1,300 More Israeli Houses Going Up in Jerusalem

Yeah, hide it in the middle of page A4 on a Saturday (when most don't read a paper -- if they read one at all).

Nice going, Zioni..., you know, I'm tired of it.

YOU know what they are, readers.


"Israel OK's more E. Jerusalem homes" by Amy Teibel, Associated Press | June 14, 2008

JERUSALEM - Israel announced plans yesterday to build 1,300 more homes in east Jerusalem, further angering Palestinians who warned ongoing construction threatens efforts to work out a peace deal by the end of the year.

The announcement by Israel's Interior Ministry brought to more than 3,000 the number of homes Israel has approved for construction on land that Palestinians want for a state since the renewal of the US-supported peace talks late last year.

Peace talks = HORSE SHIT!

Israel insisted yesterday that most of the building in east Jerusalem is on land the state has already annexed and thus it does not violate its commitment in negotiations not to build on disputed land. The comments by government spokesman Mark Regev suggested that Israel will not be deterred from further building in the city.

Yup, and the DAMN WORLD (hear me, U.N.) will do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!

Interior Ministry spokeswoman Sabine Hadad said yesterday that new apartments were approved for construction in the ultra-Orthodox Ramat Shlomo neighborhood to help alleviate a housing shortage in Jerusalem...."

At this point I'd had it with the article.

I gave you the link; you can keep reading if you like eating Zio-prop shit, readers. I'm done.

Oh, and dig into this one, too:

"Gunmen fire on Lebanese army patrol"

TRIPOLI, Lebanon (AFP) — Lebanese forces arrested 10 people on Saturday after gunnmen opened fire on an army patrol near a Palestinian refugee camp in the north of the country, a security official said.

The attack occurred in Qobbeh, a predominantly Sunni district on the northeastern edge of the port city of Tripoli, the official said.

"There was an exchange of fire, but there were no injuries," he said adding that 10 people were arrested in the incident near the Beddawi Palestinian refugee camp.

Security concerns have mounted in Lebanon in the face of sporadic attacks on army posts and sectarian clashes between opponents and supporters of the Western-backed ruling majority.

On Thursday, the army defused a roadside bomb near a military base north of Tripoli and last month a soldier was killed in a blast at an army intelligence base in Abdeh, also in north Lebanon.

The latest violence comes as efforts to form a new national unity government are deadlocked over key portfolios, including the defence and interior ministries, despite an agreement last month by rival factions.

Pfffffffft!

CUI BONO?
