This is Exhibit A as to why Netanyahu should completely disregard any perceived “pressure”applied to his government by Obama, Clinton or Mitchell. It simply does not reflect the Congress or the American people, and therefore cannot be considered the “position of the U.S. government”. It is not. And absolutely NOTHING will happen if Israel ignores the Administration and buyild all the settlements it wants.
Bibi has been there before with Clinton. He knows how to deal with American Liberals. I expect him to effectively manipulate public perceptions of the Obama administration, rather than the reverse.
