result if the New Madrid fault were to break open while trillions upon trillions of gallons of flood waters sit on top of it? The devastation happening there is already unimaginable. Throw in an 8.0 quake and I wonder if all the kings horses and all the kings men would EVER be able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again?
