Take a look at the map - no wonder the Palestinians aren't making nice. If the US did this to us, all the while claiming that it was perfectly legitimate and that we were the impediment to peace, we'd be a bunch of pissed off double double drinkers too.

No no no, your being anti semitic here and demonizing Israel for no reason at all.

Former leaders of anything do not make policy.

I was thinking the exact same

But got Isarelis in defensive formation none the less. Lets the what Big brother has to say, if anything at all.

[sandorski]

I agree. Sanctions would work, especially if the US supported them.

Former leaders...


What do the current leaders say?

[andyt]

The article tells you what they say. They condemn the settlements as illegal, but it's buisiness as usual.

Am I the only one here that's shocked by the map? I thought the settlements would be close to Israel proper, ie little incursions into Palestine. But they've already Bantustan'd the whole place. And they expect the Palestinians to make peace?

[desertdude]

Thats the thing, People have no clue as to exactly whats going down and why that these illegal settlements are key stones to any peace agreement. Also keep in mind these settlements are expanding constantly.

Again just blind support because Israel can never be wrong and its always the not their fault.

* Once again, cue the rethoric.

EB, Cdo who wants to go first ?

C'mon we got wikileaks going on here. It's got be the saga of the decade. Can't we drop boring old "Jews and Philistines going at it again" for a while.
