Really? Calling illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank "illegal" will jeopardize a peace process that the U.S., by refusing to stand up to Israeli intransigence, has silently wrecked for years? Please. Better excuses, less transparent lies.
As the story notes, Israel claims the West Bank allegedly belonged to "nobody" in the 1948-67 period, and therefore isn't currently "occupied."
The lies really aren't unexpected ... since the bipartisan foreign policy establishment simply can't tell the truth on Israel-Palestine issues to save its reputation. (And it may be a matter of life, or closer to it, in the future.)
As for the promises? We've seen just how well the U.S. keeps its promises in the Middle East.
