I am not sure I understand this comment by Obama

He said that Israel cannot be both Jewish and a democracy. Is being Jewish a nationality or a religion? Is Israel a country or a nationality or a religion? Today, 25% of Jewish citizens are not Jewish.

Today, non-Jewish citizens of Israel constitute about 25% of the population, with 20% being Arabs. ... Arab Israelis are generally not required to serve in the military, though some do volunteer. Members of the Druze and Circassian communities are drafted like Jewish citizens, at the request of their own community leaders.

Israel is currently a democracy. Arabs constitute about 25% of its citizenry. I'm not getting his point. I think he is focusing on a 2 state solution which I support as long as the Arabs/Palestinians recognize Israel's right to exist and Israel's borders are defensible. Going back to the 67 borders is suicide.

I like the 2 state solution as long as the Palestinians give up all claims to Jerusalem.

I say if anybody thinks they want it, try and take it. Israel can defend itself.

Tell that to the Israelis -- as far as they're concerned, being Jewish is both a religion and a nationality.

And that's never going to happen. Mohammed dreamed one night that he was taken to Jerusalem by angels, and that's the basis for the Muslim claims to Jerusalem, and by the Prophet and Allah they aren't letting it go.

You mean the Jews. When you ask someone who is Jewish what they are intending to mean ancestry, italian, French, etc. without fail they will say Jewish regardless of where they're actually from.

There will NEVER be peace between Israel and the Arabs. The Arab Muslims are backstabbing cut throats determined to annihilate Israel. The Israeli's have tried many times to live with the Arabs but ha ve been double crossed every time. Muslim's lie. It's OK if it furthers their agenda.
