That look says it all.

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."

Don’t worry, ADL.
Omoslem only gave Hamas ____ million of US taxpayer cash.
I’m sure if you kvetch more, next time he’ll only give Hamas double that amount.
Israel's chickens... they're coming home to roost.
Most Jews voted for obama, so I don’t know why they are shocked. It wasn’t a secret it was a muslim.
Just think how cranky the ADL will get after Omoslem helps Iran acquire nukes, and Iran “accidentally on purpose” lets Hamas steal one to nuke Israel.
Wow, I’ll need earplugs for the kvetching that day.
Meanwhile, 78% of American Jews voted for Omoslem (the “Hamas Candidate”).
I thought Jews were supposed to be intelligent. I was misled.
If they were dispersed around the country I'm sure they'd see things differently.
One would hope. But the ones that live so well in the conservative area that I live in are hell bent to change it..
Nothing is fair...It needs to be more fair...I have known these folks since high school...50 years now.. They are liberal first and Jews last...
It is just not rational
I usually reject "fair" since I don't conform to a wide variety of otherwise popular sectarian outlooks. Doesn't mean I don't have friends across the board, but they know there are beliefs I won't accept and politics that I believe to be abominations to God and man.
As noted earlier, if these guys were relocated around the country ~ dispersed so to speak, just like we did the Vietnamese, they'd see everything differently.
The term “useful idiot” comes to mind.
Make that “useless idiot.”
I am NOT an anti semite. I just see what I see.
You mention abominations to God. Most liberal Jews that I know are also atheists. So that really means nothing to them. They are totally connected to liberalism. And really not open to discussion.
It seems most Liberal Jews think of Israelites like Presbyterians think of Bible believers...huge disconnect and a great deal of contempt.
True!
The NASA Mooslim promoter dis’n Israel. Who would have thunk.
. . . but J Street sides with the administration, thereby again revealing J Street to be the equivalent of kapos for the Left as they hustle Israel and her people toward destruction.
Biden was actually quite reserved and diplomatic about the whole thing. It is Hillary who really put her foot in her mouth. She is so stupid. Remember “Kissing Suha Arafat”? Israelis do. This will help Bibi.
...and 97% of the ninny vote. It's getting tiresome.
Bent Willie set the standard and, lo and behold, the Chicago hoodie managed to lower that, to everyone's surprise.
“It seems most Liberal Jews think of Israelites like Presbyterians think of Bible believers...huge disconnect and a great deal of contempt.”

Nice generalization their pal. I’m a Presbyterian (read: Christian saved by the Blood of Jesus!) and resent this comment! Since you don’t have omniscience, don’t dare tell me or another that we hold the Bible in contempt!
I attend a Presbyterian Church of America (PCA). Our Church teaches that we’re saved by faith alone in Christ, and that we’re justified by faith...NOT works. We also believe the Bible is the inerrant Word of God.
There’s NO “disconnect”, and NO “contempt!”
I think you’re the one displaying contempt towards fellow Christians!
That look says it all.
One of the greatest political shots of all time!
