3. I call it a map of countries Israel with whom Israel has negotiated peace treaties.

Which was the point being made during the speech and was shared in contrast to the same map from 1947 which had no green.

His New Middle East, when read in the context of the speech, is a statement of what is today. All of the international borders shown on the map are what is today.

It is consistent with the current Israeli borders and the current government’s position. Future governments and future maps…who knows. Depends on both sides.

From the river to the sea is the terrorist battle cry for the elimination of Israel and extermination of Jews.

To say this map, at this scale, is the equivalent toward Palestinians is as crazy as saying Israel wants to eliminate Cairo…an area and population 10x Gaza…simply because it’s not on this map.

No question Bibi wants an unattainable one state solution. Unfortunately so does Hamas. The difference between the two is what they are willing to compromise to get there and, unfortunately one side has been and still is being asked to compromise its existence to get there.

Change that and the whole landscape changes, as it could have in 2020.
