If you were not aware of it before, you are now: Israel does NOT want peace!!!
Otherwise they wouldn't pull this shit.
And they will get away with it, too.
Where's the world's fucking outrage, dammit?
"Israel announces building plans for East Jerusalem; Palestinians call move a setback for peace process" by Richard Boudreaux, Los Angeles Times | February 13, 2008
JERUSALEM - Israel unveiled plans yesterday to build 1,120 apartments for Jews in East Jerusalem, a move the Palestinians called a new setback for US-backed peace negotiations.
The announcement by Housing Minister Zeev Boim appeared to be aimed at placating the Shas religious party, which had vowed to quit the coalition government if it conceded anything to the Palestinians on Jerusalem.
Which means shit bag Zionists control the Israeli government.
That's why there will never be peace!
Shas had criticized a government freeze on approval of new Jewish housing projects in territory claimed by the Palestinians. Jerusalem's city manager said Monday that the freeze was blocking needed construction in East Jerusalem, but Boim insisted that it applied only in the West Bank beyond the city limits.
"We are building all over Jerusalem within its municipal borders," he told Israel Radio. "What people call delays are in fact final stages of coordination with City Hall."
Boim said construction tenders are being prepared for Jewish homes in two eastern neighborhoods, 750 in Pisgat Zeev and 370 in Har Homa.
Israel captured the eastern part of the city in the 1967 Middle East War. It later annexed East Jerusalem and built new neighborhoods that are now home to 180,000 Israelis. There are 208,000 Palestinians in East Jerusalem.
What about all the U.N. resolutions Israel is violating in the process of their 60-year occupation, shit MSM?
How come that never makes your "background" paragraph?
Palestinian Authority leaders insist that adding homes to Jewish neighborhoods would prejudice any talks on dividing the city under a peace accord. The Palestinians want East Jerusalem as the capital of a future state.
Basically what the program is meant to do: sabotage peace until all the Palestinians are gone -- ethnically-cleansed or genocide.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert imposed the housing freeze in December after the Palestinians criticized Israel's plans to build new apartments in a separate project in Har Homa and another in the West Bank settlement of Maale Adumim. The dispute stalled the peace talks for weeks.
Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said yesterday's announcement undermined hopes for a peace agreement. "Once again we ask the Israeli government to give peace a chance by stopping all settlement activity," he said.
And how many times have you guys had to ask, anyway?
The Bush administration joined the Palestinians in criticizing the earlier housing plans. Yesterday, White House press secretary Dana Perino said she was not familiar with the new plans, "but, obviously, there's no doubt that an announcement of that sort would make the Palestinians concerned."
And? That's it?
That's the harsh criticism?
And if the WH didn't know, then it IS ISRAEL CALLING the SHOTS, isn't it?
The peace effort has been troubled since President Bush, Olmert, and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas launched it Nov. 27. Intensified rocket attacks on Israel from the Hamas-run Gaza Strip, a Palestinian suicide bombing in southern Israel last week, and Israeli threats of a large-scale invasion of Gaza have soured the negotiating climate.
Which all doesn't matter because of this beauty of a quote:
"Bush's expectations were in line with Israel's."
Visiting here last month, Bush said his goal was a peace treaty by the end of his term next January. But Israeli Vice Prime Minister Haim Ramon said Monday the best Israel could hope for by then is a "declaration of principles" for peace that might take two to three years to flesh out."
Or maybe NEVER, right, stink NaZionist!
