Heat turned on Israel over east Jerusalem settlements
(linking not working for some reason)

Despite the criticism, Israel insisted that its "right" to all of Jerusalem was not up for discussion.
That's what I call bargaining in good faith.

If your argument is that those nations are hypocritical colonizer states as well, then hey, I'd have no problem getting a drink with ya.
Lets just not have any illusions here, or wonder why world public opinion (not all frothing Jew-haters) finds Israel's conduct intolerable.

Jerusalem is one city, maintained and within Israel borders. It is not in the West Bank. There are some people that have decided that, for some reason, it belongs to Palestinians, simply due to its proximity to the West Bank. I find that strange. I also find it questionable that Israel isn't allowed to make new apartments to house its residents. Is no one allowed to have children now? Is the population supposed to kill off every new member of the city?
I find it questionable that the whole world is watching Israel's evil "occupation", but no one calls out other countries for the same actions. And those other countries are the ones doing the accusations! Even Jordan has revoked thousands of Palestinian passports, and stripped those living there of their rights. But they're not on the chopping block.
I also found this very helpful:

Continuing to demolish Palestinian homes in East Jersusalem in violation of Israel's commitment to 'the roadmap' is not helpful. I just can't believe that you really agree with your own logic, that Israel has a moral license to do this because there are other border disputes and oppressive conditions in the world. Bringing up Corsica, as strained an analogy as it is, shows how tenuous you think the ground Israel walks on really is. Corsica, Puerto Rico... Gaza?
Like many neighborhoods in Jerusalem, the homes reflect a mixture of architectural styles from the Ottoman era to the present, although the Israeli government contends that these homes have been built "illegally" because they have not been granted permission to be built in the first place, a permission that is next to impossible for Palestinians regardless of whether they have an Israeli residency ID or citizenship. Such is the logic of colonialism and ethnic cleansing in Palestine over the last 61 years. And accordingly, a number of Israeli colonists have been confiscating and taking over homes and buildings to pave the way for the wholesale seizure of Palestinian neighborhoods.
