Rice smacked down - Israel to do what it wants

On Friday increasingly irrelevant US Secretary of State Conocoleezza Rice had suggested to the Israeli government that its plans to build over 300 new homes in occupied East Jerusalem might not help the peace process along.

In response Israel's Housing Minister Ze'ev has told Ms. Rice to shut the fuck up and go away. (Note: this is my own unorthodox translation of the Hebrew.)

I thought that the US was supposed to be the senior partner in this relationship.
