French President Nicolas Sarkozy addressed the Knesset today, and after saying that France would always be Israel's friend, declared that Jerusalem must be divided to make way for the Palestinian capital, and all the Jews in the West Bank must be deported to Israel. Benyamin Netanyahu spoke later and said:
Calling Sarkozy a "true friend of Israel," Netanyahu said, nevertheless
that "Jerusalem will never be divided, just as no person would ever
think of dividing any European state. We will never return to the 1967
borders and we will never withdraw from the Golan Heights."
(Douglas Feith, you worked for Netanyahu, later Bush, and once formed an organization called One Jerusalem, as reported by In These Times and Stephen J. Sniegoski. Do you agree? And why don't you address this matter in your recent book?)
Oh, answer to the above question: Just ask Barack H. Obama– the Jewish presence in American public life. In short, the Israel lobby.
Thanks to Joachim Martillo for the tip.
