Quote of the day

The sudden assertion of human criteria within a dehumanising framework of political manipulation can be like a flash of lightning illuminating a dark landscape

Vaclav Havel

Why are they building new homes on occupied lands?

I just read this in the news: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20070115/ap_on_re_mi_ea/israel_palestinians Some tidbits: "The Israeli government published plans on Monday to build new homes in its largest West Bank settlement, defying American opposition to such construction" ""Building 44 new houses in the Maaleh Adumim settlement is one more Israeli violation of signed agreements with the Palestinians," said Khalil Tofakji, a geographer and former Palestinian negotiator." "In an interview published Monday, Rice expressed general U.S. displeasure with settlement expansion." "Even so, Bush has signaled his support for allowing Israel to keep major settlement blocs" So one day this occupied land will become home of the occupiers like much of other settlements, then they will wonder why the Palestinians get so ticked off when they built homes on their lands. How can there be peace without justice?

jyang 1- yes u read it in the news, but we watch is in TV , as you see others dont know the real news only if they want to as I mean the west, but for us , the news comes to us even if we dont search for it and always all the news concerning occupied terretories are sad. thank you for providing it , as really sometimes I hope the west and honest people can watch what we watch and then judje by themselves. It is the game of the media and their wars.
