You go Israel! It's a good start.

JERUSALEM — Israel laid claim on Sunday to nearly 1,000 acres of West Bank land in a Jewish settlement bloc near Bethlehem — a step that could herald significant Israeli construction in the area — defying Palestinian demands for a halt in settlement expansion.

Peace Now, an Israeli group that opposes the construction of settlements in the West Bank, said that the action on Sunday might be the largest single appropriation of West Bank land in decades and that it could "dramatically change the reality" in the area.

Palestinians aspire to form a state in the lands that Israel conquered in 1967.

Israeli officials said the political directive to expedite a survey of the status of the land came after three Israeli teenagers were kidnapped and killed in June while hitchhiking in that area. In July, the Israeli authorities arrested a Palestinian who was accused of being the prime mover in the kidnapping and killing of the teenagers. The timing of the land appropriation suggested that it was meant as a kind of compensation for the settlers and punishment for the Palestinians.

The land, which is near the small Jewish settlement of Gvaot in the Etzion bloc south of Jerusalem, has now officially been declared "state land," as opposed to land privately owned by Palestinians, clearing the way for the potential approval of Israeli building plans there.

You would think the Palestinians would have learned something for the last time they got there ass kick by Israel.

Skipping around in just the graphics accompanying this story, I noticed how Israeli casualties thus far have been zero and yet they are killing many of these animals every time there's another rocket-attack. And then the Slimes gets all tender-hearted toward the ones shelling civilian targets and housing weapons in schools and hospitals.

Compare that 45-day appeals process to how the muslim animals treat captured muslims who don't follow their version of a savage backward false god. You just don't see Israelis beheading anybody. Even the Slimes would cover that one.

Hell yeah, a thousand acres might not sound like much but I hope Israel ends up getting back the entire area.  The Slimes is just another rag.

After Israel won the Six Day War, they should have treated the Palestinians exactly as the ethnic Germans were treated, in Central Europe after the Second World War. If they had, the wouldn't be having the problems they are now with Gaza - it wouldn't exist. As it is the continued existence of the Palestinian enclaves gives the Arabs, the same excuse the ethnic Russians in Ukraine give Russia. The minute the Israelis found the wouldn't have peace with the Palestinians, they should have given them their walking papers.

I love using the NY Crimes. They think their so called "news stories" will garner a tug of emotion, yank at the heart strings of it's readers, garner sympathy for the enemy.
Not here. :biggrin:

Israel's liberal left thinks the world is going to end now. I support and stand with Israel.

It's difficult for simian, evolution-retarded cro-magnons, to sort out the cause & effect, or the 100 repetitions of same old shit.

I'm not much for the full-on racist evolution nonsense....but these guys in the middle east don't act like they're that far removed from the apes; all they seem to want is an opportunity to gnaw off the noses, ears, and nads of the jews.

And they have no sense of honesty, honor, dignity, logic, or fairness in their pursuits.

Is that sharia & taqquiyah  ?
