Arutz Sheva: Report: US planning to take tougher line against Israel

Senior diplomats say upcoming report to 'put Israel on notice' that patience thinning in Obama administration.

The Middle East Quartet, made up of the US, EU, UN, and Russia, is scheduled to release a major policy report later in coming weeks, and senior diplomats involved in its drafting have indicated that the US is taking a far harder line on Israel than in the past.

The report, which is likely to be released in late May or early June, will focus heavily on Israeli construction in Judea, Samaria, and Jerusalem, senior diplomats told AP. The Quartet’s report will also take Israel to task for the demolition of illegal Arab buildings – many of which were built with the support of the European Union.

Finally a news which will enjoy "peaceful people":
We can put Israel on "notice" because they destroy illegal buildings (well, they are illegal), but be very silent on all the attacks, rockets, crimes... from the Palestinians. WE are back in the 30's.

Every Palistinian building is "illegal". Israeli Courts only recognize post '48 Israeli Titles and Deeds, not British Mandade Deeds and Titles, or Ottoman ones.

No Israeli Title or Deed, no building permits, so everything the Arab Israeli's, Beduins or Palistinians built since 1948 are illegal.

Everything they owned prior to 1948, and still "own", in Israeli law is just "squatting".

Bravo! I suggest you learn a little bit of history before and after the event of Mohamed and the way Arabs take the place of the Jews.

You are also silent about the "nice" behavior of the Palestinians.

But I like to read you, even we disagree, because I learn from you too.

The schmuck Obama is always hard on allies and friends and limp with enemies.
