West Bank
"A Segregated Road in an Already Divided Land" by STEVEN ERLANGER
JERUSALEM, Aug. 10 — Israel is constructing a road through the West Bank, east of Jerusalem, that will allow both Israelis and Palestinians to travel along it — separately.
There are two pairs of lanes, one for each tribe, separated by a tall wall of concrete patterned to look like Jerusalem stones, an effort at beautification indicating that the road is meant to be permanent. The Israeli side has various exits; the Palestinian side has few.
The point of the road, according to those who planned it under former Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, is to permit Israel to build more settlements around East Jerusalem, cutting the city off from the West Bank, but allowing Palestinians to travel unimpeded north and south through Israeli-held land.
Shaul Arieli, a reserve colonel in the army who participated in the 2000 Camp David negotiations and specializes in maps:
“The Americans demanded from Sharon contiguity for a Palestinian state. This road was Sharon’s answer, to build a road for Palestinians between Ramallah and Bethlehem but not to Jerusalem. This was how to connect the West Bank while keeping Jerusalem united and not giving Palestinians any blanket permission to enter East Jerusalem.”
Mr. Sharon talked of “transportational contiguity” for Palestinians in a future Palestinian state, meaning that although Israeli settlements would jut into the area, Palestinian cars on the road would pass unimpeded through Israeli-controlled territory and even cross through areas enclosed by the Israeli separation barrier.
The vast majority of Palestinians, unlike Israeli settlers, will not be able to exit in areas surrounded by the barrier or travel into Jerusalem, even into the eastern part of the city, which Israel took over in 1967.
The road does that by having Palestinian traffic continue through underpasses and over bridges, while Israeli traffic will have interchanges allowing turns onto access roads. Palestinians with Israeli identity cards or special permits for Jerusalem will be able to use the Israeli side of the road.
[If this ISN'T APARTHEID, then YOU TELL ME what the stinkfuck fucking NaZionists are doing!]
The government of Prime Minister Ehud Olmert... like Mr. Sharon, has said that Israel intends to keep the land to the east of Jerusalem.
[Yup, they fucking shitter NaZionists just keep STEALING LAND!!
No wonder EVERYBODY HATES the fucking NaZionist shitstink state.
I won't cry when it's gone. I'll CHEER!]
To Daniel Seidemann, a lawyer who advises an Israeli advocacy group called Ir Amim, which works for Israeli-Palestinian cooperation in Jerusalem, the road suggests an ominous map of the future. It is one in which Israel keeps nearly all of East Jerusalem and a ring of Israeli settlements surrounding it, providing a cordon of Israelis between largely Arab East Jerusalem and the rest of the West Bank, which will become part of a future Palestinian state.
[Yup, gonna STEAL LAND while the fucking NaZionist shitters LIE about wanting PEACE!
What a fucking tribe they are! No wonder everyone is sick of these LYING FUCKS!]
The road will allow Israeli settlers living in the north, near Ramallah, to move quickly into Jerusalem, protected from the Palestinians who surround them. It also helps ensure that the large settlement of Maale Adumim — a suburb of 32,000 people east of Jerusalem, where most of its residents work — will remain under Israeli control, along with the currently empty area of 4.6 square miles known as E1, between Maale Adumim and Jerusalem, which Israel also intends to keep.
[It's called STEALING LAND, folks, and it is why the Palestinians are hopping mad!
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL, reader, if the shitstink state STOLE YOUR LAND?
Amurkns probably wouldn't care: Already happily sending their sons and daughters to DIE in IRAQ for ISRAEL!]
For the Palestinians, the road will connect the northern and southern parts of the West Bank. In a future that may have fewer checkpoints, they could travel directly from Ramallah north of Jerusalem to Bethlehem south of it — but without being allowed to enter either Jerusalem or the Maale Adumim settlement bloc.
Mr. Seidemann, referring to unresolved issues regarding borders, refugees and the fate of Jerusalem:
“To me, this road is a move to create borders, to change final status. It’s to allow Maale Adumim and E1 into Jerusalem but be able to say, ‘See, we’re treating the Palestinians well — there’s geographical contiguity.’ Measure it yourself. The Palestinian road is 16 meters wide,” or 52 feet. The Israeli theory of a contiguous Palestinian state is 16 meters wide.”
[Actually, the Israeli theory is NON AT ALL!!!
That's why they keep STEALING LAND!]
Khalil Tufakji, a prominent Palestinian geographer:
"The road is part of Sharon’s plan: two states in one state, so the Israelis and the Palestinians each have their own roads. The Palestinians will have no connection with the Israelis, but travel through tunnels and over bridges, while the Israelis will travel through Palestinian land without seeing an Arab. In the end, there is no Palestinian state, even though the Israelis speak of one. Instead, there will be a settler state and a Palestinian built-up area, divided into three sectors, cut by fingers of Israeli settlement and connected only by narrow roads.”
David Baker, an Israeli government spokesman, asked for comment, said:
“The security arrangements on these roads are in place to protect the citizens of Israel. And they are not connected to any other matter.”
A spokesman for the Israeli military’s civil administration department pointed out that Palestinians with permits to enter Israel could use the Israeli side of the road, and that for ordinary Palestinians, the road will be a quicker, better route from north to south than any current route.
There are numerous roads that only Israelis and Israeli-permit holders can travel on, but none segregated like this one.
Israel has promised the United States that it will not build housing now in E1, freezing a plan to construct 3,500 homes. But Israel is completing a large, four-story police station on a commanding hill in E1, intended to be the main police headquarters for the West Bank, and it is laying down electrical and water lines for future development.
And it is building this road.
[Once again ISRAEL DEFIES the U.S. and the world, but THEY DON'T RUN NUTHIN!
I get sick of POINTING OUT the OBVIOUS, reader!]
The road will be a kind of umbilical cord that cuts through Israeli-controlled and walled territory to connect the two parts of the West Bank.
Mr. Arieli, the reserve colonel:
“Now there’s a big gap in the barrier between Azzariya and Shuafat, of about 2.4 to 3 miles, and Israel hasn’t started to build the fence around Maale Adumim. But this road will be the answer if and when Israel builds the fence around Maale Adumim. You see that Israel is creating the conditions for the future. They try to take advantage of the current situation to prepare the infrastructure for the right time to start building E1.”
[Yup, ISRAEL IS GONNA BUILD THERE anyway! More LAND-STEALING!
See what fucking LIARS these shitter NaZionists are!
And the WHOLE FUCKING SHITSTINK STATE founding on a FUCKING LIE!!!]
Mr. Seidemann believes that Mr. Olmert, facing many problems now, will not start building in E1, but that the leader of Likud, Benjamin Netanyahu, if he is elected prime minister, might do so. Mr. Netanyahu said in 2005 that he would build in E1 no matter what Washington thought.
[That's because, as a furious Sharon said to Shimon Peres:
"Every time we do something you tell me America will do this and will do that . . . I want to tell you something very clear: Don't worry about American pressure on Israel. We, the Jewish people, control America, and the Americans know it."
Clear now, reader?]
Micaela Schweitzer-Bluhm, a spokeswoman for the American Consulate in Jerusalem, repeated American policy that Palestinians should be allowed to travel more easily through the West Bank “consistent with the need to maintain security.” Asked if this road predetermines final status, she said, “The U.S. government has encouraged the parties to avoid any actions that would predetermine permanent status,” but said she was not authorized to comment more specifically.
[Is that when Israel then told her to SHUT UP?]
Mr. Tufakji said he had become cynical about the way Israel builds for the future it defines, no matter what it promises Washington. He sees a West Bank divided into three parts by Israeli settlement blocs, the most important of which are Maale Adumim and E1, around the capital that both peoples claim as their own;
“Israel is building the infrastructure to keep E1, to surround Jerusalem. They are working to have an area of minimum Palestinians and maximum Israelis.”
[Which eventually means NO PALESTINIANS, period!]
Jerusalem
"Gunman Dies After Fight With Guards in Jerusalem" by STEVEN ERLANGER
JERUSALEM, Aug. 10 — A gunfight erupted in Jerusalem’s Old City on Friday when a young Arab man stole a pistol from a security guard and tried to flee. The young man was killed and 10 people were wounded, 3 moderately, including the guard, the police said.
The young man, who was not immediately identified, appeared to be about 18 to 20 but carried no identification, the police said. He was believed to live in Jerusalem.
According to the police and witnesses, two armed security guards who work at a nearby yeshiva were walking near the Jaffa Gate on Christian Quarter Street when the young man attacked one guard and took his gun. He shot the guard in the upper chest and ran toward the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate, chased by the second guard, the witnesses said.
[What Jewish guard loses his gun to an Arab kid? This stinks!
Almost like now Israel will HAVE an EXCUSE to EVICT the Palestinians from Jerusalem, right?]
There was an exchange of fire and bystanders were wounded, mostly by ricochets. The gunman was badly wounded, witnesses said, slumping against a wall, and was told to drop his gun. He died in a narrow street lined by shops. Ahmed Tibi, an Israeli Arab member of Parliament, said that the man was killed when he was already down, but the police said that they could not verify the charge.
One witness told Israel Radio: “I saw the wounded man on the ground wasn’t moving at all. I didn’t see anything in his hands. I saw two security guards continuing to shoot at the man.”
[So they EXECUTED HIM after he was down, huh?
Guess we'll never get his side of the story, huh?]
Dudi Cohen, the chief of the national police, told the Israeli news service Ynet:
“This was clearly a nationalistic incident. The terrorist wished to carry out an attack, and that was why he snatched one of the guards’ weapons. The guards acted in an exemplary manner, as is required.”
[Yup, everyone's a terrorist, according to the Israelis, and STATE ASSASSINATIONS are POLICY, huh?]
The police said that a review of closed-circuit video footage showed that the security guard did not continuing firing at the man once he was down.
Abu Moussa, who owns a shop on the street:
“A shooting like this has never happened in the Christian Quarter, but Jerusalem is not a peaceful place, as everyone thinks or would like to think.”
[Has never happened before in the Christian quarter, huh? Hmmmmmmmm!!!]
It was not immediately clear whether the guards were out for a stroll or were protecting one of the students from the Ateret Cohanim Yeshiva in the Christian Quarter. The guards who protect Jews in the Old City are paid for by the Israeli government. Ateret Cohanim is an ultra-Orthodox group that works to resettle Jews in the Old City and to buy property there. Its activities have caused anger among Arabs, but there is no indication that the shooting on Friday was related to Ateret Cohanim.
[Oh, no! Ticking-off Arabs would have NOTHING to do with the Israelis STEALING MORE LAND!
Good Lord, hey!!! What a bunch of NaZionist Scum!]
Two other security guards who have lived in the Old City for 20 years were nearby, both armed. They refused to give their names, but one said:
“We work according to rules, and one of the very clear orders we have is that when we see a terrorist who is armed, we are instructed to shoot back at him until we kill him. This way we will prevent a bigger incident.”
[Yup, all of them are terrorists, so KILL 'EM FIRST and DON'T ASK QUESTIONS LATER!
This whole episode STINKS!
ASSASSINATION is STATE POLICY for Israel, huh?]
Two hours after the shooting, Israeli ambulance workers zipped the Arab man’s body into a bag and wrote on it in Hebrew, “the terrorist.”
[Like the Israeli girls writing on the bombs they DROPPED ON Lebanon, right?]
Later, tourists returned to the busy streets, stepping over a large pool of blood as shopkeepers began to sluice it away, sending red rivulets down the ancient stones.
[Yeah, of what important are the lives of Arabs or Muslims?
Just STEP RIGHT OVER!
This creates nothing but UNBOUNDED RAGE for me, reader!]
Peace
Separately on Friday, the newspaper Yediot Aharonot reported that Ehud Barak, the former prime minister and current defense minister, has ruled out any peace deal with the Palestinians in the near future as a “fantasy.” The newspaper did not quote him directly, but cited “private conversations” in which Mr. Barak said that Israel would not withdraw from large areas of the West Bank before finding a technical solution to Palestinian rocket attacks, “which will take between three to five years.”
[BLOCKING PEACE AGAIN!
Always the SAME OLD FUCKING SONG and DANCE with these SHIT NaZionists!!
Yup, KEEP WAITING Palestinians while we STEAL MORE LAND!
Never mind that it is Israel's friend Fatah that is LAUNCHING the rockets!
It has been reported elsewhere that Mr. Barak, who is also leader of the Labor Party, opposed a quick handover of security responsibility in West Bank towns to Palestinian forces and was urging caution as the Palestinian president, Mahmoud Abbas, tried to consolidate his hold over the West Bank after losing Gaza to Hamas.
Aides of Mr. Barak did not deny the essence of those comments, but said that he attached “great importance to the peace process.”
[Notice how the Times places that story at the END of the Zionist-slanted "report?"]
"Israeli minister dismisses peace push 'fantasies'; Reportedly won't remove W. Bank checkpoints" by Ari Rabinovitch/Reuters August 11, 2007
JERUSALEM -- Israel's defense minister, Ehud Barak, was quoted as saying yesterday that talk of any peace deal with the Palestinians anytime soon was a fantasy, in a challenge to US-led efforts to revive negotiations.
[And you know what fantasies are, reader?
Fantasy: "A product of the imagination; an illusion."
Got what the shitstink state is all about now, reader?
A band of fucking shitstinking liars!]
In private conversations reported by Israel's Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper, Barak said he would not carry out plans by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to remove roadblocks in the West Bank as a gesture to Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
Barak... was quoted in Yedioth as saying a peace deal would not be possible for at least three to five years. Barak said that is how much time would be needed for Israel to develop defenses against rockets.
Barak was quoted as saying:
"You can't feed Israelis fantasies about an arrangement with the Palestinians anytime soon."
Palestinian officials said after Monday's meeting that they had received assurances from Olmert that Israel would approve as early as next week the removal of some of the hundreds of checkpoints, roadblocks, and other barriers that restrict Palestinian travel in the West Bank.
Meanwhile, more than 20 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip were wounded yesterday in violence sparked when Hamas forces arrested some 20 members and supporters of rival Fatah in one of Hamas's largest sweeps since it took over the territory.
Also yesterday, in Jerusalem, a man grabbed a pistol from an Israeli security guard in Jerusalem's Old City and shot him, but was shot dead by another guard as he tried to flee, Israeli police said.
Rescue teams reported that nine other people were wounded in the melee. It was not clear if any of the wounded were tourists."
[Tired of the shitstink state and its LIES! TIRED OF 'EM!!!
They DON'T WANT PEACE!]
