U.S.: Israel Settlement Freeze Demand Dropped

President Barack Obama has abandoned attempts to persuade Israel to slow West Bank settlement activity

American officials said the administration has concluded that course won't work

Heh, I feel like we been conned.

Enough Said.

Did anybody not see how IMPORTANT this video is.

There was a con, but maybe not directed to you.

Could be they want to hide it from certain, ahem, Aryans.

The place is being loaded to the gills with guns'n ammo, slowly but surely. This place gettin ready to blow, in my opinion.

Just waitin for an itch, and someone will surly scratch. Maybe the Wailing wall renovation will spark an Intifada(sp?), which in this moment may spark a wider war.

No one is willing to meet in the middle, seems the only way to convince is the tip of a sword. So sad.
