The Anti-Defamation League said it was shocked at the Obama administration's "public dressing down" of Israel over its decision during Vice President Joe Biden's weeklong visit to move forward with the construction of 1,600 housing units in East Jerusalem.
The ADL took issue with State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley saying the move "undermined trust and confidence in the peace process, and in America's interests." Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton also called Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Friday to express the administration's displeasure, and the rebuke continued today in an interview with Andrea Mitchell in which Clinton called Israel's actions "insulting."
On Tuesday, Biden had issued a statement saying "the substance and timing of the announcement, particularly with the launching of proximity talks, is precisely the kind of step that undermines the trust we need right now and runs counter to the constructive discussions that I’ve had here in Israel."
"We are shocked and stunned at the Administration's tone and public dressing down of Israel on the issue of future building in Jerusalem," ADL director Abraham Foxman said in a statement. "We cannot remember an instance when such harsh language was directed at a friend and ally of the United States. One can only wonder how far the U.S. is prepared to go in distancing itself from Israel in order to placate the Palestinians in the hope they see it is in their interest to return to the negotiating table."

Ancient tradition for Jews to cater to the King. It supposedly had a lot of survival value.
Foxman missed the part about Mexicans burning Jews at the stake ~ in historic times ~ Obama and his crowd get enough Mexicans into the country he doesn’t have to do anything for Jews ~ NOTHING.
Is there any friend of America that Obama doesn’t hate? Is there any enemy of America he doesn’t love?
Wake up you senile old fool. This ain't FDR's Democrat Party.
Pay attention bitches...vote right next time.
“Obama would get 90% of the Jewish vote tomorrow, regardless.”
One of life’s greatest mysteries...maybe they just don’t think Bammy will let them blow Israel off the map? Or they hope to inherit all of their dead relatives money? Or they are self-loathing Jews? Really, WTH?
And yet a great many Jews voted for Bama...Interesting.
Most American Jews are in a state of rectal defilade, I have no idea what it will take to wake them up!
I guess they never heard of that when a Republican was the "king".
Their god is Liberalism. And when some one is in power that wants to save Israel (read their current leader), it does not seem to matter.
Hey, ADL, you got what you voted to get. Your brain is addled.
Where have they been? Too busy making false accusations...
You dug your grave, Abe, now lie in it.
“Source?”
Dunno...didn’t say it...probly pretty accurate though, no?
This is from Haaretz;

Hey AIPAC....
He’s a MOSLEM.
Got it?
I wonder what Rev. Jeremiah Wright would say......lol
It appears the American diplomatic corps under Hillary has expressed its displeasure with Israeli sense of decorum only to immediately Twitter the Japanese public of Obama’s decision not to attend their invited diplomatic forum.
Sadly, there is a disconnect between American Jews and the state of Israel. Also, many American Jews consider American Christians to be more of a threat than Israel's enemies in the mideast. Sad, but true.
