Netanyahu is a stupid ass hole

“I would like to re-emphasize that united Jerusalem is the capital of the Jewish people and of the State of Israel,” Mr. Netanyahu said. “Our sovereignty over it cannot be challenged; this means — inter alia — that residents of Jerusalem may purchase apartments in all parts of the city.”
Israel captured the eastern part of Jerusalem and the West Bank from Jordan in the 1967 Six-Day war. It annexed East Jerusalem, which contains sites holy to Jews, Christians and Muslims, as well as many Palestinian neighborhoods, and built a series of Jewish neighborhoods in and around it to solidify its claim. It has also built scores of West Bank settlements.

This is not just a direct challenge to Obama and the American administration, it deepens the people-people conflict, increases hatred and suspicions about the future of this region. Not a single Arab or Arab leader will be able to support the giving away of Eastern Jerusalem.
Moreover, I bet millions in the Middle East will be waiting to check Obama's response for this, something that didn't happen at the time of writing this post. The only thing that is in the media, is the Sen.
George Mitchell will be visiting the region this week. We'll see how this goes.
