Senior White House and State Department officials have recently met to discuss the possibility of imposing sanctions on Israel in an effort to stop housing construction projects in eastern Jerusalem, Haaretz reported.
The Israel sanctions discussions are said to have begun after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House in October and clashed with the administration over the construction of a new housing development in that part of the city.
The administration warned Israel that the project would raise questions about Israel's commitment to peace with the Palestinians. Netanyahu replied that Israel does not accept restrictions on where Jews can live, and that Arabs and Jews in the Israeli capital should be allowed to purchase homes wherever they choose.
"The Third World War must be fomented by taking advantage of the differences caused by the "agentur" of the "Illuminati" between the political Zionists and the leaders of Islamic World. The war must be conducted in such a way that Islam (the Moslem Arabic World) and political Zionism (the State of Israel) mutually destroy each other. Meanwhile the other nations, once more divided on this issue will be constrained to fight to the point of complete physical, moral, spiritual and economical exhaustion…We shall unleash the Nihilists and the atheists, and we shall provoke a formidable social cataclysm which in all its horror will show clearly to the nations the effect of absolute atheism, origin of savagery and of the most bloody turmoil. Then everywhere, the citizens, obliged to defend themselves against the world minority of revolutionaries, will exterminate those destroyers of civilization, and the multitude, disillusioned with Christianity, whose deistic spirits will from that moment be without compass or direction, anxious for an ideal, but without knowing where to render its adoration, will receive the true light through the universal manifestation of the pure doctrine of Lucifer, brought finally out in the public view. This manifestation will result from the general reactionary movement which will follow the destruction of Christianity and atheism, both conquered and exterminated at the same time."

I've said before that the key to this whole Israel/ Palestine issue hinges on the settlement building; some of which is questionable. Why doesn't Netanyahu see that?

I don't understand the title of the article... Giving Iran a pass? on what? I seem to remember the US threatening to throw heavy sanctions on them for not complying with them. Since then they've been holding up their end of the deal, so what kind of pass are they getting? The you're actually being diplomatic pass?

Yes Iran is under heavy santions. They could however be lifted if a nuclear is made. I would expect in the next decade Iran will end up in the US/Wests camp. It's popultion has become pro western. In a strategic sense China has no interest in helping them and Russia is more of liability than and ally. Iran has enemies within Iraq and Afganistan, is hostile with the Arab States, is hostile with Israel, is hostile with the US/West. Lots of enemies and not allies with a failing economy is a sure recipe for a change in strategic thinking. And Iran is reaching out in various ways. While the US has been very careful about it response it would be foolish to pass up this opportunity.
