In the video below from June 4th 2008 Obama says, “Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel and it must remain undivided.” This contradicts his more recent pushes for a peace deal returning to 1967 borders. A deal with 1967 borders would split Israel.


The poster of the video emphasizes the importance of Obama’s support for Israel and that Obama is a “Good Zionist like Martin Luther King and Ronald Reagan, Al Gore and George W. Bush.” His commentary was made way back before Obama suggested going back pre 1967 borders. Below Netanyahu explains why a deal involving pre 1967 would be a deal breaker for Israel, mainly that the borders would be indefensible and split Jerusalem.
