Netanyahu Disregards Obama, Orders Building of 2,000 New Homes in East Jerusalem

JERUSALEM (The Blaze/AP) — Israel’s prime minister is ordering the building of 2,000 new housing units for Israelis, mainly in east Jerusalem.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a statement that the new construction includes settlements near Jerusalem that he believes would be part of Israel in a peace accord.
An Israeli official said the accelerated building in the part of Jerusalem the Palestinians claim is an answer to recent unilateral moves by the Palestinians. He was speaking on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the issue.
Palestinians claim east Jerusalem as the capital of their future state and object to Jewish housing there. Palestinians demand an end to all construction in Israeli settlements before peace talks can resume. Israel rejects that as a precondition.
Netanyahu’s decision might also serve as a snub to the Obama administration after it publicly rebuked Israel for considering expanding settlements in east Jerusalem.
Back in August, The Blaze reported:
The Obama administration says it is “deeply concerned” by Israeli approval of new housing construction in disputed east Jerusalem.
The State Department says such “unilateral actions work against efforts to resume direct negotiations” and the spirit of the peace process. In a statement, the department says it has raised its objections with the Israeli government.
But after publicly suggesting that Israel “return” to its “1967 borders,” Obama’s “objections” probably do not factor in, nor do they sit well with the Israeli PM.

As well he should, and as do an ever growing number of Americans with even the most remedial understanding that an American President, lacking in leadership skills, should always be disregarded by it’s people, and vacate his/her office at the people’s earliest convenience.
Most Americans welcome and support Israel as a friend, clearly our current and one term pres. do not.

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 11:46pmIf Palestinians truly wanted to live peacefully with the Jews, they wouldn’t object to Jews settling and becoming citizens of the country they wish to form. Their objection to the settlements reinforces what we already know: the PA won‘t recognize Israel’s right to exist nor do they regard Jews as people worthy of citizenship and equal rights.

Barney, of course, would set it up so that when it collapses, the Palestinians would foreclose on the Israeli’s, convert all the properties to rentals and then put Section 8 welfare recipients in there–all on government guaranteed rental subsidies–no risk, get it!

Presidents at least since Clinton, including Bush, have been against new Israeli settlements. But the US policy for the last 20 years at least has been against additional Israeli settlements.
“Israel must continue to work with Palestinian leaders to help improve the daily lives of Palestinians. At the same time, Israel should not undertake any activity that contravenes its road map obligations, or prejudices the final status negotiations with regard to Gaza, the West Bank, and Jerusalem. This means that Israel must remove unauthorized posts and stop settlement expansion.” President Bush speaking with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas – October 20, 2005
