Rice Welcomes Israel's Decision To Cave On East Jerusalem. Well Fuck.
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Thursday welcomed Israel's decision to drop plans to construct a new neighborhood in the Atarot section of East Jerusalem, the AFP reported on Friday. "I think it's a good step," Rice said after a Housing Ministry official said that plans for the project had been dropped. Housing Minister Ze'ev Boim had given the green light for the plan, despite the fact that senior American officials say Israel had promised not to move forward with the project. Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office distanced itself Wednesday from a Housing Ministry decision to begin planning a new Jewish neighborhood in area.
We quit.
UPDATE: No, we're not really quitting. It's a generic expression of exasperation. Your emails are very touching though.
