Reuters: armchair shrink to the Palestinians

In a story today suggesting that Israel and the Palestinians may be close to resuming peace talks, Allyn Fisher-Ilan of Reuters reports notes divines that:

"Many Palestinians felt humiliated when Obama last month called for Israeli restraint on settlements rather than repeat his call for a freeze."

We wonder if Reuters correspondents can spare us the transparent appeal to pity or similarly share with us, how Israelis likely felt when Obama insisted they not build in their capital.
