Can you imagine if Bibi Netanyahu would tell Obama that he is opposed to Americans building houses in New York City?
Well here we have a clueless President pressuring Israel to stop building in Jerusalem, in their own country.....
Last week, an Israeli planning commission approved 930 new housing units in the Har Homa neighborhood in east Jerusalem. Actual building is at least two years off.
The Obama administration says it is "deeply concerned" by Israeli approval of new housing construction in 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. What Chutzpah!
