Reports: Obama Mulling Sanctions on Israel
The Obama administration is refusing to discuss reports that emerged early Thursday claiming that the White House is considering imposing sanctions on Israel for continuing construction on Jewish homes in Jerusalem.

State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf dodged several questions on Thursday when confronted with reports that the administration had held secret internal meetings to discuss taking action against Israel for its ongoing building in East Jerusalem.

The classified meetings were reportedly held several weeks ago and included officials from both the State Department and White House, according to the Israeli daily Ha’aretz, which first reported on the meetings.

The possibility of sanctioning Israel for its ongoing construction sends a signal that the Obama administration is willing to go further in its denunciations of Israel then any previous White House.

Ummmm... isn't this kinda like Canada (an ally) sanctioning the US for building homes in New York (i.e. it's largest city)? Or will the sanctions read "for continuing to build Jewish homes in Al-Quds"?

Israel claims Jerusalem is their capitol city, the US considers Tel Aviv to be their capitol. IIRC.

That's why I used NYC as my example. I was tempted to say DC

Israel should expand and build all the way to the Egyptian border.

The Palestinians would be better off too.
