U.S. State Department Calls for Israel to Return to '67 Borders

The Left-leaning (being kind here) U.S. State Department responds to Bibi's generous offer to the ungrateful residents of the West Bank doesn't seem to be quite enough.  They want a return to the 1967 borders.  Why won't anyone discuss how and why things changed after 1967?  You know...Israel was attacked and it responding by kicking ass and taking names.  Thus securing its borders and helping Jewish residents in the West Bank (Judea and Samaria) live where they wanted to live.  Amazing how Jews are the only ones who aren't allowed to live in certain countries.  The only people for which that rule applies in the world.  Seems to me that there are over 1 million Arabs living in Israel.  Interesting. Also almost comical to think that there are those that actually believe that once Israel bends over, that the Arabs won't do what one does when someone bends over.
Today’s announcement by the Government of Israel helps move forward toward resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. We believe that through good-faith negotiations the parties can mutually agree on an outcome which ends the conflict and reconciles the Palestinian goal of an independent and viable state based on the 1967 lines, with agreed swaps, and the Israeli goal of a Jewish state with secure and recognized borders that reflect subsequent developments and meet Israeli security requirements. Let me say to all the people of the region and world: our commitment to achieving a solution with two states living side by side in peace and security is unwavering.
