First off, I can't remember the last thing that a total of 76 U.S. Senators agreed upon, let alone put their signatures too but apparently, the American people aren't the only ones out there that think it's a travesty, this position that Hillary Clinton and Barack Hussein Obama have taken in regards to the nation of Israel. This is a communication meant to do one thing - bitch slap the Secretary of State and the President and remind them there will be no tolerance for damaging the relationship with one of our biggest and longest term allies.
I would rather have seen them pass a censorship bill regarding Obama's behavior but this will suffice at the moment. Part of the letter is here from the New York Daily News:
Now, that's pretty tame language but in terms of "Washington speak" - this basically says, "You're treading on thin ice assholes - you better clean up your threats to the Israelis, but quick."
I applaud the Senators for taking a stand. Obama has revealed his true intentions of supporting islamists and terrorists across the world and his ambition to not only abandon Israel but work to hamper its efforts to defend herself. This is a disgusting individual that America put into the White House.

“We write to urge you to do everything possible to ensure that the recent tensions between the U.S. and Israeli administrations over the untimely announcement of future housing construction in East Jerusalem do not derail Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations or harm U.S.-Israel relations,” the letter says.
“We also urge you to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds that tie the United States and Israel together and to diligently work to defuse current tensions,” it continues. “The Israeli and U.S. governments will undoubtedly, at times, disagree over policy decisions. But disagreements should not adversely affect our mutual interests.”

76 Senators Sign Israel Letter
More than 300 House members already signed a letter reaffirming America’s close relationship with Israel — in spite of the recent tensions with the Obama administration over settlements. Now 76 senators have followed suit.
Organized by AIPAC, the letter to Secretary of State Clinton can be seen as chiding the Obama administration over the flare up that erupted when Israel announced new construction in East Jerusalem, even as Vice President Biden was visiting. But it also admits that announcement was “untimely.”
The letter is broadly bipartisan, signed by 37 Republicans.
“We write to urge you to do everything possible to ensure that the recent tensions between the U.S. and Israeli administrations over the untimely announcement of future housing construction in East Jerusalem do not derail Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations or harm U.S.-Israel relations,” the letter says.
“We also urge you to reaffirm the unbreakable bonds that tie the United States and Israel together and to diligently work to defuse current tensions,” it continues. “The Israeli and U.S. governments will undoubtedly, at times, disagree over policy decisions. But disagreements should not adversely affect our mutual interests.”
“We recognize that our government and the Government of Israel will not always agree on particular issues in the peace process,” it says in perhaps the strongest rebuke of the jabs that went back and forth around Biden’s visit. “But such differences are best resolved amicably and in a manner that befits longstanding strategic allies.”
Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Chuck Schumer are among the signatories,
