‘Perpetual occupation’ — White House slams Israel over new settlement
http://mondoweiss.net/2016/10/perpetual-occupation-settlement
The State Department has issued the
strongest condemnation I can remember of a new Israeli settlement, as a
contradiction of Israel’s own promises not to create settlements, as
“deeply troubling” and “disheartening.” The statement from the State
Department’s Mark Toner reads a bit more like an angry rant than a statement–
with the comments that we just gave you a $38 billion aid package and this is
how you thank us, that the announcement dishonors Shimon Peres’s legacy and that
it show Israel’s determination to cement the “one-state reality of perpetual
occupation.”
About time, you might say. With three months left of
the Obama administration… And no need to raise money from
the Israel lobby.
