Robert talks with Hirsh Goodman, editor-in-chief of the Jerusalem Report, about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's defiant statement today that Jewish settlements will continue to grow. Netanyahu said this while visiting Ariel, a large settlement on the West Bank, also pledging that no settlement would be uprooted to satisfy Arab demands. Goodman says the Prime Minister is placating right-wing voters who were instrumental in getting him elected earlier this year.
