Olmert Settlement Position Triggers Palestinian Blah Blah Blah

The Palestinians are always warning somebody about something. Egypt had better not defend its border or else. Israel better not conduct archaeological digs in East Jerusalem or else. Olmert's announcement that Israel's policy on settlements would be the same as its always been is the newest cause for outrage:
The statements by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert saying that Israel would continue the settlements construction in east Jerusalem incited vehement repercussion among the Palestinians. Prior to a scheduled meeting between Palestinian and Israeli negotiating teams on Monday, Olmert said at a joint press conference with visiting German Chancellor Angela Merkel that Israel would not stop building homes in East Jerusalem’s neighborhood of Har Homa, calling Har Homa an "inseparable" part of Jerusalem. The statements immediately drew criticism from all Palestinian circles... Khaled called on the Palestinian negotiation team "to take a serious decision and halt all contacts and talks with the Israeli side until the Israeli government stops all its settlement activities and other violations against the Palestinians."
