Israel said Friday it will construct hundreds of new housing units in West Bank settlements before any slowdown in building, an announcement that drew harsh criticism from Washington, which demands a complete settlement freeze as a prelude to renewing Mideast peace talks.
Israeli officials painted the move as a concession to the U.S. demand because it might bring a temporary halt to other construction. But since it would also mean building the new units and finishing some 2,500 others now under construction, it looked more like defiance than acquiescence.
Israel's proposal also does not include any freeze in building in east Jerusalem, which the Palestinians hope to make their future capital.

Obamunist, go pound sand.
Go Israel..praying for ya!
Please don't confuse us with the current occupant of the WH... he doesn't speak for us... and he used up all his political capital and won't be there after 2012...
They should have a perfect right to do this ON THEIR OWN DIME. It is time to take Israel and the Arab countries off of U.S. taxpayer welfare.
They’ve taken Obama’s measure, and found him to be a midget.
Looks like Netanyahu has Obama’s full measure. ;-)
Just like everyone else, Bibi is tell 0bama to go pizz off. So much for “America’s restored image.” LOL
tell = telling
Right on, Israel! God Bless Israel!
Israel and Honduras. Two countries with the clankers to tell Dear Leader to put some ice on it after he pounds sand.
I have a friend of a friend who is a total Obama nut. She is a JAP (Jewish American Princess) who calls herself a Jew and refers to the Jews as ‘My People” in the same conversation that she says that israel should not be of US concern, that the Jews need to take care of themselves or fail. She feels zero sympathy for the Holocaust survivors because, she says, ‘they went complacently into the ovens’.
I will admit that I don’t know a lot of American Jews but I sure hope that this is an exception, not a shared belief.
ha!
Good to read.
Me too, now go pay for it yourself
