The United States ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power, spoke at the Haaretz Conference in New York on Sunday, where she criticized Israel for "continued settlement growth" and urged both Israelis and Palestinians to renew peace efforts.
"We are under no illusion that achieving peace is easy - it takes tough choices by both sides," she said before criticizing both sides and adding that "we have not seen sufficient commitment from either side to create conditions for peace."
Specifically with regards to Israel, Power claimed that "continued settlement growth raises questions about Israelâs long-term objectives," according to remarks quoted by the newspaper.
She said that the United States will always stay Israel's partner, and noted U.S. efforts against attempts to delegitimize Israel at the UN, a place where "Israel hasn't always been treated fairly."
Power said the bias against Israel at the UN persists, and blasted what she called the "absurdity" of Israel being the only country with a standing item on the agenda of the UN Human Rights Council - "not Syria, which gasses its citizens."

She wants te U.S. to invade Israel anyway. Her husband, Cass Sustein, is a real disgrace to the tribe. He is part of the reason antsemites call us Jews Commies. Americans should be mudged toward Collectivism?

Did she deliver the speech in German ?

Jerusalem needs to get going building homes for its people. Each new city in Israel’s heartland (Samaria and judea) can be named in honor of an enrmy of the Jews. Obamaville, powers town, Kerry heights, mount soros estates, hitler hills, hamanberg, etcetera. Of course, give them decent names too - the kind that residents can use in public without need of spitting

And the jihadist mass-murders? Those were gun crimes. And the Libyan jihad murders of embassy staff? Due to an internet video.
