"As the United States tries to restart negotiations between Israel and the Palestinian Authority, several U.S. media outlets have begun attacking the Israeli position regarding Judea and Samaria cities like Ariel. Recent reports in the Washington Post, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times and the Christian Science Monitor have suggested that Ariel is not part of the Israeli consensus.
The reports are highly inaccurate, and are based on a misunderstanding of the concept of 'consensus,' says Avi Zimmerman, head of American Friends of Ariel.
'It's important to note that the 'consensus' we refer to is not something that's held by each and every person on planet earth,' he said. Rather, it is 'something recognized by each and every Israeli government proposal' regarding the borders of a potential Arab state in Judea and Samaria."
