I mentioned here that that President Obama’s endorsement of 1967 lines with land swaps as the basis for Israel-Palestinian negotiations was not entirely unprecedented. William Rogers, Richard Nixon’s first secretary of state, had the same idea in 1969.
As I said, that’s kind of ancient history. At Commentary, Rick Richman is able to further devalue it as a precedent — Rogers was off the reservation, and Nixon and his then-national security adviser, Henry Kissinger, nipped the idea in the bud.
