Get the message is not gonna happen Obama's mideast peace policy policy is right up there what is energy policy.
Pie in the sky ideology with no real chance for success.
Welcome back to the show congressman Charlie Rangel.
Congressman.
It was pretty clear Bibi Netanyahu made very clear that the three pillar of the cornerstones -- mr.
Obama's peace plan.
Namely 1967 borders.
Negotiate with Hamas.
Also give the Palestinian refugees like that allow them some place to live within Israel he said no he said no mister Obama.
We're not in should any one of those three is -- -- is present in over his head.
That -- person well let's see where the agreement as you and I know that every president has said that the United States policy.
Is to have to 67 border lines and everyone knows that -- -- has never accepted that so let make.
Make it clear this is not an Obama policy this is entitled -- -- -- I'm not sure every president has said well referenced it but I'm not sure they don't.
Hate Israel and go back here -- your prior I don't know what you mean reference that you know I have an agreement if they wanna references it's been a bit its not new it's not Obama.
I think Kerry this is when -- -- exciting times we read.
The fact that there's so many people in this area that seeking peace.
Whether we talked about Egypt -- the surrounding countries the most important thing here is not what our president of -- prime minister says.
Put the integrity and for the protection of United States.
Israel's survival it's important to us tokens in the lower -- -- in the area let let's work and effort yet -- survival is important for.
-- say.
Extremely important for us on -- many levels and about not only just stuff but foreign policy but it oil prices etc.
there.
We need debt ally in the middle no question about it Jewish Americans across the board since mr.
Obama's speech yesterday have come to me and said whether it's -- what it's would have called me up on the phone bumping -- -- in the -- saying.
They threw -- mr.
Obama through Israel under the bus and I think that is very brought I think that's abroad at a problem.
-- just too many people expressing what they think is good for Israel.
When I think the prime minister and the people in Israel should be -- law than the people who know whether that we too tough for two -- Personable let me say this the biggest problem I think that they agree on.
There's no way in heck did negotiate with -- country if they say that you don't have a right to live right to survive.
And so if you talk about the Hamas that Fatah Palestinian Authority.
They agreed completely I don't.
They degrees -- let's look at something completely different Arab terror bombing yesterday's as they -- Negotiate with Hamas notoriety it under terms that it may not date ideology -- every now but that's nonetheless there doesn't negotiate what -- -- -- should absolutely not we will never negotiate with Hamas you cannot negotiate.
-- -- you and if you tell me that can lead this nothing to negotiate.
Once you say you're not getting killed -- that I still don't trust you.
But you can't negotiate with someone says that they got a white -- well they agreed that.
The -- and that ended doesn't mean that the border lines are locked into C met.
I thought that was a good -- you know I wanted to body language and the words.
But it did BA yeah host yeah I do much but he's no longer.
He was very he's very adamant about -- -- -- you Mr.
President Obama however the three things you propose.
No -- gonna happen.
Well let me tell you Obama they have the world's problem on his hand.
But that's and -- who has the survival of the nation on his.
The whole thing rests would have been able to walk affirmed -- table and time does not on his side as you side.
We it's bad strongest brand in the world would not that it -- as you build out.
And and you keep talking about what people have told you that -- feelings.
-- -- -- -- -- But no one knows more about Israel than those people that are in Israel absolutely absolutely I believe it now represent those people talking about what the president should do what -- -- let me ask you this before we lose your congressman the president has visited Afghanistan he's been the aged he's been to and Libya -- -- throughout the Middle East.
He hasn't -- is really.
Does he have a right to tell Israel what her borders should be he has -- -- -- -- -- -- cause -- he can talk about what the suggestions.
They have to get together and makes -- the most important thing is that.
Israel's security is safe and sound why do we negotiate with someone that could go down the -- would would neither.
We need there's a symbol of democracy throughout the Middle East.
I mean that is up for this just had someone that would just -- telling Israel to back off with the Palestinians.
Is that making Israel a stronger Israel is doing what.
It's asking that the Israelis to give up the territory -- as fast -- it was idiotic points out that.
There's a strip that would be eight or nine miles wide -- making almost.
Indefensible in his words that it won't work but he is not telling them he's not shut it down your throat.
When he says that they have to feel secure.
He means it and so it's not -- -- be Obama in the United States telling them what's good for Israel.
But they got together and they locked in as saying that they got -- stick with this until they get it right all right I.
I hope you're right I hope I sincerely hope you're right congressman Charlie regulated with -- -- thanks for coming days.
