Hillary Clinton Says Israel Is Breaching The "Road Map"

Reuters reports that U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticised on Wednesday Israeli acion in Arab East Jerusalem as "clearly...unhelpful and not in keeping with the obligations entered into under the 'road map'. It is an issue that we intend to raise with the government of Israel and the government at the municipal level in Jerusalem." Israel has in recent days issued orders for the demolition of homes in East Jerusalem it says were built illegally.

Meanwhile, the Iranian regime urged global Muslim "resistance" against Israel. Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei called on Wednesday for world Muslims to join the Palestinian jihad against the Jews. "The only way to save Palestine is resistance. Support and help to Palestinians is a mandatory duty of all Muslims. I now tell all Muslim brothers and sisters to join forces and break the immunity of the Zionist criminals," Khamenei said. Further, the AP reports that Iran's military chief is warning Israel that its nuclear facilities are within the range of Iranian missiles. The warning came from Iran's Revolutionary Guards commander Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari.

What was Hillary's response to this? Her response was just to accuse Iran of "interference." Maybe she should spend a little less time worrying about East Jerusalem and more time worrying about the Iranian race toward nuclear weapons.
