Netanyahu arrives in Washington, with aim of mending U.S. ties

Israel has the right to not only build in it's territories, disputed or not by the general population of the surrounding troublemakers, and it also has the right to decent, appropritate treatment by it's allies. What Obama did this week was further proof of his incompetence, when it comes to playing fair with our allies. We of America, for the most part are fond of the only democracy in the middle east but obviously have a president who sees the friends as enemies and the enemies as people to help and succour in times of need. It was shameful behaviour for a man of such high position and the Americans are ashamed of it. Long live Israel!!

What would Oboma Tell Netanyahu were to tell him where he could build in America, I think it would be, Your out of your tree.

Better than the $900M given by Hillary Clinton to the Hamas as a reward for attempting to blow up Israel. By the way, the $900M was USA taxpayer money. Get your facts straight rather than rely on your anti-semitism.

Israel has given back the Gaza and the West Bank for peace with the Palestinians. What did they get - NOTHING but explosions and more terror. Obama opened his mouth promising a stop on construction in Israel when he was in Arabia. Enough is Enough. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel, and Israel has the right to build in east Jerusalem. The USA didn't give Netanyahu any money this visit, but they gave Gaza a "reward" for sending missiles toward Israel, $900M dollars. Obama is not a friend of Israel contrary to what Obama says. I think he's a very fightening president and has lost my support.

have you expressed your distaste to those that made those comments or are you trying to draw attention away from them?

Israel is limited to 3 billion military aid that is spent in the USA. Where do the billions (more than to Israel)given to the Arabs end up? Why do you people never think of that in your oft repeated concerns for the financial welfare of the USA?

Can't wait.!

Not a penny. They are multi-billion dollar gifts of the American taxpayer.

to the US military after they got Sadaam out of the Gulf. 2.Afghanistan turned on the US after helping them get rid of the Soviets 3.US forces fight in Kosovo for Moslems. Gratitude?Islamist terroor

and no photos please, nobody wants to be photographed with either Lieberman or Netanyahu.

Meanwhile in London Jerusalem Mayor said"we are not building 1.600, but 50,000 housing units". Testing the first african-american President of the USA. Now it is up to Barak Obama to show that just because he is black doesn't mean that the Israelis can push him around.

you need to look up what the slogans mean if you do not want to look completely ignorant. Or are you confusing it with what the Arabs do in Darfur?

In listing the reasons for the Arab failure in 1948, Khaled al-Azm (Syrian Prime Minister) notes that "the fifth factor was the call by the Arab governments to the inhabitants of Palestine to evacuate it and leave for the bordering Arab countries. Since 1948, it is we who have demanded the return of the refugees, while it is we who made them leave. We brought disaster upon a million Arab refugees by inviting them and bringing pressure on them to leave.-Khaled el-Azm, after the 1948 War in his 1972 memoirs

I like Israel, but it bugs me when people make this stupid argument. I will make it simple. Imagine that the US government sends one dollar to Israel, and Israel gives it to an Israeli who visits the USA and buys a Macdonalds McDouble. I am in line behind him, and I want a McDouble. "Sorry, we gave it to him." Say that Israel instead spends the dollar on a rivet from Lockheed. Lockheed pays the dollar to a Lockheed employee who stands in front of me at Macdonald's and eats my McDouble. Say Israel instead buys a bullet from Britain, the british trade the dollar for part of a pound, and the American who had the pound eats my McDouble. Any way it goes, the dollar comes back and buys something from Americans, something that Americans work to make and then don't get to use. Because we gave it to Israel. Maybe it's right to give stuff to Israel. But you don't do me any favors when you spend my money in the USA. Maybe you do Lockheed a favor. I don't much like Lockheed.

"How is it illegal for Jews to reclaim the properties which Jordan kicked them out of in 1948?" You seem to be confusing two different things. It's perfectly legal for Israelis to reclaim properties anywhere they own them. By international law it isn't legal for Israel to decide that properties outside of Israel are part of Israel, no matter who owns them. Of course, it's possible a Palestinian government might discriminate against Jews, rather as the Israeli government has strongly discriminated against Goys. What's that -- not a single building permit issued to a Palestinian since 1967? Jewish property owners might face that kind of thing. And some of their titles might not hold up in court.... Might it be better if Jerusalem was held by some foreign entity that managed things fairly? The UN perhaps? Or even the USA. US law forbids discrimination on race, religion, ethnicity, etc....

" So Israeli companies did all that for the USA/EU/RUSSIA/CHINA/sOUTH Africa and so on. But not out of some sense of friendliness but ??." Companies don't usually develop products from a sense of friendliness but for profit. You should read "The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smithstein. I guess, according to your enlightened world outlook, if Microsoft makes a huge profit it's from friendliness, but if a Jewish company does the same there is some other motive? "Because it is profitable" bozo.

at least it is more honest then Iran, whose intentions are more sinister Natalie. Did you go for a walk with Achmendinijad lately?

USA/EU/RUSSIA/CHINA/sOUTH Africa and so on. But not out of some sense of friendliness but ??. "Because it is profitable" bozo.

Stephen A. How do you function shrouded in such ignorance? "Geo-politics, international economics, military affairs"? Aside from the terminology, the essence obviously escapes you. Consumer products, that's what it's all about. Call N A T A L I E and check with her...on your cell phone, of course.

Netanyahu arrives in Washington, with aim of mending U.S. ties? I think that last word is spelling wrong...it should have read, "Mending U.S, LIES.

No John I have not read the Likud Charter (Vile regarding the Palestinians) but I bet there was nothing about Arabs hiding behind a tree and going to kill them.

Your inane remark that"many honest Israeli's want to cease the extermination of the palestinians"gives me brain freeze. My G-d man where do you come off with the arrogance to make such an asinine remark. Israel,if you know anything about the country that is,has always wanted peace but they have no one to make peace with. The palestinians want the death and extermination of Israel. This is what they live and die for.Even before Israel became a state on March 1,'44 the grand mufti of Jerusalem in a radio broadcast to the arab world urged them to "kill the Jews wherever you find them. This pleases G-d,history and religion". As early as 1920 he provoked the palestinian arabs to carry out anti Jewish violence in British mandated palestine which resulted in the massacre at Hebron. You talk about extermination? This creature collaborated with Hitler.You have your victims confused but keep hating Israel it is the popular thing to do today. Just forget about facts and run with the propaganda.

?A strong and secure Israel is vital to our own strategic interests. We know that the forces that threaten Israel also threaten the United States.? Your Secretary of State knows what Israel has done for the USA. Steven I hope that you are in good health and do not taking any generic medications. After all Teva (an Israeli company) is the worlds biggest supplier. If you are STOP taking them now. You do want want to support those pesky uppity nJews.

?A strong and secure Israel is vital to our own strategic interests. We know that the forces that threaten Israel also threaten the United States.? Perhaps we should let the American Secretary of State answer Natallie Dursons question.

The US is and has been on record guaranteeing the safety of Israel. For Israel that is just for starters. It wants the US to acquiesce to all its land grabbing and dispossession of Palestinians from their land, when clearly these policies are detrimental to the US position in the middle east.

Same old lies about how much money the USA gives to Israel including Dursons claim that it is borrowed from China. This weekend there was an AP story published in the States that all you ignoramuses should read. Quote " Unlike other countries the aid is entirely for military spending and at least 2/3 MUST BE SPENT WITH AMERICAN COMPANIES. This means that American weapon makers - Lockheed, Martin, Raytheon, Boeing and others- get a steady stream of work. Israel spends the bulk of its aid on AMERICAN warplanes, jet fuel, munitions and missile defense systems. An overwhelming part of the money cycles back into the American economy." End quote. So Durson and all the other Muslim apologists do you speak for the workers at all those defense plants whose livelihood depends on the Israeli purchases made with American aid money which is just being recycled. Its a pity that your Jew hatred has blinded you all to reality. Of course not one of you is actually interested in facts. Same old lies.

... that however I calculated, there were always more than two who were anathema to any reasonable deal with Obama... ... whatever, all well to you and a kosher Pesach (just for safety sake...)

Do you personnally know Nethanyau. Were you with at the same school. Please matteo write with a poco mas respecto!

Israel doesn't need the USA, Israel needs YHVH and Him alone. Israel, Jerusalem, is the apple of His Eye. America is a doomed country, she has rejected the G-d of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. I'm a Christian and I see this and I love my country and thank G-d for her but she has truned her back on the Almighty One.

I guess that means you don't trust Rabbi Jesus and the rest of his Jewish family and followers like Peter, Paul and co. All Jews. Maybe yoou shold leartn more about your religion and ow it began as a sect of Judaism.

The world had pacience for more than 40 years but is coming to the end so even USA that stoped any action againt Israel for so long, can't bend to this ridiculus situation anymore,finally justice it'll be served.

..Israel allows "the Arab Street to blame Israel and not USA." come on, you can't do better than that... The Mossad killed the Hamas leader in Dubai isan accomplishment for a benefit to the USA. Hamas is not a threat to the USA.. If the Mossad did do that job, it was a very sloppy job.. AGAIN, WHAT HAS ISRAEL DONE THE FOR USA?

Weren't these goodies intended for all humanity or at least those who could utilise such hi-tech advances, namely the (traditionally) wealthy countries such as the US??

THK, are you kidding with yur list of consumer products-- These discussions are usually about geo-politics, international economics and military affairs...and you respond with "instant messenger" Give me a break: AOL is American and the internet came from US Defense Department. N A T A L I E: You are right-- I ask anyone: What Has Israel Done for the USA?

For starters, besides the zillions of products invented, produced, snd used worldwide as a result of worlds no 1 venture capital recipient (eclectic, not all Jews, you idiot) It provides, and allows a free press for its enemies like you, claiming to be from America, to freely express themselves. Not exactly achored into the foundation of states run by your fellow islamists, and why its FREE press draws so many flees like yourself

He agrees to discuss all core issues! He insists that it is the Palestinians who keep raising preconditions! Yet his going in position is that Israel will continue building settlements in East Jerusalem just as if it were Tel Aviv! This despite the fact that the UN and every other nation on earth agrees that Israel is occupying East Jerusalem illegally according to the Geneva Convention. Even the US, who has shamelessly cast 40 vetoes against UN Resolutions condemning Israel's actions over the years, could not in all good conscience veto THIS resolution... it merely chose to abstain from the vote! Netanyahu's words mean NOTHING! Any promises he makes at a peace table will likewise mean NOTHING! And any hope that Palestine walks away with from the peace tables will be destroyed before the door even closes behind them. That is what Israel does, and what they intend forever to do. How the US can continue to support this criminal behaviour is beyond my comprehension!

"What has Israel done FOR America? Anyone?" 2 quick answers come to mind. 1. They took out al-Mahbou, who was no friend of the U.S. (unless he was perhaps a friend of yours) in Dubai. Or don't you believe it was Mossad who did the hit? 2. They allow the "Arab Street" to blame Israel for America's foreign policy aggressions and gaffs. In other words, Arabs can say "The U.S. is only our enemy because it backs Israel. It's not because it wants to control the oil in the ME or control the politics of the region. If only it didn't support Israel, the US would be our friend." This obviously takes a lot of heat off of the US for its expansionist, oil-hungry policies. It also gives American imbeciles like some of the talkbackers here, the opportunity to point their fingers at Israel as a way to excuse their own government of oil-greed fueled aggression and hegemony.

Few things Netanyahu can't get himself to accept - US anger is not over "timing" of construction announcement, AIPAC no longer has access to knobs of US policy like it used to, US is willing to move on to a new ME & world order.

stuff it THK you lie about most and no one uses AOL messenger any way cause the mossad watched it...creating a new cpu chip is different than making one cheap in a squatter colony....and the list of your non sense goes on...yes THK we could give it all back and feel nothing

Dear John did you ever read the Bible? E.g.Zacharia 12

I don't think that the charter of Likud (or of any other party) says that the Jews want to kill all of the Palestinians (while the contrary is true).

Sorry but just because those points make sense to you doesn't mean its the only way to look at it. A lot of people in the US ARE happy about the health care bill. You always make your points sounding like your side is the only side (typical vfrom the right ofcourse). Also, all your points about Jerusalem are driven by ideology not by international law and human rights. If you actually learn very fundamental moral concepts like treating people in the same fairness and rights you wish upon yourself (and your people) then people of the world (with universal values) might take you seriously. Otherwise only your limited social circle will listen to you and repeat after you, as you've done after others before you...

of Israel?

Have you read the likud charter?It is absolutely VILE in regards to the Palestinians.

...Except that Bibi can continue his "friendship" with Obama only if he breaks relations with his other two partners (you know who)... Or vice versa - with them, but without Obama... C'est la vie...

tom watson, smiles on.

-the cell phone -the Pentium MMX chip technology -voice mail -AOL instant messenger -a large scale solar-powered electicity generating plant in Cal. Mojave desert -muscle tissue that is not rejected when implanted in the body -no-radiation, diagnostic instrument for breast cancer -a comp.system for ensuring proper administration of meds. Each year 7000 die in US from treatment mistakes. -ingestible video camera to view cancer and digestive disorders. -a device that directly helps the heart pump blood. WHAT HAS ISRAEL DONE FOR AMERICA?? WANT TO GIVE ANY OF IT BACK, NATALIE???

Unfortunately the world doesn?t realise that the Arabs do not want peace with Israel, they want Israel and they want another Palestinian State next to Jordan, from the River Jordan to the Mediterranean Sea. Israel can never give up and must continue building the eternal undivided Jewish capitol Jerusalem for its future generations.

that the Health legislation is not aimed at Israeli Jews working in the United states. This legislation is aimed at Hispanics and African Americans who will hold the real balance of power at the next and coming elections. In fact SDHD is an irrelevance as he claims to be an Israeli working in the United States and as such he can't vote anyway.

Jeffrey Feltman, the assistant secretary for Near East affairs said... in Israel, the US is pursing a triple track objective. Proximity talks... leading to direct face-to-face negotiations. Improving the security situation for both Israelis and Palestinians... especially in the West Bank. And providing support for Salem Fayyad in creating the infrastructure for a nascent Palestinian State. Mr. Feltman emphasized that it's very important all three objectives are pursued simultaneously. Because an error or a flaw in one objective has the possibility of derailing the other two... and vice versa. Obviously, this will take a delicate balancing act. Let's see if Netanyahu's White House visit... provides the equilibrium needed to finally put this plan to work.

"How is it illegal for Jews to reclaim the properties which Jordan kicked them out of in 1948? They were only gone for 19 years, and it`s illegal for them to live on those properties?" It is not illegal for individuals Jewish or otherwise to reclaim their properties. It IS illegal to include those properties as part of Israel. In a final agreement they MAY be part of Israel but could very well be part of Palestine.

Sorry but just because those points make sense to you doesn't mean its the only way to look at it. A lot of people in the US ARE happy about the health care bill. You always make your points sounding like your side is the only side (typical vfrom the right ofcourse). Also, all your points about Jerusalem are driven by ideology not by international law and human rights. If you actually learn very fundamental moral concepts like treating people in the same fairness and rights you wish upon yourself (and your people) then people of the world (with universal values) might take you seriously.

You always hit it on the head eloquently. Israel has been burdensome to American. Most of the people I know are getting tired of sending all those monies to a country that does not reciprocate , eventhough they are told that their behavior is hurting our national interest, our tropps in the field so on. Their response is that if you disagree with us then you are antisemite and jew basher and the rest of it.

Obama needs to put his foot down on both these issues and I'm sure he will. East Jerusalem WILL be the Pal capital and Netanyahu needs to take that back home and start preparing the Israeli people for that reality. There is no more room for dodging, delaying and dissembling, the US is not going to agree to any variation at all. While Abbas will accept that there will be a limit on refugees returning to Israel, albeit a far higher figure than Olmert tryied on, Israel WILL have to pay compensation to the remainder. They drove them out, they get the bill. Others may help financially but Israel doesn't get to leave the diner without paying its share of the tab. There is a third point. The border will be on the Green Line, with minor adjustments. Israel may get 3 or 4% of Palestine but it will not get the 10%+ Bibi is aiming for. He needs to adjust his targets and prepare the Israeli people to seriously adjust theirs, or the talks are a busted flush.

than he was last week, and with the changing demographics in the United States he has probably secured a second term as well. The best that Netanyahu can hope for is a cordial relationship where the public spat that we have seen played across the newspapers, internet and television will be held behind closed doors in the future. As long as Netanyahu continues to do as he is told. The fact is Obama has got the political power now to do what he wants until November, and there is nothing AIPAC can do about it. The next 8 months are going to be very entertaining.

In the past Alexander Haigh used to say that Israel costs less to America than holding the 6th fleet in the region. Noam Chomsky who is not pro israel remarked that American imperialist interests in the reigion coincide with Israel's. Chomsky understands that whatever America pays to Israel is in America's own foreign policy interests.That is without even coming accross domestic politics. Durson... you should get the truth already. You live in a country that each 6 years starts another war. A country created over the heads of its indigenoues people and built with slaves. Israel is much more moral by the way, but all at all we are in the same boat.

As No. 28, Albrecht Klein said/implied: there is no peace deal with Hamas in its present form. Both Israel and Fatah at least agree on that point already.

netanyahu is a rebel, aipac and adl are just the same. mr obama is waiting for them. he will not be fooled again. mr netanyahu and his jewish lobbies just cannot have it their way all the time. times are changing. they used to say iran defy the international community. now they are saying netanyahu is defying the international community.

Will you also congratulate him if the economy starts shedding even more jobs so that corporate America can pay for the mandatory healthcare foisted upon it? What about the notion of forcing people to purchase a product or fine them 2% of their annual salary? What about people who've never paid into an insurance system demanding that insurance companies suddenly cover them for pre-existing conditions? What about the increased demand of insured taxing the existing supply of medical practitioners? You buy into the three-pronged rhetorical crap about increased quality of care, reduced cost, AND reduced deficit? What about how unpopular this legislation is with the American public and how Obama ignored the will of the people? What about manipulating the system to pass a massive piece of legislation under the guise of it being a budgetary adjustment? What kind of a numbskull are you? Don't answer, I already know.

Have you read the charter of the Hamas from 1988? The Palestinians want a genuine Palestinian state "from the river to the sea". Unless they have achieved this goal, there won't be peace. And Barack "The Unborn" Obama knows this very well.

"The US just accomplished one of Obama`s campaign promises. He is not as weakened as those on the Right might hope. Rather he accomplished something many predicted was impossible and many spent almost $1Billion to defeat (unsuccessfully)." He hasn't accomplished it yet. Watch all the legal challenges which will follow. He pulled a fast one on the U.S. Constitution and on the will of the American people -- for now.

""Strong" Bibi has refused to stop settlements. This is the beginning of the end. Israel has waited, obfuscated, lied and spin for too many years. It was given a country, which the Jews deserved. But, no, it wants more, and that is illegal." How do you figure that Israel, "wants more?" You mean, Israel is protecting the rights of Jews to live on lands they lived on all the way up until 1948? How is it illegal for Jews to reclaim the properties which Jordan kicked them out of in 1948? They were only gone for 19 years, and it's illegal for them to live on those properties?

Palestinians want a state, not peace.

Sorry, but it won't be that dramatic.

he's gonna give it to bibi, he'll say do as i say or else, obama i think has had enough of israel making america look bad. watch out israel, there's a leak in your boat.

For all those ungrateful zionists who started calling Obama a lame duck or a one term President, tell Yorick (Bibi) to start eating crow. As for me I wait for the other shoe to drop. 2010 is your year!

"You must accept, that East Jerusalem will become the capital of a future Palestinian state, and the Palestinians must accept, that not all of their refugees can go back to Israel. Find a way to deliver that message to your people If you don't accept, we will have to significan- tly cut our aid to Israel, and we will recognize a unilaterally declared Palestinian state by the end of next year, it the Palestinian are willing to accept our proposal on refugees...." That is all Barack Obama will have to say to Netanyahu on the Israel/Palestine front, not a single word more, everything else will then be discussed during the negotiations.

Abbas should insist Israel stop ALL illegal settlement construction, not so much as a balcony! Let Abbas tell Obama no talks unless and until Israel conforms to the same International laws every other country is subject to. Let Abbas say publicly that when Israel conforms to the law the PA will immediately start negotiations on an agreement.

... Bibi et al just simply have to appreciate that remarkable achievement in its own glory... they are trying to force upon us all a diaspora mentality...

... greatly empowered Obama, after the passing of his innovative and equalizing health bill, for which he battled steadily and uncompromisingly... mazel tov, Obama, in all your undertakings... all for the good of mankind, especially the down-trodden and the disenfranchized...

One half of what you say I discount the other half is pure rubbish. You know nothing I repeat nothing about Israel,Netanyahu or the Jewish people. As for obama read Caroline Glick in the Jerusalem Post and learn something.

The US just accomplished one of Obama's campaign promises. He is not as weakened as those on the Right might hope. Rather he accomplished something many predicted was impossible and many spent almost $1Billion to defeat (unsuccessfully).

Lebanese army allegedly fired on Israeli war planes flying at medium altitude in Lebanon's sovereign airspace on Sunday. (PressTV News) Will Obama have anything to say to Netanyahu about Israel's overflights into Lebanon? During their meeting will Netanyahu and Obama take a closer look at the political elections in Iraq - Shiite power growing stronger in Iraq (latimes.com 21 March 2010) Elections in Iraq have given opportunity for Sunni Arab Muslim politicians to push for control over oil-rich areas in Northern Iraq. The Kurdish-majority population are sounding a warning, "Beware the Arabs." (New Statesman 21 March 2010) Seems like USrael is just running around in circles... all that invading and occupation... what goes around comes around.

Bibi already let it be known Israel will do whatever it wants to do....

"Strong" Bibi has refused to stop settlements. This is the beginning of the end. Israel has waited, obfuscated, lied and spin for too many years. It was given a country, which the Jews deserved. But, no, it wants more, and that is illegal.The US should cease all further assistance to Israel, as the latter is dangerous for the US; and, no matter how hard it is to swallow, it is the cause of hatred for America around the world. Go home Bibi and take AIPAC with you. It, too, is dangerous for the US.

As obnoxious as BeeBee may be, his wife is 10 times worse.

ever

even if ashkenazi are aryan not semites we could pretend....what the hell you are all pretenting to be jews anyway...its not a jewish state, its a pretenders state or an 'elitist state'...why not make all of the people there a part of you exclusive club? how bout a 'palestine people's flowery state'? has some poetry to it

Netanyahu should make a sincere effort to show Israel is serious about peac. Stop settlement construction in East Jerusalem. Announce no IDF will remain within a new Palestine. Conbtinue negotiations where Olmert and Livni left off. Support the Saudi 2002 plan for peace. So far his efforts have lacked good faith and more likely demonstrate a desire to keep Palestine under the control of Israel. Justice must precede peace. Anything less is just a photo opportunity.

The Obama administration did not spend the last year trying to destroy the government of Israel. It did not use every opportunity to embarrass, humiliate an demean Netanyahu. Obama did not make the personal destruction of Netanyahu a primary goal of his administration as Israel has made the destruction of Obama. It will be very hard to repair anything.

What was the last thing that Israel did for America? Did Israel ever do anything for America? I am not talking about some nebulous, unsubstantiated, and opinionated claim, I am talking about something real. One example of something America does for Israel: America borrows money from China to give to Israel. Billions every year. This is real. What has Israel ever done for America. I know that Israel attacked the USS Liberty, killing many American sailors. Israel set Jonathan Pollard up to spy on America. What has Israel done FOR America? Anyone?

Does anyone remember Bush Sr. saying before a screaming, demanding Congress, "If this bill passes I'll take it to the American People?" What he made clear was that the Congress did not represent the American People. Israel was demanding an additional $10 billion in loan guarantees. Settlement building? Bush Sr. was not re-elected and the Jews got the additional money. Congressmen? I question how they vote, who finances them, and their loyalty to America. For my money they look like bought and paid for whores. Salaam/Shalom

1.The most important question which when answered correctly resolves all other disputes, stalemates, quagmires and deep holes follows. 2.Is the God we trust in the dollar the same as the God of the Jews, the God of the Evangelicals, the God of the Catholics and the God of other religions? Or, is this DIVIDED GOD in fact the illusive devil in disguise? 3.Since we are being considered infidels, big satan, small satan, children of adulterers, etc., we should make it the top priority to identify the true Satan and The One True God. 4.Only one scientific Formula catches the TWO BIG FISH, i.e., satan and the One True God. 5.This Divine Formula comes from a small shepherd boy with the Moshiachs Meal of FIVE LOAVES. 6.Finding the small boy should be also be a top priority.

I mean jewish state is like christian state or muslim state!!! It's not right. Hebrew state is for a reference to a culture or language...

and from there zippy gets to talk to hilary every day about girl stuff while deciding the fate of the world

Palestinians want peace not talks

Many honest Israelis want peace, and to cease extermination of Palestinians. That, however, does not suit the expansionist ego of head-mobster Netanyahu. He would much prefer to forestall dialog with Palestine (over their Own land) by giving a green light to building; and thereby snub Obama; with his "God Given" criminal warfare.
