A lot of it has happened while Netanyahu says "I want peace, they don't, build more, build faster". We need to force them, thru the power of the purse string. They don't have to do what we want, but we don't have to give them money if they don't. If a pol was to take that kind of a stance, there might be some significant support. This is a bit old, so it prolly underestimates how much. Did you see the map of the WB? There are settlements throughout it. Six years ago, they were mostly just outside Jerusalem.......now the Israelis have taken over the entire WB. Its astounding the arrogance that has led to this development. Meanwhile, the US continues to subsidize this land and water grab. Watch this AU documentary.......watch how this WB settler tells the reporter how she and A Sharon planned the land grab because God 'promised' the land to the Jews. Watch how the Israeli military takes kids in the middle of the nite.......not during the day because it creates too much of a scene........and interrogates them. Watch how the Arab kids have to be escorted to school by the Israeli military because the settlers try to stone them:VIDEO First the good news: Influential Jews are against settlement expansion 3 to 1 Excuse me when I say this but fuck American Jews. They are doing nothing to stop this. The Israelis are doing to the Arabs what the Germans did the Jews short of the final solution, and I suspect that's coming next. And I am disgusted with Obama that he has done nothing to stop the American role in this mess. I have no love lost for the Arabs but if I was forced to choose a side, I would side with the Palestinians. What Israel is doing to the Arabs is unconscionable.............the Israeli extremists have taken over and the left in Israel is dead. I worry the same thing may happen in this country.
