28. What A Misrepresentation Of Facts

Wed Jan 16, 2013, 05:17 PM

Plus, it is a takeaway by Goldberg on comments made by Obama. They are not Obama's words nor are they in relation to security in Gaza as Netanyahu would have us believe with his photo-op visit to that area.

3,000 housing units would be built in areas beyond the Green Line, and zoning and planning for thousands of other units throughout Judea and Samaria would be authorized, including in the controversial project between Jerusalem and Ma’aleh Adumim called E1.

Obama's comments were in regard to the above announcement by Israel on settlement policy going forward, and in particular the E1 project, calling this "counterproductive". Frankly, this trip by Netanyahu is political grandstanding before next weeks election - nothing more, nothing less. As such, I am not sure why DU would even post such a story let alone with such extreme bias. They need to clean up their act.
