The end of the WHAT??? The PA is no more interested in making peace with Israel than my dog is to make peace with the squirrels in the backyard.
ALL legal means equates to intifada, rockets, bus bombings, pizzerias blown up...
Launching hundreds and hundreds of rockets into Israel is ho hum, but building houses! Now that’s the last straw!!!
If Israel can connect all the new communities together by filling in these gaps, there could be a Jewish/Christian majority there relatively soon.
Gaza, of course, is a very different story.
"If Israel decides to start building in E1 and approves all the settlements in it, we consider it to be an Israeli decision to end the peace process and the two-state solution, which ends any chance of talking about peace in the future," Erekat told the AFP news agency.
What are they going to do, bomb Israeli busses, pizzerias, etc., or have children blow themselves up amidst a crowd of "infidel sons of pigs and monkeys?" Such a threat is no threat at all, since the Paleoswinians have been conducting a non-stop war since before 1948. The irony is that Paleos were offered a state before 1948 and many times since, and they refused, thinking that they could defeat the IDF and "drive the Jews into the sea."
My response would be to increase the housing permits to 6,000, and to tell them that the next time they issued threats instead of actually trying to negotiate a genuine peace (which includes a COMPLETE halt of all terrorism and rocket launches), the permits would be expanded to 12,000. IOW, "FU Paleos!"
There is something incredibly pathetic and bizarre about this fighting about a pile of sand and rocks. When I saw it on the BBC there wasn’t even a tree.
When will the U.S. prosecute Abbas for his role in the 1973 murder of the U.S. Ambassador to Sudan and his deputy in Khartoum, which was ordered by Yasser Arafat and executed by Black September? Abbas was at the time responsible for “finance” (paying off the terrorists).
