US ambassador to the United Nations, Susan Rice, gave a speech at a conference in Jerusalem organised by Shimon Peres, Israel’s president. Rice basically said two things: Isreal must restart real peace talks for a Palestinian state and that anti-Israel “vitriol” at the UN should end.
Ignoring calls for a Palestinian state, Netanyahu instead latched onto the part he wanted to hear and said he supported the US in it’s criticism of the Goldstone report.
Duh.
We call that “cherry picking” over here.
