This is pehnomenal. Lines, borders, how many would know the difference?
Media Misreport Obama Reference to ‘67 Lines
Camera - excerpt
In a policy speech this afternoon, President Barack Obama, referring to the Israeli-Palestinian peace process, said the “1967 lines” should be the basis of a future border between Israel and Palestine. Major media organizations, however, are now wrongly announcing that Obama referenced “1967 borders.”
The difference between the two terms — borders and lines — is extremely significant.
In short, the word “border” implies legality, political significance and permanence that does not apply in this circumstance.
Although President Obama correctly used the term “lines” to describe what was the frontier between Israel and the Jordanian-occupied West Bank between 1949 and 1967, major media organizations, including some Jewish and Israeli sources, are now wrongly announcing that he referenced “1967 borders.”
Obama actually said: “We believe the borders of Israel and Palestine should be based on the 1967 lines with mutually agreed swaps, so that secure and recognized borders are established for both states.”
