Israel will move ahead with plans to build thousands of new homes in East Jerusalem, refusing to back down after a United Nations vote last week declared such housing there and in the West Bank illegal under international law.

The vote succeeded after the United States, in a historic break with precedent, abstained.

According to the New York Times, the city will approve the construction of 600 new housing units Wednesday, a first step in what will ultimately amount to 5,600 new Jewish homes in the Arab section of the city.

Build them out of reinforced concrete. With narrow windows.

With lots of greenspace on every side.

What gets me is that Muslims lay claim to Medina, Mecca and Temple Mount. They want East Jerusalem totally and now looks like Western wall.

Muslims now making moves to take over the Vatican as well. They have taken over Spanish churches, cathedrals.

Eight years of stalled building (Bibi’s government trying to “get along with” Obama)..... have led to an extreme housing shortage in Israel (especially for young families). BUILD, BIBI, BUILD...get caught up ... its your land no matter what Obama.Kerry.Soros.Satan might say....
and NO nation on earth deprives its people of needed housing just to kiss up to a foreign enemy like Obama.Kerry...
NO country does this. Bibi, you made a big mistake trying to “get along with” Obama. So sorry to have to say, point out the obvious but there it is. NOW get those building cranes back to WORK!

Just dismantle it and send it to Mecca. Let them deal with it.

Out of immense curiousity, where was that fascinating photo taken?...or is it just metaphorical for the current events taking place?

Obama pushed them into the corner that will require them to stop holding back....he’s trying to start a real war in hopes of them being wiped from the face of the earth......God has different plans (so does Trump).
