The US just can't seem to please everyone

RE: Clinton Meets Netanyahu Amid Effort to Resolve Quarrel

Concerning the construction issue going on between Israel and Palestine, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has basically given the Israelis a gentle slap on the wrist for their unacceptable behavior.
The Israelis are continuing to build on soil which is jointly claimed by Palestine and Israel, which is actually considered illegal according to the International Law. The United States' response has stated that they do not support this building, yet still hold very close ties with Israel, and consider them a close ally. By simply stating that this is wrong, Israel will not, and does not, plan to go off course of the building plan. The United States must either stay out of the situation completely, since there is not much we can do about it anyways, or threaten Israel with something that will actually effect their relations.
