Israel advances plans for 2,269 new West Bank settlement homes

[Jefferson23]

JERUSALEM (AFP)

-- Israel has progressed with plans for more than 2,000 new homes in six Jewish settlements across the West Bank an official said Thursday, in a move likely to further endanger peace talks.

Guy Inbar, a spokesman for the defense ministry unit responsible for civilian affairs in the Palestinian territories, said a ministry committee had furthered existing plans for 2,269 homes at a meeting last month.

He confirmed claims by anti-settlements Israeli group Peace Now about decisions on two sets of projects, which the watchdog said the committee had examined on February 19.

In the first case, the committee approved for validation 1,015 units in Leshem, Beit El and Almog, meaning the only remaining formality for their final approval is the okay of Defense Minister Moshe Yaalon.

1. Maan ?

Needs cross reference before we can trust this source .

Maan is prone to publish extremist antiSemitic hate .

http://www.maannews.net/arb/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=672533

[Jefferson23]

2. Spam, and ask settler,Itamar Marcus the Palwatch racist living in the OPT for another source.

That's who you trust, go ask him.

Findings, Israeli Judge finds Itamar Marcus not credible, loses cases of incitement against Palestinians:

3. No source needed

Anyone can read for themselves from Maan itself .

( google translate )

http://www.maannews.net/arb/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=672533

[Jefferson23]

4. Spam, you can't handle a Palestinian publication. Your sources, discredited by the Israeli judge.

See post #2.

Israel is expanding settlements..fact, as reported by Ma'an and a trusted source by Haaretz.

Too bad Bibi keeps doing that..outrageous.

[King_David]

5. No sources necessary ,

People can read the Maan article for themselves unfiltered .

http://www.maannews.net/arb/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=672533

Google Translate.

Are you going to be the only one to "defend" this .

[Jefferson23]

6. Your evidence is from a discredited bigot settler..stop bullying in this thread pretending I

support your bullshit you have not even translated.

Stop spamming the threads because you don't like a Palestinian publication that was
vindicated by an Israeli judge.

[King_David]

7. The evidence is not in any source

http://www.maannews.net/arb/ViewDetails.aspx?ID=672533

Can be read alone , it's still up there 1 month later .

No source other than Maan itself.

[Jefferson23]

9. Spam and derailing threads. If you insist you will have to take the conversation back to the thread:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1134&pid=60382

PLO: 56 Palestinians killed, 897 injured since peace talks began

http://www.democraticunderground.com/113460224



You'll do anything, evidently to avoid the OP which accurately reports the expansion of settlements.


If you continue to spam Ma'an threads it will be another stain on you...have at it.

10. I don't read Arabic

what does that page say?

[King_David]

12. It's an essay about a world Jewish conspiracy

Protocols of Elders of Zion.



http://www.democraticunderground.com/113460083

It's antiSemitic filth published in Maan and still there 1 month later.

[azurnoir]

15. Would you like for me to repeat some of hate from readers that is published elsewhere say on +972

I offer to do this but no one seems to take me up on it for some reason

[King_David]

16. Instead find a publication,

That would receive a ltte and select it for publication and post the hate filled screed and leave it up for a month.

Not a talk-back response posted by anonymous readers, a letter to the editor....selected for publication by the Editor.


Yes find it.

[azurnoir]

18. talkbacks and letters to the editor are almost the same thing opinons from various readers

the major difference being in an LttE your allowed more space and can write a longer entry and all publication select what they publish regardless of whether its a talkback or an LttE

[azurnoir]

14. It's a letter to the editor one of many and that Ma'an has a disclaimer to

the apparent need to pretend otherwise confounds me unless this is a method of harassment or something

[King_David]

17. A essay submitted and selected . nt

[azurnoir]

19. all written entries to publications are selected both talkbacks and LttE's about the only difference

might be a talkback you can enter anonymously while for an LttE you must make up a name

[sabbat hunter]

8. I don't understand why

Tzipi Livni is still a part of this coalition government. She is constantly being undermined in her role as chief negotiator with the PA, and is seemingly powerless.

If she can convince Yair Lapid to leave as well, the government would collapse and trigger new elections. I think she could convince him to withdraw his party and run under a unified banner, opposing Likud. Likud Yisrael Beiteinu would likely splinter back into its separate parties, which would leave a power vacuum to be filled by a unified Hatnuah Yesh Atid. and then maybe we can actually have serious negotiations on the part of the Israeli government. That would put a lot of pressure on Abbas and the PA to put up or shut up.

[Jefferson23]

11. Do you think Lapid would listen to her? n/t

[sabbat hunter]

13. I think he might

he is not getting any more of his agenda passed with this coalition.

[Israeli]

20. Or .......

When he is not busy with all of that, Ariel also makes a point of announcing that he will do what he can to have ministers Yair Lapid and Tzipi Livni removed from the coalition government and replaced with representatives of the ultra-Orthodox parties, with whom he has made sure to foster close relationships. And every so often, he also comes out publicly against President Shimon Peres. In an interview with Maariv, he accused Peres of destroying the institution of the presidency. He said that Peres sided with an extremist minority and that he undermined the prime minister, “when he says that it is not necessary to demand recognition of Israel as a Jewish state.”

....careful what you wish for it could get worse .

[sabbat hunter]

21. Thing is

if Lapid and Livini leave the government, it would cause the coalition to collapse. The Yisrael Beiteinu party and its leader Lieberman would not support bringing in ultra-orthodox parties to the coalition. One of the few positive things he has worked for is to break the power of the religious parties and the rabbinate.
