Israel wants to build 1600 new settlements in East Jerusalem, they made the announcement as Vice President Biden was paying them a visit--to further embarrass the States and its role in the already dead peace process. Here is the story as reported today
The Arab leaders won't do anything, they will condemn and yell and then quickly forget about it. The Palestinian president does not have much leverage and he has to smile look at his script and say about those settlements "will harm the peace process" acting as if there is a peace process, only fooling himself and only himself.
The current Israel government is not much different than the previous ones, they are only bolder. as all Israeli governments do the same thing grab further Palestinian land. This government however, brags about it, the others would do it quietly.
Can we dissolve the Palestinian Authority already? It's not helping anybody and it is only giving the Israeli government a legitimacy. Yes, many people will lost their salaries and the boraz will hit the fan. I am frankly tired of this Israeli government and their practices.
Also, if the Israelis are hurting for homes and they must build homes...I know in many US towns would love to sell them homes for less. In Detroit for example, you can buy a home for 50 thousand dollars. Plus, most of those settlers are American citizens anyway.
What else does Israel want for the Palestinians? While Israelis continue to assassinate Palestinians violence is non existence, no one if doing Israel harm, no one is blowing up buses or pizzerias anymore.
What do we get for that?The shaft
