"Read my lips -- no new settlements!"

JERUSALEM – The Obama administration pledged to the Palestinian Authority it will secure an extension of a freeze on Jewish construction in the West Bank and a de facto freeze in eastern Jerusalem, a top PA leader told WND.
Under intense U.S. pressure, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in November announced a 10-month halt to all Jewish construction in the West Bank in an attempt to jumpstart talks aimed at creating a PA-led state. Netanyahu had publicly claimed the settlement moratorium was temporary and that new construction would resume after the freeze expires in September.
The Obama administration is also demanding a total halt to all Jewish construction in eastern Jerusalem as a precondition to jumpstart talks. Netanyahu has refused an official freeze, but almost no new Jewish construction in eastern Jerusalem has been approved since last month.
A top PA leader told WND in a phone interview today that Obama administration officials told him they are confident Netanyahu will extend the construction freeze to the West Bank as well as the de facto freeze in eastern Jerusalem beyond the agreed-upon time limits.

Just wait until the declare Detroit, MN and their upstate NY training camp as the Gaza, West Bank and Golan Hts. of the USA.
Yeah Obambi thinks he and his family and his other elitist regime comrades will rush to the new underground bunker near D.C. and hunker down in luxury, then come out after the radiation is gone and continue lording over the few survivors ! Oh, and you can bet, no thilly, ole Republicans will be allowed to enter that bunker! Think about that REPUBLICANS!
not to worry, just another promise he can’t keep
I highly recommend a book called AS AMERICA HAS DONE TO ISRAEL. It lays out the incredible correlation of good/bad that happens to the USA at moments when we are dealing favorably/unfavorably with Israel. It makes perfectly clear that God's promise to bless those who bless Israel and curse those who curse Israel, is very much intact and in force.
THANKS! :)
Netanyahu should promise to Obama that he will stop building in Jerusalem when Obama stops construction in DC
"Read my lips -- no new settlements!"
Zero has a strange blind ambition to destroy Israel.
and America...
I think he’s trying to get or keep Israel off balance until the Iranians have nukes to use on Isreal and the US. On that bitter winter night, Hussein will be playing golf somewhere warm...
Ha ha ha!
Nice pic, but you should probably change it to “Muslim” land because there are several non-Arab states on that map.
Arabs don't do a lot of construction. They specialize in DEstruction.
Actually a third of the planned housing units for the next couple of decades were to be reserved for Arabs. 20 units for jews is a controversy, 17,000 slated for Arabs doesn’t deserve a mention in the MSM.
Zero is an arrogant self-absorbed little twit that has delusions of competency. He’s not fit to shine Bibi’s shoes. Zero better check history very carefully: those that persecute God’s Chosen People(oh, and Muslims are NOT God’s Chosen People...regardless of what they think) wind up in the dustbin of history.
Not an opinion, just a statement of fact.
I didn't create that jpeg, but I get your point.
If only those pseudo intellectual elitists in Washington would get the message. But, there are many of us praying for Israel and I pray God honors our prayers.
We know there's not gonna be any lasting peace in Israel until Christ returns, but this notion of mideast peace appears to have an almost narcotic effect on recent presidents. Bush1 was a big pusher of "land for peace" nonsense, as was Clinton. Even Bush2, who professed Christianity, demonstrated a real biblical ignorance regarding the issue. Now we have an outright Israel hater in the White House. The bottom line is that our support of Israel has been on an overall downward trend since Reagan left office, and that puts us in a scary position with regard to judgment.
I donate to Joel Rosenberg's Joshua Fund and I need to pray more for Israel. And us.
