Clinton criticizes Israel over East Jerusalem demolition - Reuters
Reuters reports: "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton criticized Israel Wednesday over plans to demolish Palestinian homes in Arab East Jerusalem and said Washington would engage Israeli leaders on Jewish settlements."

Comment: It always makes me uneasy when the U.S. tries to be impartial and evenhanded in dealing with Israel and the Palestinians. Sadly, I think we are going to see more of this kind of criticism of Israel as Secretary Clinton tries to establish her credentials as an "honest broker" between the two sides.
