CXC3000 Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 'Peace' (Israeli-style) ---------- An Israeli government committee approved Thursday the construction of more than 1,500 settler homes in East Jerusalem, as Israel’s prime minister prepared to leave for talks in Washington. A spokeswoman for the Ir Amim non-governmental organization, which calls for Palestinians and Israelis to share Jerusalem, confirmed that the Interior Ministry planning committee gave final approval for the project. The decision authorized construction of 620 homes in the settlement neighborhood of Pisgat Zeev, and another 900 in a second settlement neighborhood, Har Homa. The committee hearing took place just hours before Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to fly to Washington, where he is to meet U.S. President Barack Obama in the White House Friday and make a keynote address to both houses of Congress next week. Israeli lobby group Peace Now deplored the timing and content of the Interior Ministry’s decision. http://www.dailystar.com.lb/News/Middle-East/2011/May-20/Israel-approves-1500-settler-homes-in-East-Jerusalem-NGO.ashx#axzz1Mt2h4qsI Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

upinwath Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Obama has called for the 1967 borders to be re-established. This is a simple "Sod off" massage proving they're not worth talking to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
upinwath Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Cool how much are the houses? Without US support they'll be worth sod all and US support is getting less clear as the Arab spring changes the political landscape. That means oil and America's need for it will control foreign policy towards Israel. Now, if the Arabs are clever, they'll force the terrorist state of Israel back with a shot being fired.

callippo Posted May 20, 2011 Share Posted May 20, 2011 Obama has called for the 1967 borders to be re-established. oh no he hasn't. Obama hasn't said that at all, only that final status will be 'based' on the 1967 lines, which were are not any kind of 'border' at all anyway as Obama well knows. They're just the armistice lines where the fighting stopped in 1948. UNSCR 242 recognised by the PLO, Egypt and Jordan stipulates that final status talks will determine where any future border will be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't think a political discussion about houses in Jerusalem could be twisted into "annoying immigrants or aid to other country" vitriol ravings.

They may be but there is a real possibility of a major war. A pile of rubble isn't worth a flying crap. Of course the comment about the houses was made by an idiot racist with his own agenda.

I stand corrected there. I seem to be apologising a lot lately, very weird. I really thought you were heading down the immigrant bashing route. Aid to other countries is surely what marks us out as a caring and advanced nation? I am proud of the contribution this country makes but I see your point about fixing up where you live before you start repairing the neighbours fence.
