Israel has always said that it will never stop building in Jerusalem and Hillary knows this very well as does everyone who has read anything about Middle East History.

I thought Israel was pretty free. Well to do what they want anyway.

However, it seems Israel's abuse of power may be starting to wain on those that matter.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said: "This disturbing development undermines peace efforts to achieve the two-state solution. In particular, this move contradicts the logic of a reasonable and necessary agreement between the parties on the status of Jerusalem."

When it comes to Israel and the Middle East Peace process the Us Gov is all piss and wind. They want to bake the cake and eat it too. There is no benefit to them in establishing a Palistinian State. If they were serious about stopping Israel building new settlements on occupied land, then step one would be to stop thier multi bllion dollar funding.
