Would anyone like to interpret this?
U.S. Urges Israel to End Expansion

In blunt comments on the Qatar-based news channel al-Jazeera on Tuesday, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton said: "We want to see a stop to settlement construction, additions, natural growth -- any kind of settlement activity. That is what the president has called for."

"Natural growth" refers to population expansion as a result of births, adoptions and the like -- a position successive Israeli governments have rejected, though it is an Israeli obligation in the 2003 peace plan known as the "road map." The Bush administration accommodated Israeli concerns with a secret understanding that allowed for growth in settlements that Israel hopes to keep in any peace deal with the Palestinians.

Israel Plans to Remove 26 Settlement Outposts in West Bank

Israel appears to be responding to American pressure to curb settlement activity. But implementation could be difficult.

Israel's new right-wing government says it plans to remove 26 illegal settlement outposts in the West Bank.

Israel will defy U.S. calls for halt to settlement growth

JERUSALEM (AP) -- Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Sunday that Israel will continue to build homes in existing West Bank settlements, defying U.S. calls to halt settlement growth.

The comments came days after a contentious visit to the White House and threatened to widen a growing rift with the Obama administration. The U.S. considers the settlements - home to some 280,000 Israelis - obstacles to peace since they are built on captured territory the Palestinians claim for a future state.

We will remove some but all together we are moving forward with expansion?

The request was to halt growth/expansion.

"Israel appears to be responding to American pressure to curb settlement activity."

They are removing outposts, not settlements..

The israelis are playing with fire... obama seems to really want the pal state and he will not bow to AIPAC pressure. American money will stop flowing if the israelis do not obey.

Good to see America standing up for the poor Palestinian People.

Jewish settlers are often as nutty as Hezbollah members.

I'm gonna play it safe and agree with Dilbert.

The USA wont do anything about Israel. They haven't so far.

I don't see them blowing themselves up or strapping bomb belts on their kids...but yes, anyone who practices their religion to the extent that they both do is just a weeeeeeeeeee bit nutty.

Well that's gratitude for the billions of dollars of military and economic aid.... Binyamin Netanyahu needs a bullet between the eyes. We now have the intellectual, pragmatic and peace-loving equivalent of Hamas on the other side of the negotiating table....

Likud may just bite off their nose to spite their face.

Will be interesting to see if Obama follows through.

Im sorry FEOS but first off they're not retarded and second, you know very well what the difference is between the settlers and the Palestinians. It's called desperation.

It's the only reason why sane people agree to die. They're desperate and they have nothing left to lose.

Couldnt have said it better myself..

Why is it so hard for pro israel people to understand what the word "desperation" mean.

Why is it so hard for them to just imagine for a second how it is to be a Palestinian.. To have your land occupied by a FOREIGN force.. to be persecuted and treated like a 3rd class citizen on the land of your ancestors.. To be up against a powerful military blindly supported by the most powerful country on earth..

And btw i think the last palestinian suicide bombing happened 4 years ago.. you all need to find another argument againt the pals.

Basically they have said they won't make new settlements, but won't stop current ones from growing.

Can't possibly understand why Israel needs "charity" from the US anyway ...

Imho this whole thing is no reason for the US to change the status quo with Israel. It would take something a lot more sinister than a bunch of illegal settlements, and since the Israelis know that, nothing will change. Or maybe that's my pesimism speaking.

I thought it was the Iraqis using retarded children.
Using donkeys - which the Israelis have done - is level IMO.

Kids with Down Syndrome aren't mentally retarded? Try again. And maybe try with someone who doesn't have a kid who falls in the MR category.
