Israel is moving forward with a major plan for increased settlements in the West Bank.

An estimated 5,700 new settlement homes, all at various levels of planning, were approved Monday by the government of Prime Minster Benjamin Netanyahu, according to the Associated Press.

“The US is deeply troubled” by the move, State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said, according to the Jerusalem Post.

“The US opposes such unilateral actions that make a two-state solution more difficult to achieve and are an obstacle to peace,” he said.

Hmmm, I thought it to be well steeped in sarcasm.

Sarcasm, the use of remarks that clearly mean the opposite of what they say, made in order to hurt someone's feelings or to criticize something in a humorous way.

Also very difficult to detect in the written form.

Lol, I agree wholeheartedly on that. Facial expression and intonation can leave no doubt. Like the expression, “well bless your heart” and how it can be spoken two different ways with two completely different meanings.

Yeah it's so hard to notice sarcasm, even for a really smart guy like you.
