The Israeli decision to expand its settlements in the E1 zone (East Jerusalem) has elicited a negative response from many sectors that is especially sharp and highly unusual. In particular, several European nations summoned their Israeli Ambassadors for an explanation of the move. The Palestinians are vowing to bring the matter to the UN Security Council which will bring the matter to a head for the US. The US is on record as opposing the settlement, but would likely veto any Security Council Resolution condemning Israel. The contradiction would be very difficult to explain.
And now: Prepare to have your mind blown (does anyone still say this, or am I just an artifact of a dead age?)
