After Israel Publicly Humiliates the United States, the Anti-Defamation League Attacks the Obama Administration

Last week, Jerusalem gave Washington the finger by announcing the construction of new settlements, timed for maximum humiliation of Vice President Biden. The Vice President was furious, and, as Spencer notes, told the Israelis they were endangering American troops. So beyond the pale was the Israelis action that the Secretary of State called it "insulting."

But for the ADL, it's the Obama administration that's the problem.

"We are shocked and stunned at the Administration's tone and public dressing down of Israel on the issue of future building in Jerusalem," ADL director Abraham Foxman said in a statement. "We cannot remember an instance when such harsh language was directed at a friend and ally of the United States."
