Mr. Netanyahu said the announcement by the Interior Ministry was made without his knowledge, and the timing was unintentional. He apologized to Biden and had hoped that the matter was closed.Anyone who actually believes that this announcement was unplanned, please contact me about that oceanfront property in Kansas I have. Israel knows damn well exactly what it did. They told Biden to go screw himself, then they told Hillary to go screw herself with Biden's wang.
Israel's ties with the U.S. have plummeted since President Barack Obama took office more than a year ago and demanded a complete freeze on Jewish settlement expansion. Israel refused, but eventually imposed a partial freeze on settlement construction in the West Bank.
Israeli analyst Yoni Ben Menachem says the freeze does not apply to East Jerusalem, which the Palestinians claim as the capital of their future state. "Israel has the right to continue and to build in Jerusalem and in East Jerusalem, and this is the formal policy of this government. And this our right to build in Jerusalem our capital," he said.
But he says the timing of the announcement was a fiasco. "This unplanned announcement embarrassed the visit of Vice President Biden to Israel. And maybe it was right, the right decision, but it was not so smart," he said.
Israel cannot completely ignore America. We give them too much. But they can and will completely ignore the Obama administration, and will continue to do so until A) Obama's irrelevant or B) they force our hand by attacking Iran.
They figure if A happens first after the 2010 elections, then they'll get to do B anyway. After all, that's the goal.
