CHUTZPAH
(from Haaretz)
DUBLIN - Israel told the European Union on Thursday it would lose its role as a mediator if it "takes the side of the Palestinians" in Middle East peace talks, officials and diplomats said.

..."The message was: 'If you take a one-sided approach you'll lose your role as a mediator,'" the Israeli official said.

Hmm, a one sided approach...like this?

In other news, the New York Times reports that Israel's Housing Authority has been illegally funding continued settlement activity. Would it be one-sided of me to suggest that continued settlement activity is inconsistent with Israel's security interests, in addition to being, you know, illegal?
