An official in the White House reacted angrily on Wednesday, after Channel 10 News reported that Israel had approved tenders for the construction of 300 new homes in Jerusalem and plans to build more housing units beyond the “Green Line”.
The report explained that the tenders in question, for construction in Jerusalem’s Ramot neighborhood, were published last November, right after the Palestinian Authority’s unilateral move at the United Nations which got it upgraded to the status of a non-member observer state, and before U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry began his latest push for the renewal of peace talks.
Channel 10 cited a Housing Ministry document it had obtained and which discusses the publications of tenders for another 797 new housing units in the Gilo neighborhood.
"Given the Ministry’s decision to immediately market 797 housing units on the site, there is an urgent need to complete the details of the design, as the marketing will be published in the coming weeks," says the document.
A White House official told Channel 10 in response, "We do not accept the legitimacy of continued Israeli settlement construction, which undermines efforts to achieve peace and are contrary to the obligations that Israel undertook upon itself.”

The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Pro-al Qaeda America supports MANPADs to al Qaeda in Libya,
crucifixions in Egypt, and now, with McCain leading
the way for his Obama, massacres of Christian
villages in Syria.
Is it really a surprise that the antiSemitic White House
would object to Israeli Jews building homes in their
own capitol?
I didn't vote for Carter back then and I certainly didn't vote for this Carter on steroids now.
Gasp. Shocking.
You know what, Israel should just claim Mecca as it’s own. I know it doesn’t have any claim to it, but what the hell. Israel has had claim to Jerusalem for over 2,000 years. Islam didn’t come along until 500 ad
Seriously, just tell these rag-heads to F off. And after you’ve told Obama and his administration, then tell the rest of them.
If homes are needed, build Israel, build.
White House reacts angrily?...LMAO!
Islam has NO claim to Jerusalem. It is NEVER mentioned in the Qu’ran. Not once.
***A White House official told Channel 10 in response, “We do not accept the legitimacy of...***
What a coincidence! We don’t accept the legitimacy of the bozo in chief either...
Thank HaShem!
There is no end to the mendacity of the falsestinians.
“America to build in Washington DC, Israel angry!”
(we’re waiting for that headline. The reverse headlines keep repeating, nauseously, it being so damned embarrassing for the United States to have a government so incredibly bigoted, and downright stupid...
The whole world laughs at us now, ever wonder why? This is but one very small sample of why...)
Ain’t that the truth! The problem is that most people don’t know the truth. They believe that Mohammed went to Jerusalem too, when he was NEVER there. They’re surprised when they’re told it never happened. The Dome of the Rock is nothing more than a dog marking it’s forcefully taken territory. (and trying to wipe out the truth)
Bibi needs to tell Obama to build the Keystone Pipeline and get out of Guam since we are gonna play swap the leadership games.
Seriously, just tell these rag-heads to F off. And after you’ve told Obama and his administration, then tell the rest of them.
Damn right!
But WAIT! mo flew there in a dream on a magic flying horse ironically named baraq.
Can the WH sick the IRS to audit Israel? Or is Lois Lerner out of action to do on their ‘hate group’?
“It is the President’s opinion that Israel should recognize that the settlement policy is not conducive to achieving peace and hampers the Palestinians chances of establishing a state on sustainable borders,” added the official.
Obama’s “opinion” isn’t worth SPIT!
Obama is in NO POSITION, to be telling Israel what it “should” do.
Obama has no clue, which behaviors are “conducive” to ANYTHING.
The primary obstacle to a Palestinian State, is Palestinian BEHAVIOR.
