The Israeli Cabinet has united in favor of the planned approval of several hundred new housing units in West Bank settlements, and has rejected any notion of a full settlement freeze. Officials insist, however, that a ‘compromise’ deal is close with the US.
Deputy Prime Minister and Interior Minister Eli Yishai said that the agreement will only amount to a “strategic pause” during which Israel will not approve any new construction, though work on the thousands of approved units, including those recently announced will be allowed to continue.
Israeli officials say this “pause” will only occur if the nation is given certain incentives, including Arab states allowing Israeli planes access to their airspace and other economic incentives. And while the US reportedly is seeking a pause of one year, officials say it is likely to only be for a few months. East Jerusalem will not be involved in any deal.
Even if Israel gave in and agreed to approve no new settlements for a year, it seems unlikely the actual construction of settlements will be seriously effected, as Israel only built 411 units in the whole first half of 2009, and could likely continue at that pace for quite awhile before running out of already approved construction options.
This is Obama's test. We will soon see if he has the guts to stop the Zionist's 100 year old dream for a greater Israel which includes a much larger area than its present size. If he won't stand up to the Zionists then we can expect the war against the helpless to go on and on and on until Israel is at least two to three times its present size, maybe even larger, and completely Arab free, so to speak.
The irony of all this is that when this happens Israel will also be free of Judaism, for their actions certainly are not that of Judaism now.
The Zionist often claim that they are behaving no differently than the Americans did in clearing their Native people off the land. They are of course correct in saying this, however, they should look at the cruel path of conquest it has taken America since that time and where it is now and where it is going.
if europeans are entitled to move to north america and exterminate the natives, they are also entitled to move to palestine and exterminate the natives.
what's the problem, here?
two wrongs make a right, might makes right, and besides all that, non-europeans are subhuman.
there.
i hope that's settled.
