Rejecting Obama, U.S. Jews push West Bank settlement (Reuters)

A group of Jews visiting from North America, including New York Assemblyman Dov Hikind (7th L), attend a cornerstone laying ceremony for a new Jewish neighbourhood at an enclave near the Arab East Jerusalem neighbourhood of Jabal Mukaber November 18, 2009. Hikind plans to buy a home on occupied land overlooking the Old City of Jerusalem and says it is outrageous that President Barack Obama would challenge a Jews right to build there. REUTERS/Darren WhitesideReuters - President Barack Obama may be telling Israelis that building settlements round Jerusalem risks dangerously fuelling Palestinian anger, but some of his fellow Democrats brought the opposite message to the city on Wednesday.
