When Prime Minister Netanyahu claimed that the 1967 borders (i.e. the 1949 armistice lines) are indefensible in response to President Obama’s call for Israel and the Palestinians to negotiate a two-state for two-people’s end of conflict solution to the conflict on the basis of that line with appropriate negotiated land swaps, no credible military and security voices corroborated his view. So claims a group of Israeli generals and security experts who are in the United States this week. I will be meeting with one of these generals later in the week and will report back what I hear, but I wanted folks to read the Haaretz account of their journey to the US (they were brought by J Street) and why they are here. They will be meeting with the National Security Council officials and groups around the country urging a two-state solution before it is too late.
