Israel has advanced the process of building 942 more settler homes in east Jerusalem under a new fast-track plan to tighten its grip on the territory, which the Palestinians claim as the capital of a future state.
A government planning committee on Monday moved the project to the advanced stage of asking contractors to submit bids to build them, the Interior Ministry said Tuesday. Once a bid is awarded, construction can begin on the project in the Gilo area, though it can take months, if not longer, to reach that point.
An additional 300 units can be built after further planning, said attorney Daniel Seidemann, an expert on Jerusalem construction who sees the building as an obstacle to peacemaking. About 40,000 Israelis live in Gilo.
"With God's help, we will continue to live and build in Jerusalem, which will remain united under Israeli sovereignty," Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said at the campaign launch event of his Likud Party. "We will continue to strengthen the settlements." Israeli elections are set for Jan. 22.

Hahaha, that’s like me claiming part of D.C. as the
capital of the future state of Tet.
An American president with nads would have recognized
Jerusalem as the capital of Israel by now, and moved
our embassy there.
If he had such a pair he’d have nuked Tehran prior to the American election.
Still time to strike Iran, help finish off Syria, and —crush Hamas. Israel must make Jerusalem a Jewish City—Rebuild the Temple!
.....”[Shove it Obama & Hillary & U.N.!]”
Now that’s the part I liked.

There is no such legal or geographic entity as “East Jerusalem”.
Talk show host Tamar Yonah (on Israel National Radio, see her podcast RSS feed!) quips that under the same rules that the media and UN apply to Israel about “occupied settlements”, New York City would be considered an occupied settlement.

Soon, G!d will step in and all this hell from the prince of this world will be over. The birth pangs have increased as has the evil. Pray for peace, prepare for war.
