OMG the president of the united stated has said publicly what has been u.s. policy for at least the past 12 years!!!! clearly this calls for a complete freak out. let's compare recognizing the only borders that the u.s. has ever recognized to auschwitz. let's pull out that old trope about "indefensible borders" notwithstanding the historical fact that they were successfully defended.
as far as i'm concerned, the big news from obama's speech today is that he came out against the unilerateral declaration of a palestinian state in the general assembly. in that he did israel a huge favor. but many of the the so-called supporters of israel are too busy flipping their lid to notice.
