so directed his ire at Hamas' rival, Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas, for not speaking out. "This weekend the leader of Hamas, sitting next to the Hamas leader of Gaza, a man who praised Osama Bin Laden, this weekend openly called for the destruction of Israel. Where was the outrage? Where were the U.N. resolutions? Where was President Abbas?" Netanyahu said. "Why weren't Palestinian diplomats summoned to European and other capitals to explain why the PA president not only refused to condemn this but actually declared his intention to unite with Hamas. There was nothing, there was silence and it was deafening silence," he added. Netanyahu has long complained that the world unfairly singles out Israel for criticism. In Monday's address, he accused the United Nations of passing an unbalanced resolution that supported Palestinian independence but did not address Israeli security concerns. The U.N. resolution recognized a Palestinian state in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and east Jerusalem, territories captured by Israel in the 1967 Mideast war. Just eight countries sided with Israel in opposing the vote. Although it does not end Israel's occupation of the West Bank and east Jerusalem, http://www.tomsoutletsalecheap.com - cheap toms shoes , the resolution gave an international endorsement to the Palestinian position on the borders between Israel and a future Palestine, http://www.cheaptomsshoessalei.com - toms outlet . It also amounted to a broad condemnation of Israeli settlements in the two areas. Israel withdrew its troops and settlers from Gaza in 2005. Netanyahu, who rejects a return to Israel's 1967 lines, responded to the U.N. resolution with plans to build thousands of new homes in the West Bank and east Jerusalem. The most contentious plan is to develop a corridor linking east Jerusalem and Maaleh Adumim, one of the largest Jewish settlements in the West Bank. The Palestinians say this project, http://www.yuanlimazu.com/viewthread.php?tid=390819&extra= - http://www.yuanlimazu.com/viewthread.php?tid=390819&extra= , known as E1, would deal a death blow to any hopes for peace since it would separate the West Bank from east Jerusalem, http://www.0478jhs.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=395880 - http://www.0478jhs.com/bbs/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=395880 , http://www.cheaptomsshoessalei.com - cheaptomsshoessalei.com , their hoped-for capital, and drive a deep wedge between the northern and southern parts of the West Bank by creating a string of settlements jutting nearly halfway across the West Bank. Israeli officials say construction on the E1 project is years away. But the country has come under fierce criticism by its closest allies, the U.S. and major countries in Western Europe, http://softouchgirls.com/blogs/entry/cheaptomsshoessalei-com-rewritten-or-redistributed-An-insider-s-guide-to-politics-and-policy - http://softouchgirls.com/blogs/entry/cheaptomsshoessalei-com-rewritten-or-redistributed-An-insider-s-guide-to-politics-and-policy . Last week, a string of Israeli ambassadors were summoned for official reprimand in European capitals, and on Monday, EU foreign ministers gathered in Brussels to discuss a response to the plan. Sweden's foreign minister, Carl Bildt, said the Israeli construction plans have caused "extreme concern" in the 27-nation EU. "What the Israelis did on E1 has shifted opinions in Europe," Bildt said as he arrived for the meeting. "I don't think the Israelis are aware of this." The Palestinians say they turned to the U.N. in frustration after a four-year freeze in peace efforts under Netanyahu. The Palestinians say they will not resume talks unless Netanyahu halts settlement construction and accepts the 1967 lines as the basis for talks. An insider's gui
