Israel to build more settler homes - Middle East - Al Jazeera English (http://english.aljazeera.net/news/middleeast/2011/03/20113137914633959.html)

"The Israeli cabinet has approved the building of hundreds of new homes for Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank, a day after five members of a settlement family were killed.

The Israeli prime minister's office said the approval was a stern political message to Palestinians following the incident in a remote settlement over the weekend.

A statement from Binyamin Netanyahu's office said the ministerial team on settlements decided on Saturday night to approve the construction of several hundred units at Gush Etzion, Maale Adumim, Ariel and Kyriat Sefer.

According to The Associated Press news agency, the prime minister's office said in a text message to reporters that the construction will be in major settlement blocs that Israel expects to hold on to in any final peace deal.

Netanyahu is expected to deliver a major policy speech soon, possibly proposing a Palestinian state within temporary borders as a way out of a longstanding negotiations impasse. But the Palestinians vehemently oppose such proposal, as it falls short of a contiguous Palestine state."

Cool beans. And why not?..it is their land, after all.

true that ... any Jewish person, no matter how many prior generations lived in USA, Russia or Eastern Europe, has the right to return to that area and displace any Palestinian family

and this policy is supported with US tax dollars

I could care less about that 'ancient history' stuff. I look only at how Israel won that land fair and square by sacrificing their own blood and thoroughly kicking the collective arses of the Arab countries that tried to wipe Israel off the map.

Israel must be doing all right, they are building homes , we aren't.
