US State Department officials issued a statement of rebuke to Israel’s newly minted government today, criticizing their planned expansion of settlements in occupied East Jerusalem.
“This is a disappointing development,” noted spokesman Jeff Rathke, saying the US wants to “see a commitment for the two-state solution,” and that the latest construction plans are incompatible with that.
The Ramat Shlomo plan dates back to 2010, when Israel unveiled it during a visit by Vice President Joe Biden. This caused a serious diplomatic row at the time, and the plan is now receiving final approval.
The timing is controversial this time because Prime Minister Netanyahu capped off this year’s reelection campaign by promising massive expansions of settlements in East Jerusalem explicitly to make a two-state solution impossible to reach in the future. Though he has since tried to reassure the US that he didn’t mean it, the policies underpinning this stance are moving forward.
Cut off the welfare to israel if you want to see any movement toward peace.
The right wing already made a second state impossible on any terms with meaning as a sovereign state. That was deliberate. It needs to be acknowledged, and we must move on from there.
What is to be the government of the Palestinians? Are they to be Israelis, helots of Apartheid, or ethnic cleansed?
The Israelis won't have them. The rest of the world including the US won't accept anything other than genuine equal rights as Israelis. The conflict is huge, and unavoidable. Time to face it.
Further talk about two states just allows the Israelis to do as they like behind that smokescreen, with no possible outcome but failure.
Did any on you see…that if lindsy graham were elected potus ..he stated he would have an all jewish cabinet…and this creep claims obama is trash….this creep is just one of the most un-american of congress people out there…they they use to at least hide this subserviance to the jews …they dont anymore…and it is way out of control
"Disappointed," "Restraint," "Right to defend itself," but no one in the region has
that same right.
These designed languages by the Empire means its business as usual.
Just shut up America.
I swear, the US State Department is staffed with complete idiots. Netanyahoo stated, pretty clearly, I thought, there would be no 2-state solution. The only solution they desire is a 1-state Jewish solution that does not include or even consider, non-Jews.
Hey, DOS, take the hint…the Israelis don't give a ratsass about your disappointment – it's only good for a chuckle or two over martinis in Jerusalem.
Exactly – to say. "you are disappointed" is to suggest you expected something different. Only an idiot would have expected the Israelis to have acted differently.
Until it is recognized we are dealing with the ORIGINAL Nazis we get nowhere.
These passages are the foundation of Israel's self written "deed" to the land of Palestine.
If they are not ALL true, then the entire "claim" to Palestine, in the book THEY WROTE, IS NOT TRUE.
Deuteronomy 3:18 and I commanded you at that time, saying, The Lord your God hath given you this land to possess it: ye shall pass over armed before your brethren the children of Israel, all that are meet for the war.
Deuteronomy 7:16, 20:16 “And thou shalt consume all the peoples which the Lord thy God shall deliver unto thee; thine eye shall not pity them…thou shalt save alive nothing that breatheth.”
Deuteronomy 15:6 "For the LORD thy God blesseth thee, as he promised thee: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, but thou shalt not borrow; and thou shalt reign over many nations, but they shall not reign over thee."

It all depends on the rest of the world now that the Israeli emperor has no clothes. The translation from the US is: "Master cover up your nakedness, it is getting hard to explain why you are strolling around letting your freak fly." Right wing governments I've noticed ham up aggression while left wing governments pretend to care about human rights. It is good Israel has a government which is more honest about its intentions. The world can either support those attentions and do nothing, or it can figure out a way to impose peace on all sides of the conflict.
"Wink. wink" The Israeli government knows it's an act, and so does most of the world. Every crime against humanity by the Israeli government is fully supported by the US government, or it would not happen.
Methinks you give the US more power than it deserves. The US may espouse "world leadership" but they are in fact, wimpish, blind followers.
Where has American manhood fled that they take such slaps in the face and still smile?
Let them build! In a few years, Israel will no longer exist and the Palestinians will have all these new, ready made apartments, new roads, etc. Go for it!
We've created a rogue theocracy and don't know what to do with it! We're just disappointed in it's aggressive actions!
The US's declaration that they are "disappointed" is meaningless. It was put out there for the express purpose of misleading and fooling the American sheeple…again.
Where are the sanctions?
