Quote #1: "Israel historically has interpreted its commitments on halting settlement expansion differently from the rest of the international community."
It's called being a ROGUE NATION and a WAR CRIMINAL NATION!!!
Imagine if it was an Arab nation doing that (knock, knock, knocking on Saddam's grave)!
Quote #2: "Many Israeli settlements have been established in precisely that manner, beginning as military points that are gradually converted into fledgling communities that continue to grow."
It's called STEALING LAND and ETHNICALLY CLEANSING a population, and yet it raises NARY a PEEP from the U.N. and the AmeriKan MSM!!
Case closed on their PRO-ZIONIST BIAS, readers!!!
"Israeli committee OK's new settlement; Palestinians are infuriated by the West Bank plan" by Laurie Copans, Associated Press | July 25, 2008
JERUSALEM - A key committee has approved construction of the first new Jewish settlement in the West Bank in a decade, an Israeli official said yesterday.
Asked why Israel was moving ahead with the politically charged plan, the official said it has been in the pipeline for years.
So all this talk about peace and agreements, it's just more Zionist stall and BULLSHIT, isn't it?
The PLANS are in the PIPELINE, huh?
Israel originally announced in 2006 that it would build Maskiot, then froze the plan after international outcry. But earlier this year, nine Israeli families settled in mobile homes at the site, which Palestinians claim as part of a future state. Settlers say that around two dozen more families are waiting to join them.
When talks renewed last year after a seven-year breakdown, Israel promised not to establish new settlements in the West Bank. The two sides set a goal of reaching a final peace accord by the end of the year, but have since scaled back their ambitions, in part because disputes over Israeli settlement have impeded progress on peacemaking.
Just proves that Bush's talks were exactly what we said at the time: BULLSHIT!!!
Israel historically has interpreted its commitments on halting settlement expansion differently from the rest of the international community. The Maskiot community is made up of settlers Israel evacuated from Gaza when it left the territory three years ago. When it withdrew from Gaza, Israel promised not to relocate evacuated settlers to the West Bank.
Maskiot had decades ago been established as a military base, and four years ago a religious school was set up there. But no one had lived at the site until February.
Many Israeli settlements have been established in precisely that manner, beginning as military points that are gradually converted into fledgling communities that continue to grow.

"Settlers clash with Palestinians
NABLUS - More than 20 Jewish settlers attacked a Palestinian village in the West Bank yesterday, smashing cars and windows and cutting electricity wires, Palestinian police said. An Israeli police spokesman, however, said settlers never entered the village itself, although there were scuffles between Palestinians and Israelis outside the village of Burin on the road to the nearby settlement of Yitzhar. Palestinian police officials said dozens of houses and cars were damaged (AP July 25, 2008)."
Oh, yeah, case definitely closed on Iz-ray-HELL and the Zionist-controlled AmeriKan MSM!!!!
Of course, you will never see this in a Zionist War Daily:
"Report: Israel committed more than 51 violations since the truce started
Al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Jihad Movement, stated Thursday that the IOF troops had committed more than 51 violations and 400 military assaults, and kidnapped 300 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank since the truce took effect. In a report monitoring the Israeli violations of the calm, the Brigades said that in the fifth week of the truce, Israel committed eight violations during which a Palestinian citizen was wounded north of Gaza and two others were kidnapped in Khan Younis."
