    This is very disappointing.

    Hey. The point is not how many jews live there or not.
    The point is that the term "illegal" has absolutely no meaning at all! In order for something to be "legal" or "not legal", there must be a "law", which there is not in this case.

    How come the israeli presence in E.Jerusalem in "illegal" whereas the "reeducation" of the Australian Aboriginals, or the ethnic cleansing of darfur, or the British/US occupation of Iraq is "legal"?

    There was Jewish majority in Jerusalem dating to approx 1900. Israel is not going to turn over East Jerusalem to Hamas; so that, Hamas creates another "East Beruit".

    There are more Immigrants in Brooklyn than White Caucasian. This doesn't mean anything.

    There are 70 Palestinian homes to be taken down in the West Bank because they have no permits, which the planning and building authorities never gives to the Palestinans in the first place. You call this fair? I call it intentional blockbusting.

    Peace,

    There's plenty of Caucasians and Russians out in Brighton Beach, Brooklyn.

    The Palestinians didn't have permits. They should concentrate on resolving the permit issue rather than putting up buildings without permits. Up until the few years 80+ of the Palestianian permits were approved.

    Now one can understand why the Palestinians are fighting.
    They have to ask the occupiers for permission to built on their own land!
    Imagine somebody steals your property with a fraud, wouldn't you fight for it? Would you feel it is morally right to ask him for permission to use the property as it fits you?
    I think every normal person would fight for his rights.

    "........ They should concentrate on resolving the permit issue rather than putting up buildings without permits. Up until the few years 80+ of the Palestianian permits were approved.... "

    Nonsense in general. We know how honest and unbiased bogart is. So is the Jewish State's leadership.... They will hardly get even 10% of the permits needed not to mention, that the Jews are supposed to ask for building permits the Palestinian authorities.
