Full of empty rhetoric and platitudes. Israel must “halt all settlements” for a peace to occur indeed. Ha! Would we have halted all settlement the greater Southwest after the Mexican War?

“Israel must “halt all settlements” for a peace to occur indeed.”

The settlements are illegal under Israeli law and removal of the sttlements has always been Israeli policy. Additionally, the US policy, under Clinton, Bush and now Obama, has always been in support of Israel’s removal of settlements. No change in policy.
