Republican Presidential candidates respond on Obama’s rebuke of Israel

MITT ROMNEY

“President Obama has thrown Israel under the bus. He has disrespected Israel and undermined its ability to negotiate peace. He has also violated a first principle of American foreign policy, which is to stand firm by our friends.”

MICHELE BACHMANN

"Today President Barack Obama has again indicated that his policy towards Israel is to blame Israel first. In a shocking display of betrayal towards our ally, President Obama is now calling on Israel to give up yet more land and return to its 1967 borders. If there is anything that has been proven, the policy of land-for-peace has meant that Israel has continually had to give away increasing amounts of its land and decrease its size. In exchange, it still has not known security. President Obama wants to further this policy by putting Israel in a very vulnerable position with borders that would be extremely difficult to defend.

I am calling on President Obama to reverse course and clearly renounce the position which he spelled out today. This is an insult to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu..."

TIM PAWLENTY

“President Obama’s insistence on a return to the 1967 borders is a mistaken and very dangerous demand. A disaster waiting to happen...”

HERMAN CAIN

“I was shocked at the president's position, and I was equally shocked that he suggested that Israel move the borders back.

I’d tell the world, ‘If you mess with Israel, you mess with the United States.’”
