Bibi to Obama: I can't halt settlements, because that would be "freezing life."

To be more accurate, Netanyahu said he cannot halt the expansion of existing, legal settlements. He also said this:

Quote:

We will not build new settlements. Our intention is to dismantle illegal outposts.

Tex, define 'legal settlement.'

Ask Netanyahu.

All I've done is balance your characterization of his comments with context.

Legal settlements, as you use the word, merely refer to the settlements that the Israeli govt impose officially.
In truth, they are all illegal. And immoral.

It's like allowing the white South African govt decide which appropriations and townships are 'legal.'

I reject your false rhetoric and your forked tongue. You are dishonest.

Yeah, I figured that's what you were getting at. In other words, you falsely reported on what Netanyahu said.
