Iroquois territory occupiers tell Jews not to build in Jerusalem
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's press spokesman was asked whether the demand to halt all building (including schools, kindergartens and housing for young couples) in Judea and Samaria included all building in Jerusalem. Ms. Clinton’s press spokesman was asked if President Obama’s demand to halt expansion of “West Bank Jewish communities” included a demand to stop expansion of Jewish neighborhoods in Jerusalem.Heh.
The answer was affirmative. The U.S. State Department demands that Israel limit Jewish growth in these areas of Jerusalem, “whose status remains to be determined” in negotiations.
Israeli Government Press Director Daniel Seamen reacted to this Obama administration statement by saying: “I have to admire the residents of Iroquois territory for assuming that they have a right to determine where Jews should live in Jerusalem.”

I wonder how Secretary Clinton would take it if Israel demanded Americans not build in Washington.
Heh
Assuming Seaman said this, it is about time Israeli spokespeople stopped being so apologetic and grew a pair.
Keep it up. Really. Keep it up.
The US is founded on Indian occupied territory. Many of the territories were obtained by fraud or an expansionist series of wars and conflicts. We fought Mexico for Texas and the southwest. We fought the Indians for most of the country. We fought spaniards for Florida and parts of Georgia.
I have no intention of giving up the land I legally purchased after the conflict had ceased ... one side had given up.
The same principle applies to and within Israel. One side has lost. Continuously arming them, or allowing them to arm themselves is cruel and inhumane. Yet the world does it. Fostering dreams of 'recovering' land that was never theirs in the first place. Providing them food and shelter so that they can spend their money on armaments. And this world that does this, dares to mis-appropriate the word 'civilized' for its actions, and even more to the point, has the audacity to insinuate that its actions and motives are pure in enableing the arming of the terrorists, while those of Jews and Israelis are less than pure when they defend themselves.
We live in occupied Ojibwai territory. To our south, we have Iroquis and Algonquin, to our east Mohican, to our west, the Souix. Would we take kindly to either Chavez arming these tribes against us, or demanding we not build in Chicago, Souix City, Cleveland?
Good job Danny. Good job. Keep it up.
But go on the offensive, and point out this hypocracy. This is the only way to silence these idiots.
interesting blast from the past: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/390206.stm
The US is more hypocritical than merely being occupiers - we occupied land we took without being attacked; Israel has never been the aggressor.
