US wants Israel to cancel Jerusalem building plan

By MARK LAVIE, Associated Press Writer Mark Lavie, Associated Press Writer 3 mins ago

JERUSALEM – The Obama administration is demanding that Israel call off a contentious building project in east Jerusalem and make a public gesture toward the Palestinians to help defuse one of the worst U.S.-Israeli feuds in memory, officials on both sides said Monday.

But Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu showed little sign of yielding, saying Jewish construction in east Jerusalem "in no way" hurts Palestinians. A Jerusalem city spokesman suggested Jewish building there would continue.

Announcement of the plan to build 1,600 apartments for Jews in the Ramot Shlomo neighborhood came during Vice President Joe Biden's visit last week, embarrassing him and the Obama administration, angering Palestinians and endangering the start of indirect peace negotiations that are to be mediated by a U.S. envoy.

Adding to tensions was a ceremony Monday in the walled Old City in east Jerusalem, where Jews rededicated an ancient synagogue destroyed after the war that followed Israel's creation in 1948. Israeli police sent in reinforcements to prevent riots. The synagogue is in the Jewish Quarter, but Palestinians still saw the colorful celebration as an affront.

After a weekend of rare broadsides from top U.S. officials, including Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, American demands became clear Monday. The U.S. wants Israel to cancel the construction plan, U.S. and Israeli officials said, speaking on condition of anonymity because no announcement was made.

Never mind who is right and who is wrong, my question is: what are the consequences if Israel disregards the U.S. demands?

''Consequences'' are you kidding me.

Why am I not surprised?
Why is Lewis McKenzie (Maj. General ret.) who did very well in Kosovo a Canadian hero? Because he ignored the UN and did what was right.

Why did General Romeo d'Allaire (who was present at the Rwanda massacre) have a nervous breakdown? Because he did not have the guts to ignore the UN, as Lewis McKenzie did. Which is why I abhor the UN.

A country has the right to defend itself, and I back Israel 100%!
Jerusalem is mentioned in the Bible numerous times.
It is NOT ONCE mentioned in the Koran! Hurray for Benjamin Natanyahu.
Shame on Barack Obozo. Who (in his own words!) is a Muslim!

What does Islam stand for? "Brides" who are under ten years old.
"Honour" killings.
Female genital mutilation.
A woman who is raped needs FOUR MALE witnesses! Otherwise it is HER fault!
The (false) prophet Mohammed was pedophile!
He "consummated" a "marriage" with a 9 year old girl.
If any guy did that to one of my teen age grand daughters, I would try to cut off his testicles with a pair of dull scissors!

Bruce, even YOU can't be THAT STUPID to buy all that stupid Islamic nonsense?

Well, I'm not too impressed with anything that the UN says... about anything.

My question is what will the U.S. do if Israel ignores the demands the Obama administration have made?

I suppose the question is rhetorical, as I'm sure the answer will be nothing. I'm rather surprised that the U.S. even bother to make demands against Israel..... knowing the bluff has been called... for all the world to see.

Do you make this up as you go along, or do you have some sort of mental block.

Mackenzie was in Kosovo under NATO, not the UN.....it was Bill Clinton that ignored the UN and sent in troops under NATO, which included Canada.

D'allaire knew what was going on in Africa and even lost troops because he acted on his own. He begged the UN for more troops but was ignored by the UN Security Council because Madelaine Albright from the USA didn't think D'allaire requests were urgent enough. President Clinton apologized to the Rawandan's two years later.

Isreal has repeatedly ignored every UN Resolution against them because the USA refused to vote against them. Yet the USA illegally invaded Iraq for unproven violations of UN resoltions.
