[quote]The United States has described as "unfortunate" plans by the Israeli government to build 500 new illegal settler homes in East Jerusalem.
The US response came after a panel of the Israeli Interior Ministry gave approval on Monday for the new homes in Ramat Shlomo, a neighbourhood built on West Bank territory captured in the 1967 war and annexed to Jerusalem.[/quote]

Step 1: "Its not helpful"
Step 2: "Incompatible with peace"
Step 3: ?[/QUOTE]
Step 3 turned out to be a limp-wristed "its unfortunate". The US may as well just say they support Israel's actions because I don't know how long they can feign concern over this, nobody can possibly be so spineless.
That's it?
"Hey, Israel, it'd be nice if you stopped that."
"Yeah, what about it?"
*crickets*
cannot say I am surprised though...
The US is only talk these days.
[QUOTE=Medevila;46403492]if that were true I'd say "probably for the best"
it's not true though.. instead, the US is still in Afghanistan and sending "advisors" (troops) back into Iraq

Israel represents the (unfortunate) lone, stable, western-friendly (i.e. not Saudi Arabia) ally in the Middle East, and is just far too important to western hegemony to condemn[/QUOTE]
What harm could condemning them do? USA is pretty much the only western power that will put up with them at this point.
[QUOTE=Sam Za Nemesis;46404121]How can Lamar get away posting anti-Israel news from anti-Israel sources every possibility he cans yet RAYHALO got permabanned as quickly as possible but for doing the same for pro-NK[/QUOTE]
Aljazeera is not comparable to the state news agency of North Korea, which made up the bulk of RAYHALO's sources.

Step 3: Profit!
The State Department was also as quoted as saying "Thats probably not good", when asked about the ISIS situation.
