Power Line has written about the Obama administration's latest attack on Israel for building in its own capital:
That said, there has been criticism emerging of the Obama administration for its ludicrous actions, even by the ADL, of all sources. And, as reported here, at least two members of Congress have added their voices to those appalled by Obama's overreaction:
Frankly, I'm not sure Israel should have apologized either. Doing so emboldens the administration to become more aggressive. On the other hand, Netanyahu understandably feels the need to come across as reasonable and conciliatory. That way, if the White House continues to overreact, Israel will be seen by its citizens and its supporters in the U.S. as more sinned against than sinning in this matter.Well no, of course the government shouldn't apologize, even if they think it can help the way Paul puts it.
That said, there has been criticism emerging of the Obama administration for its ludicrous actions, even by the ADL, of all sources. And, as reported here, at least two members of Congress have added their voices to those appalled by Obama's overreaction:
Congresswoman Shelley Berkley (D-Nev.) said that the tough American criticism of Israel’s Jerusalem housing announcement was an "irresponsible overreaction," and a spokesman for Congressman John Boehner (R-Ohio), the House of Representatives minority leader, said that "the tone and substance we are seeing emerge as a pattern for this administration [regarding Israel] are both disappointing and of great concern."Spot on. I should hope then that the House will call to convene a discussion on this?
