Our current dust-up with Israel

[finnbow]

What do you gents make of our current dust-up with Israel starting with the Biden/Jersusalem settlement kerfuffle? I think the Administration was well within its right to make an issue of the untimely settlement announcement during Biden's visit.

What unsettles me a bit is that the administration is being criticized by AIPAC and the GOP for reacting as it did to Israel's provocation. Netanyahu comes to Washington and openly criticizes the adminsitration's position and draws a cheer in the halls of congress (and of course at the annual AIPAC meeting). Then official Washington goes into a tizzy when Gen. Petraeus has the nerve to say that the Israel/Palestinian conflict "foments anti-American sentiment due to a perception of U.S. favoritism toward Israel." How dare he state the obvious!
