Israeli PM says houses will still be built in Jerusalem

Osaka News.Net
Monday 15th March, 2010

In spite of mounting opposition from the United States, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue building settlements in Jerusalem.
In spite of mounting opposition from the United States, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue building settlements in Jerusalem.

Speaking to the Israeli parliament on Monday, Mr Netanyahu said he would not change the Israeli policy that has existed for 42 years, of building in Jerusalem.

He said construction would continue on 1,600 homes in disputed East Jerusalem.

Israel captured East Jerusalem in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war and later annexed it.

Most international governments do not recognise Israel's suggestion that it has the right to be there.

Israel announced the expansion plans last week as US Vice President Joe Biden visited the country hoping to start indirect peace talks between Israelis and Palestinians.

The dispute between the US and Israel about the housing plans in East Jerusalem has created such a rift between the two countries that the Israeli Ambassador to the US, Michael Oren, has had to tell his government that relations between the two allies are at a thirty five year low.

Radicalized Israel

We do not back the actions of Israel and it is time to rethink our support of this. First- they must join the NPT and declare thier nuclear arsenal. Second- Stop using the holocaust as a reason not to be critized and taring everyone that disagrees as anti-sematic. Third-End the bickering and deaths. Fourth-Israel & Palistian reach your potential together as one. Goodluck!

Netanyahy and his gang

This gang don’t want peace all. They just want the US taxpayers money and keep the occupied lands. The world has to end its 62 years hibernation and find out what this gang acutally is made of.

Justice for Palestinians

The USA is blowing a lot of hot air about the building of houses in East Jerusalem but they won' do anything about it. Just wait and see. The Palestinians have got a concrete case here and it will now be up to the world community to stand up and demand that this programme is terminated, otherwise lets have sanctions against these arrogant Zionists that is the only way forward and justice to be seen to be done for the future of peace in the region

Let's think, than act

All you supporters of palestinian state, with help of US, can not be done!!! Let US designate one of the states (like Florida or California or any other) to be a different country (terrorist country that wants to destroy US) and see if US can live with that? Maybe if Mexico will start shooting rockets at US than we (US) will try to talk to them, or maybe we just shoot back! Israel has the right, obligation, to protect it’s citizens and US can not tell them what to do!

Justice or Might

Screaming Eagle where I come from If a bank is being robbed we do not blow up the bank and kill the innocent with the guilty. Where i live if a killer kills one person we do not kill him his friends and neighbours! If rockets cause 10 deaths we do not take 1000 lives! By Israels example we should terrorise all Jewish people until they stop terrorising the Palistians-but we don’t because thier not too blame and making victims of the innocent was a tool of the Nazi’s a group of oppressors which Israel seems to want to emulate-WHY? Would it not be better to relocate Israel to the west as long as were making wishes? Goodluck to both sides but try and hold the moral high ground!

The situation in Middle East is such that the Israel wants peace, even though the peace can not truly be attained because there is nobody to make peace with. Palestinians want their own country. Why they did not want it when the land was available to them during Jordan rule. Palestinians want Israel gone. That will not happen. The

Surely its the other way round. Israel want’s to eradicate the palestinians. They on their own will never concede any land to give the unfortunate’s space. What would you do if you were in the same position? The USA a staunch ally and supplier of the H bomb and everything else relies on Israel to keep order in the region. They are openly being embarresed by their friends and dont know where to turn. They could turn to the United nations but they would just the veto to save their friends.

Israel does NOT mind having palestinians as NEIGHBORS. But they must learn to behave. Notice that when the rockets are not flying to Israel, there is calm in the region. Palestinians do not share. The dome is the only site that belongs to Muslims and is the only site that is not open to everyone. Why? Bad behavior needs to be punished!

Israel could kill every man woman and child calling themselves Palestinians and have plenty of fire power to deal with the other chattel.
They have chosen not to murder millions of people.
They provide food, water, power and medicine to a group of people who want all Israelis dead or homeless.
There are times the Israeli response appears ham handed until you put time lines together showing the amount of agitation and provocation coming from Palestinian pressure groups.
If Palestinians had the fire power Israel has they would not hesitate to destroy Israel and drive all Jews into the sea.
I for one am sick and tired of hearing about Palestinians and how bad they have it after all it’s fellow Arabs that put them in the position they are in.
Further the “leadership” for lack of a better term of the Palestinian people forever make the WRONG choices.
They rob and pillage the peoples welfare checks from other countries and keep their people stupid angry and ignorant.
While doing all of this they scapegoat Israel when they themselves continue to be a useless people who produce NOTHING of worth.
Instead of educating their children and working hard to better themselves they chose the path of hate and until that changes even if they achieve statehood they still will have nothing but a cess pool as a homeland.
Nothing can change a people who refuse to help themselves.
If all Palestinians disappeared right now no one would miss them and Egypt could finally take down the walls to keep the Palestinian criminals out.

If Israel disappeared a vibrant country full of highly educated industrious and motivated people would be missed.

Screaming eagle I could scream reading your blogs. Did you know that 1400 men women and children were murdered by Irael troops when they invaded Gasa. Have you got stars and stripes on your glasses. For gods sake man take a look around the world and see whats really going on. You might see things differently without a biassed approach. But I am very sceptical.

houses will still be built

Israel can do whatever she wants to, there should not be land for peace, nobody and no country gives up land for peace. The Palestines have a country, it is called Jordan, they just want east Jerusalem to surround them to anniliate them and the speak about it on their websites, they have every plan to wipe Israel off the map, if they truly wanted peace they would stop the rocket attacks against the Jews. Nobody has a right to tell another country what to do, doesn’t anybody wonder why there is such a pull for peace in Israel with the land issue.
It bothers me and I do not believe that this country USA has a good interest in it, there is an agenda, a huge agenda and I have never seen so much anti semitism in all my life, nobody says anything about the jews getting killed everyday, but everybody has a mouth when it comes to the other side. I wonder what everyone would do if they starting acting like that here in this country, when things would get blown up and they demand 'land for peace' or this for peace, or that for peace. It is sickening.

La Raza agitates daily for the US to return land won in a war and bought with token money.
La Raza meaning the race is a hateful brown latino pride pressure group that will use violence and has but they know the Mexicans are breeding like roaches and one day soon will be the majority race in the Southwest region of the US.
They will one day just vote themselves out of the US and back into Mexico without firing a shot.

Do not forget South Arica

As Vice Persient said: The present state
between Israel and the Palestinians is not substainiable. Israel cannot continue to dominate, disrepect, and humilate the Palestinians people forever. There is always a time when the dominated have had enough and feel that they have no hope and nothing to lose by fighting for there freedom and self respect. The Roman Empire had the same mind set as Israel seems to have now. What happened to the Holy Roman Empire?

Because you spout off like a complete imbecile devoid of facts or logic.
My bet is your an Arab as well as a muslim which is two groups of people with more collective bloodshed on their hands then anyone else in History.
Arab Muslims have slashed and hacked there way across the middle east for 1400 years destroying any culture or civilization that had any women to rape and anything worth stealing.

Nor am I Christian but I do know History.
I know Muslims destroyed all cultures they came across and invaded into France causing the Crusades to begin.
I know Muslims slaughtered a hundred million Hindus in India and have been slaughtering Buddhist monks all over the orient.
I know everywhere they go violence, kidnapping and death follows them.

You can claim to be English and still Arab as well as Muslim.
England is full of militant hate mongering Muslims they foolishly imported.
The streets are full of them in Londonistan.

So is that true is Europe a cancer?
Those hoodlums think your a cancer and in your case they may be right.
My take is the exact opposite Islam as these people are using it is the cancer.
Palestinians are a cancer.
How about Egypt take them of course Egypt doesn’t want them!
Nor Syria or Jordan!
They treated like scum in every country in the middle east.
Yet you worry about the poor hapless Palestinians meanwhile your own country is slowly being destroyed by their kin.
What a fool.

Simply amazing as you spout a different and just as bigoted fascist viewpoint that is even more dangerous to humanity.
How many nations and people have they over run and destroyed through war, murder, genocide, rape and forced conversion to Judaism?
How many cultures, religions and peoples have they snuffed out?
Big fat none!
Egads your obtuse.
They have not even destroyed the vile Palestinian authority, Hamas, Hezbollah or the scores of other hate groups whose entire existence is to murder jews and destroy Israel!
Your views are not only wrong they are downright stupid so look in the mirror when you start shovelling the manure pile of bigotry narrow mindedness and fascism.

Quote:

The USA refuses to utilize propaganda nowadays. In the past, it was used to dehumanize Japanese and Germans and make the USA seem more appealing to Russians. But now, other than Obama campaign slogans and posters, we view it all as evil.

I blame Bush. And wtf, liberalism too.

The Muslim world is riddled with conspiracy theories and mysticism. Images of Jews as apes, fortified by Koranic verses that say the exact same, are extremely powerful in dehumanizing Jews and rallying destitute Muslims, who would usually just be killing each other, mutilating women, eradicating homosexuality, and sitting around smoking tobacco.

So when you look at the above picture, and imagine the pulse of the crowd, remember it’s not a joke that the Jew is represented by an ape. Consider another lost generation of Muslim children who will forever hate Jews because of terrifying images like this…well, and because of the Quran.

By the way, the lovely picture was taken in Obama’s Jakarta. And they hate Jews there because?

The Quran.

UPDATE: Atlas has pictures of the Muslims that have taken over Europe chanting “Jews to the gas.”

I need two CCs of Leftism telling me that, “Christianity is just as threatening and all religions have extremists” STAT!

Colonial Logic

First off I’m not Palestinian. The Israelis are occupiers on stolen land period. No matter how you slice it or cut it their colonist. Don’t give me the religion argument crap they where settled on someones else land who was living there. The people have a right to fight back and resist them and not become second class citizens. If the Israelis want peace get the hell of Palestinian land or make a equal and equitable agreement with them. It’s not complicated.

Israeli Hypocrisy

Israel has proven over the years that it does not want peace. The dividing wall is one-way only in that it prevents the free movement of the Palestinians. Where I come from that’s called a prison. As an American taxpayer, I DEMAND my hard earned money to stop being given as a gift to Israel.
