Netanyahu Strikes Defiant Tone Before Meeting U.S. Envoy

What're you going to do, President Obama, Let the ASS**** thumb his nose in the air at you hmmmm?

The world is watching and waiting!!!!!

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday rejected U.S. calls to freeze all settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem, angering Palestinians and putting a New York summit in question.
Netanyahu's announcement came on the eve of a crucial meeting with President Barack Obama's Mideast envoy, George Mitchell, who is trying to arrange an Israeli-Palestinian summit on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly session next week.
In a statement late Monday, Netanyahu's office said no meeting to restart peace talks has been set but that he would move up his departure to New York, set for a week from Wednesday, if that were necessary to enable one to take place.
A tough line from both Israel and the Palestinians, combined with a Saudi refusal to make new conciliatory gestures to the Jewish state, could further complicate U.S. efforts to forge a comprehensive regional peace.
Seeking to jump-start peace efforts, Mitchell has been pressing Israel to halt its construction of homes in the West Bank and east Jerusalem.
The Palestinians claim both areas, captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war, and say the settlements make it increasingly difficult for them to realize their goal of establishing an independent state.
Netanyahu told parliament's powerful foreign affairs and defense committee on Monday that Israel would consider suspending new plans to build in the West Bank for a limited time only, according to a meeting participant.
Netanyahu said Israel will continue to build some 3,000 apartments already begun, trying to strike a balance between Israel's desire to resume talks with the Palestinians while also enabling "normal life" to continue in the settlements.
