Calling it the “best answer” to a stabbing death in the occupied West Bank, Israeli Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman announced that he has approved the construction of another 400 settlement homes in the area.
The Israeli military reported that 17-year-old Palestinian Ahmad Tareq Youssef Abu Ayyush stabbed and killed Yotam Ovadia. Israeli troops raided the village the teen was from, and has since killed him, detaining several others.
Lieberman’s 400 settler homes are reportedly to be built in the Adam settlement, southeast of the Palestinian city of Ramallah. Settlements in the areas near major Palestinian cities have fueled a lot of anger, and are seen as threatening to prevent a two-state solution.
Anti-settlement NGO Peace Now says in the first year and a half of President Trump’s time in office, Israel has approved 14,454 settlement homes in the West Bank. This is more than three times as many as were approved in the previous 18 month period.
So as well as the thousands of wounded “march of return” Palestinians and the murdered 130 or more by “IDF” forces, this ONE stabbing of an Israeli merits more punishment as well as the killing of the 17 -year-old perpetrator.
The acceptance of this behavior by the “international community” cannot all be blamed on super-zionist (like his predecessors) DJT.
Self-defense is not murder.
Of course not-Palestinians have been trying to defend themselves, without an army, navy, airforce, US WMD for decades, but they are killed in large numbers. The 17 year old was sought out and killed, and all the other earlier victims were killed even if unarmed-that is murder.
The Hamas army is called the Izz ad-Din al-Qassam Brigades. Estimated strength 40,000-50,000.
You would have been against the Warsaw Ghetto uprising and would have called that a war because some of the inhabitants killed a few Nazis.
No. I am not against self-defense.
Just its definition.
Palestinians turned down Bill Clintons peace plan

You’ve posted this several different times and it’s always irrelevant. Until I see the headline that reads: “Heavily armed and fortified IDF soldier beaten to death by ( Fill in the blank.)”, then it will continue to be irrelevant. Apples and watermelon.
Nothing has changed,

Why didnt the Palestinians accept Bill Clinton’s peace plan?(Any of them)
I’ll bet you could find the answer to your question on the website, “If Americans Knew.”
I bet you couldn’t . Anyway if Americans Knew is a hate site

I know Putin has nothing on Prez. Trump, but I surely fear Israel has, muledeer,,are you looking there……………surely your ballz are not that big..
The continual ethnic cleansing is disgusting.
Any excuse. Every excuse.
They would do that with or without a pretext. The Palestinians are doomed. Nobody will help them.
According to World Bank data, for all countries receiving more than $2 billion international aid in 2012, Gaza and the West Bank received a per capita aid budget over double the next largest recipient, at a rate of $495.
End all US foreign aid.
100% [of aid to Israel] will be spent in the US on American products produced by American companies like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc. Now go check out how many US troops are stationed in Israel (hint: the answer is zero (not counting embassy workers, etc.).Now check out US troops stationed in Japan. There are over 40,000 troops there, which costs the US approximately $29 billion per year to maintain that deployment. That’s almost 9 times what Israel gets. US troops in Germany cost around 21 billion per year, South Korea troop deployment costs 16 billion per year, etc.. Yes the aid package is the largest CASH package, but if you calculate all the costs of troop deployments around the world, Israel doesn’t even come close. Also all that money sent to Israel gets reinvested in the US economy. (Plus all other benefits – sharing intelligence, training US troops and police in the most current counter-terrorism methods, co-development of defensive weaponry, etc.)
“100% [of aid to Israel] will be spent in the US on American products produced by American companies like Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, Boeing, etc.”
In other words, aid to Israel is just a giant corporate welfare scam.
No. While it does benefit American companies & their employees & the companies would probably lobby for aid to Israel even if they didn’t care about Israel, it’s not a scam because I think that Congress really does want to help Israel. It’s not welfare because the corporations are actually giving the government products.
” It’s not welfare because the corporations are actually giving the government products.”
OK, so it’s a workfare form of welfare — the usual transfer of wealth from the productive class to the political class.
No it’s not–as the poster noted it’s so Israel has more money for US weapons….the welfare scan is a tertiary benefit.
Exactly. Not just to Israel either. That lions share of this foreign “aid” ends for other countries up in the pockets of crony capitalists (largely in
the MIC) , corrupt dictators and their ilk and such.
This is going to be easy. End all US deployments overseas starting with the Middle East. Nations should defend themselves. But note that a number of those countries pay for the deployed US troops. We should still end it. The US military should not be mercenaries.
As far as Israel goes? That Israel gets less and has no American troops? That’s not an argument. Israel is entitled to nothing based on the US government wasting money elsewhere. That Israel spends the American taxpayers money on American military equipment is a poor argument. The US government subsisting defense contractors via Israel ‘s “aid” ??? If Israel wants to buy elsewhere, go ahead.
As far as sharing intelligence? Like Israel “shared” intelligence on WMD in Iraq. Thanks a lot for that. Is Israel going to pay for that DIS information? Not likely. But we should note that former members of the Knesset have stated that Israeli intelligence was well aware there were no WMD prior to the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. So, again, thanks so much for that.
Israeli cheerleading of US involvement in multiple wars and interventions has done great harm to this country. The American people have been slow to recognize the downside of the US support of Israel. That appears to be ending. True friends of Israel should take note and change Israeli methods that are used to manipulate the US government and population.
Note that I said ending all foreign aid. Interesting that you would respond in this way with (a poor ) defense of the free ride that Israel is getting with a argument that other nations are getting a free ride too.
End all US foreign aid. End all US military deployments overseas.
Same thing when they complain that their brutality is so much more scrutinized than other nation’s brutality.
And then there is the “it was self defense” claim. The teenager was throwing a rock at a soldier with a helmet and so was shot dead. The journalist filming it wad shot dead too. That was self defense also.
I wonder what point you are making. Are the billions spent ON Japan, Germany, S.Korea etc helping them???Ask the PEOPLE, not the leaders, of Germany and Japan-they want the USA OUT, not “helping” them.
WW2 is over- USA keeps troops to have power and influence, not to “help” anyone but, as you say, what is important is the profits made by US weapons makers. It gives or sells, them wherever possible, but not as aid.
$3.8 billion to Yisrael each year….
So, the answer to a crime is to rob Palestinian people who had nothing to do with that crime?
What crime?
I really don’t see any difference between the Old Testament and the Qu’ran; both seem to want the subjagation of all others.
