"Jewish settlements draw protest"
"by Richard Boudreaux, Los Angeles Times | February 21, 2008
JERUSALEM - Jewish settlers have established a new West Bank community and expanded an existing one, drawing protest yesterday from Palestinian leaders who say the activity is hindering peace talks with Israel....
It was unclear whether Olmert's government would evict the 37 Jewish families involved.
In one case, 27 prefabricated homes have been assembled in Eli, a settlement about 10 miles north of Ramallah, and are being connected to the community's water and power lines. The activity began last month and was first reported yesterday in the newspaper Haaretz.
Last month?
How come I'm only hearing about it today, and why did the Zionist-controlled AmerIkan MSM minimize it?
Jews have occupied 10 more homes in Maskiot in the Jordan Valley, Israel's Channel 1 television reported last week. More than a year ago Israel had approved, and then revoked, plans to build 30 homes there, but construction went ahead in recent weeks without government approval.
Or with it.
Inaction is action, right?
Palestinians seek the entire West Bank for an independent state and are demanding the removal of all Jewish settlements.
Yeah, those unreasonable Palestinians DEMANDING their land not be STOLEN!
Sick of the shit Jew AmeriKan press!
The new settler activity is far from Jerusalem, where Olmert is permitting new housing construction in East Jerusalem and nearby West Bank settlements that Israel expects to keep under a final peace accord.
With the exception of those sites, the Israeli leader "clearly reiterates his principles: No new settlements, no outward expansion of existing settlements," said his spokesman, Mark Regev.
Captain Tzidki Maman, a spokesman for the Israeli military's Civil Administration in the West Bank, said it was "examining" ways to deal with the unauthorized construction in Eli and had issued orders to tear down the illegally built homes in Maskiot.
But he added that any move to evict settlers would depend on a decision from the Israeli leadership...."
And if they do nothing, well, that's an APPROVAL, isn't it?
We've been here before!
