In the single largest such move in many years, the Israeli Defense Ministry has unilaterally seized nearly an entire square kilometer of privately owned farmland in the occupied West Bank, declaring it all henceforth “state land.”
The territory encompasses the area around the illegal settler outpost of Netiv Ha’avot, and the seizure is believed to be a move toward retroactive legalization of the outpost under Israeli law. The outpost, as with all settlements in the West Bank, remain illegal under international law.
Palestinians slammed the move as part of a “frantic escalation” of settlement activity as the peace process collapses. The Israeli government would say only that the villagers were informed of the seizure of their land last week, and would be allowed to appeal in Israeli courts.
Netiv Ha’avot amounts to 10 families and 9 permanent buildings, according to Peace Now. Others estimated as many as 50 families. The seizure could mean the construction of a full-scale settlement town in the area, linking it with neighboring settlements.
The only language that Israel will ever understand is for USG-EU and rest of the world to get serious and move toward a total isolation-boycotting of Israel.
No Western condemnation of this annexation of Palestinian Land by the great Western Powers of DEMOCRACY and HUMAN RIGHTS.
Its allright for Isreal to seize land BY FORCE — But not for Russia to annex Criemea – EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE INVITED TO DO SO BY THE LOCAL POPULATION.
WHAT HYPOCRITES THE USA AND EU HAVE PROVED THEMSELVES TO BE.
no. but they are sure running the story about the "white supremacist" accused of killing the 3 Christians at that Jewish center. Strange how that happened right after the FBI removed the Southern Poverty Law Center and ADL from it's list of groups it "works closely with". Shot by a 73 year old who has in the past Testified against guys in his own crowd. He was also in Special Forces in the military and has ran for Congress.
Another strange fact: the media is making a big deal (in a couple pieces I read) that he is a Ron Paul fan.
Comments on these articles in mainstream are very telling when many are praising the SPLC.
With respect to Frazier Glenn Miller, there's no need for the scare quotes around the term white supremacist with respect to him. That's what he is, and he's proud of it — or at least he has previously openly claimed in his autobiography (which I have read), and in debates I had with him close to a decade ago on his web site forum, and in candidate statements he made when he was attempting to get the Libertarian Party of Missouri (I was on that organization's executive committee at the time) to give him its ballot slot for Congress.
While it's true that the SPLC is a very partisan and not always very reliable source, in this case they happen to have correctly categorized him.
Meanwhile 50,000,000 mouth-breathing Americans speculate, "Is this whar Jesus is gonna land?"
Andron is correct. Moreover, when the U.S. allows this and so much else like it, to happen, and says and does nothing to stop it, or even just try to stop it, there is no one anywhere in the world who will be able to, or should, trust the U.S. at its word when it speaks of 'human rights', or trust it to observe international law and prevent its allies or proxies from violating it. Furthermore, anyone who thinks the Russian people don't see or know what is happening in Palestine or Syria or Iraq and understand the implications or America's actions (or its failure to act when it should), then they are blind. This is why our nation’s name in the world is mud, even if the Administration is still able to bully foreign governments to do its bidding.
As for John Kerry and Samantha Power, while they are apparachiks, they must bear responsibility for helping facilitate it, lying so brazenly about it in the UN and to the world. Ultimately, it is Congress, and the Israeli Lobby that buys off our legislators and is a foreign cancer in our body politic, and the President who dances around it to salvage that limited part of his agenda that has any value, that must bear responsibility.
Ya'alon has said that his goal is to confiscate all the Palestinian land to make a single contiguous Israel.
The State of Palestine should go to the UN and declare the recognition of the Jewish State of Israel, but within the 1948 boundaries as set up by the UN Charter. They should then request the Israelis depart from all Palestinian land outside those boundaries. Next they should denounce Israel in the ICC for invading and occupying that territory. Palestine needs to change the rules of the game, open people´s minds to the possibility of new boundaries (why less and less land as Israelis expand settlements, when they can legally claim more land), and generally piss off the Israel and USA in the act.
I notice this happens around the time of the Bundy & Barrie (Andy and Ceil Barrie) federal landgrabs, and the media-corrupted memory of Crimea is still fresh. Mass Psychology? Israeli influence on the Feds?
