The Israeli Cabinet voted today to approve a large amount of additional funding for settlements in the West Bank. Though an exact dollar amount was not available, spokesmen said it would be several millions of dollars.
The funding will only be provided to a portion of the settlements, with a large amount reportedly planned for isolated settlements. Defense Minister Ehud Barak publicly ignored the deal.
“There are a number of small settlements that are routinely a source of extreme behavior,” Barak said. Late last week settlers from one of the isolated settlements attacked a nearby mosque, burning copies of the Qu’ran.
The Israeli government’s 10 month settlement “freeze” has been met with growing outrage among the settlements, and increasing promises of support from the government aimed at placating the key constituency.
The U.S. should stop giving Israel 3 billion dollars a year in "foreign aid".
This money provided by the American Taxpayer whilst President Obama pays "lip-service"to peace in the Middle East providing war funds to Isreal to further trample the Palestinian People.
Peace will only be achieved when the Arab World finally wakes up to what is being done and provides the Palestinian People with the arms to fight back against this injustice.
FREEDOM is not something for only a few but for EVERONE..
IF and when the US citizens demand that their Government cease ALL aid to Israel – then perhaps the Zionist racist Nazi regime in Israel will actually try to act like a responsible nation and will bring peace to the Middle East. Sadly, TRAITOROUS organizations like AIPAC have such a stranglehold on the Congress – that is NOT likely to happen. And there are the Zionist-Christian ministers who support Israel and the Jews as supposedly 'god's chosen people.' Interestingly, the Zionist Jews refer to themselves as "the Master Race" and they still hate Jesus and seek to destroy Christianity. And the question remains – do the Jews in Israel really have any relationship to the Israelites of the Old Testament? – do they?
