Just another day in the occupied territories:
"Illegal permits were issued retroactively for a new West Bank project while buildings were being constructed or even completed, according to documents Haaretz has obtained.
"The project is the Modi'in Illit settlement neighbourhood of Matityahu East, which is being built on land belonging to the Palestinian village of Bil'in.
"An eyewitness reported that the illicit construction is proceeding, despite recent instructions from the settlement's planning and construction committee to stop the work."

This is what happens: Israel builds illegal homes on occupied land, Palestinians complain and are ignored, the world offers little or no condemnation (afraid of offending the Zionist state), and the occupation continues to expand. Meanwhile, Ariel Sharon is hailed as a peace-maker.

Well AL
Even though "violet" has an irritating tone she's made some good points.
Reckon it deserves a considered rebuttal.

iolet, you know why no one complains. Because the Syrians, Lebonese, Egyptians and Jordanians don't care. They treat their own people like garbage.
As a civilized nation, Israel is held to a higher standard.
Regardless, how were the permits illegal? Because they were issued retroactively? That happens all of the time in non-nazi civilized nations.
A village owns the land? That means it is public land and the State of Israel can do what it wants with it. Legally of course.
The world is afraid of affending the nation of Israel? Have you ever been to the UN? Are you that stupid?
How many times must addamo prove his ignorance?
1. I dipute the notion that all vocal critics of Israel are using the Palestinian issue to their advantage. - Get real!!! Do you actually believe this bullshit?
2.And why don't YOU question where the $3 billion (7 times $440 million) in aid to Israel goes each year - not including the military aid that goes largely unreported? - Unreported? Where the money goes is pretty much out in the open.
3. It would be difficult to prove that every Palestinian wants to kill the Jews and visa versa> There are POLLS!! EVER HEAR OF THEM??? They prove that the majority of palestinians approve of killing Jews. They don't prove that the majority of Jews approve killing Palestinians.
Every and all. Those are not the terms that are ever meant. The vast majority is what is meant. And you know it.
Sorry about your headache. In most heated arguments when one say "the Arabs" or "the palestinians" or "the Jews", it is understood that "all" is not inferred. But the majority is.
Polls show that the majority of Palestinians agree with violence directed towards Jews, including suicide bombings which target children.
Not all, but who gives a shit about "all" when over 65% do agree? The "all" becomes rather meaningless.
Just as most antisemites do when any Jew dies.
Just as many palestinians dance in the streets when they hear Jewish children were killed.
I didn't dance when Arafat died. I knew it would change nothing. The Palestinian death cult continues without a head.
