Israel To Build 700 Apartments In East Jerusalem

Discussion in 'Politics & Religion' started by ThraXed, Dec 28, 2009.

    Israel announced Monday it is building nearly 700 new apartments for Jews in east Jerusalem, where Palestinians hope to set up the capital of a future state. The U.S., Palestinians and the European Union condemned the plan, a fresh setback to American efforts to restart Mideast peace talks.

    For Jews? Bit racist, no? If my local council decided to build 700 new council flats for "a select group of people" like "muslims" or "jews" there would be riots.

    Another hit against any hope of a peaceful solution for the Middle East conflict, which does not surprise me because the so-called Israel has no interest in peace if it will also bring peace to Palestinians, they are only interesting in a peaceful solution that will bring peace for them only.

    Israel doesn't want peace, it's that simple.

    Who are you trying to fool? Hamas do not run the West Bank....find somewhere else to post your deceitful rubbish and think of a better excuse next time.

    Interesting. I just read her post, and I didn't find the part where she said Hamas runs the West Bank. I suppose your failure to find that also explains your inability to detect the sarcasm in Nate's post.

    The problem with Israel is that they seem not to comprehend these five words: Separation of Church and State. If Israel wants to be taken seriously as an open country that is available to all cultures, like the US, then it really shouldn't even be recognizing special rights or privileges for any religious group. Everyone should be equal before the Law, for the State is greater than any of these man-made social divisions. This is why, originally, the US Congress couldn't even make any Laws for a special group or person. That's a Bill of Attainder, and it's never good. This news is a perfect testament of that. Sure, it'll make Israel seem more open to the Semites, but it'll also anger the Muslim population. The government doling out favors to some people and not the others will never serve the ideals of equality, much less equal opportunity.

    Israel is the homeland of the Jews. Why shouldn't they be allowed to construct housing in their won capital.

    If only they could be more like the even handed Palestinians, or Iranians! God willing, they will be.

    Oh yes, Keith, from Bristol, famous anonymous commentator on online article comments sections. His words carry so much weight. So poignant. No wonder he has a negative 82 rating.

    Dude, you are cutting and pasting from comment sections now? Here are some words of wisdom I found in the bathroom urinal.

    hey .. it isn't a good idea to tell out your private secrets like that in a public forum

    I know would it is very demoralizing for you but still like they say 'size does not matter'
    so buddy .. buck up no need to get sad on your 'joke' :p

    on a serious note
    why do you think that every sate is criticizing the isreali plan to build the apartments ? I mean if they are legal and right than why is everyone objecting

    even USA did a lip services pretending to dislike the building ?

    LMAO. You actually commented in response to bathroom wall humor. Thank you for acknowledging the level of conversation.

    In answer to your question: I don't care. Peace takes two sides to come to terms, and your side can't even get past comments supporting genocide of the Jews. The west bank has been occupied a long time awaiting a peaceful two state solution that appears to be moving farther and farther away. They should just call it Israel and pave it with condominiums. It beats the continued "negotiation" with people who would rather have you dead.

    Like all Zionists, and their supporters, obamanation choose not to discuss the message, but the messenger, in other words, killing the messenger to get rid of the message,

    here is the message: "why is it that a country that suffered so much under the nazis has now become so much like them."

    and here is the messenger: "Keith, from Bristol"

    attacking Keith, whom I do not know, does not delete the message, what will delete the message is proving it is wrong.

    but if you still insist on taking or refusing a message depending on who is the messenger, then you should take this message by Albert Einstein, I do not think his comments are of the "bathroom humor" kind which you are well familiar in,
