The United States will endorse a tougher tone with Israel in an upcoming international report that takes the Jewish state to task over settlements, demolitions and property seizures on land the Palestinians claim for a future state, diplomats told The Associated Press.
The U.S. and its fellow Mideast mediators also will chastise Palestinian leaders for failing to rein in anti-Israeli violence. But the diplomats involved in drafting the document said its primary focus will be a surge of construction in Jewish housing in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
The U.S. approval of the harsh language marks a subtle shift. Washington has traditionally tempered statements by the so-called Quartet of mediators with careful diplomatic language, but the diplomats said the U.S. in this case will align itself closer to the positions of the European Union, Russia and the United Nations, who emphasize Israels role in the Mideast impasse.

Kerry will stomp his feet and huff and puff like Marvin the Martian of Looney Tunes fame
I still don’t understand why Israel puts up with this.
Keep building!
Yeah, we don’t have enough trouble with the God of Israel.
Let’s make Him more upset. This is the result of unGodly men and women heading up worldwide governments.
Which is why Bible Prophecy will be fulfilled to the letter.
it’s not ‘settlements’ when you own the place
They were attacked, they kicked ass, and they claimed the land they won
The Muslim-in-chief is using the settlement issue as an excuse to cut ties with isreal, therefore cutting off military aid and weaponry to allow his Iranian buddies to destroy the country.
“The US” ????
or
The Jew-Hating Valerie Jarrett/Obama administration. ????
US is always tough on our allies and soft on our enemies. This is an example of that, but it will change under President Trump.
Well, neither, but rather the actions of various American administrations, “getting tough” and all that, regarding Israel’s national policies.
Trump for President.
Obama is the most evil Satanic person America has ever put in office. And ( so far as we know) he’s not even an American. We definitely need some import controls !!! USA is going straight to Hell
Why no concern over illegal “Palestinian” building? Thousands of homes.
Well, America will NEVER see the Islamic Obama
get angry from the WHite Mosque at ISIS,
or al Qaeda (now partners with the Pentagon
whom they BOMBED), or Iran (now partners
with the Kerry-Iranian State Dept.,
or N. Korea, or any terrorist, anywhere.
Build, Israel, build! O has no right - and no business - trying to interfere with you building homes for your families and children. He is Satan’s representative, not the American peoples’ anyway.
No friend of the USA is safe when a Democrat is President.
The was prophesied in Zechariah 12, and Joel 3. No wonder America is in trouble.
"There's Only Two Things
I Hate About Israelis--
Everything They Say,
and Everything They Do.
Oh, and Death to America!"
