State Department Does NOT Condemn Israel - Palestinians and SJW's in Utter Shock

Liberals and Pro Palestenian Activists were triggered this morning following the passage last night in the Knesset of the “Regulation Law,”.

The Regulation Law, crafted in response to demolition orders issued by the Supreme Court against the town of Amona in Samaria, will - according to the sponsors of the bill - protect communities over the Green Line from ex post facto claims of ownership on their land by absentee landlords. While towns inside the Green Line already enjoy such protection, many in Judea and Samaria do not, leaving them vulnerable to claimants demanding their demolition, even decades after their establishment with government aid and even if no alleged owner sues to regain the property.

By being passed this past monday, the Regulation Law now technically allows verified owners claiming property rights to be compensated at 125% of the value of the real estate prior to the improvements created by the towns in question - thus preventing the "Expulsion and demolition" practice thus far...

Liberals and progressives were even more infuriated by fact that the US State Department seemed to take a “wait-and-see” approach - while, at the same time, daring to call on Israel’s enemies to withhold hostile action against Israel - can you imagine? Yet, things took an even more interesting turn when in response to the passage of the Law, a State Department official told AFP that the US administration was “withholding comment” in the meantime - which of course was a major break from the Obama administration which would rush to condemn Israel at every turn...

According to the agency:
"The administration needs to have the chance to fully consult with all parties on the way forward," the official said, on condition of anonymity.
"At this point, indications are that this legislation is likely to be reviewed by the relevant Israeli courts, and the Trump administration will withhold comment on the legislation until the relevant court ruling."
In the mean time, the official called on the Palestinians and their supporters not to challenge the law before the international community, claiming such action would be “counterproductive to peace.”
"We are concerned that other actors have said they may seek to challenge this measure in multilateral fora, including at the International Criminal Court," he said.
According to the source, "We continue to strongly oppose actions against Israel at the ICC as counterproductive to the cause of peace."
