This is a news article, published by the [online] newspaper "The Hindu". It connects to what we just started studying about the Arab-Israeli conflict because it discusses the current relations, peace talks, and actions between the US, Israel, and Palestine. It enhances what we've learned by providing a clear example of the current (still existing) issues over land in the US, with the debate over Israel's construction of a big housing settlement in Jerusalem. A limitation faced when using this source is that I read the article on March 22, 2010, but the date at the top of the article says "March 23, 2010", suggesting that the source does not hold much validity for accuracy, or at least creates some confusion. Another limitation is the seemingly anti-Israeli commentary slanting the article through descriptions of Israeli actions such as "seemed timed to embarrass the United States and perhaps to smother the new talks". This is probably do to the pro-arab/hindu nature of a newspaper titled The Hindu.
