What does President Obama want Netanyahu to do?

According to the back-to-1967 plan of President Obama, before the negotiations can begin, Israel's Prime Minister must promise to: strip Israel of its negotiating chips (by agreeing to go back to 1967 lines), give up defensible boundaries (by getting a 9 mile territorial width), give up Judaism's holiest place of prayer (the Western Wall) and give up pilgrim's rights, give up Judaism's holiest residential neighborhood (the Jewish Quarter of the Old City), give up half of its capital city, give up all of Judea and Samaria, create a humanitarian crisis by expelling more than 500,000 Israelis from their homes and neighborhoods.

Obama wants to slice and dice Israel, but he doesn't want to be the one to force it -- he wants the government of Israel to take the blame for doing this. So he wants to pressure Netanyahu to accept this.

If Netanyahu accepts this plan, then he will have legitimized the idea of returning to the 1967 plans. When there is a deadlock in the negotiations, Obama will demand that Israel return to the 1967 lines. He will say: "The United States does not accept the legitimacy of Israel's refusal to return to the 1967 lines." And after Israel has accepted Obama's terms and thereby legitimized the idea of such a return to 1967, Israel will be in a weaker position to refuse it. Then, Obama and his friends in the international community will threaten Israel with "isolation" if Israel doesn't return to the 1967 lines.

Obama's second goal, if he doesn't succeed in slicing and dicing Israel, is to cause the collapse of Israel's government, and to remove Netanyahu from power.
