Sure hope it’s true and not a trick.

Trust but verify, anyone?

Mark my words, if this happens it will only happen because it’s a bargaining chip in getting something/everything else.

It's not a troll -- the referenced article is legitimate.

Whether it is true or not remains to be seen. Anyone know the track record of Haaretz?

The only reason I could see this happening is that Obama is more valuable to them than the mosque. Because of his statements Obama and his Democrat cohorts were going to be impaled on this issue. By moving the mosque they remove the issue, and save Obama and the Dems.

That being said I will believe it when I see it.

Hot Air says nobody else is reporting this. Take it with a grain of salt.

If true, someone in the Whitehouse must have called them and asked them to “please, pretty please, back off for the time being”, to take pressure off of Zero.

From the article:

Another factor in the apparent climbdown is a lack of funds to pay for construction of the center, estimated to cost a hundred million dollars. Backers hope moving it will lead to a wave of support, accompanied by cash donations.

So, since they can't afford it they will stop raping our fallen as an offer of "sensitivity" to our 9/11 families.

How utterly kind of them. And consistent.

Unless of course this is a false article to help raise funds and cool the opposition's jets.

I do. It is hurting the Crats. They do not want their allies to go down. Makes perfect sense.

I was sort of hoping for a mosque right on top of the ruins as a reminder of who did it.
