    Israel Expedites Plans to Bisect Palestine
    Israel aims to kill Palestinian statehood with new settlement plan

    Israel last week authorized new settlement construction in the controversial area of East Jerusalem known as E1 in a punitive attempt to nullify a contiguous Palestinian state following the successful UN-bid for implicit recognition of Palestinian statehood.



    The project Netanyahu’s government began moving forward on Friday would cut the West Bank itself in half, dividing its north from its south while barricading off a bit of Jerusalem in the bargain, and with it, in all likelihood, the plans to name the Arab sections of the city as Palestine’s capital,” writes Karl Vick, columnist for Time.

    “The impact,” specialist Danny Seiedmann tells Vick, “is basically the creation of facts on the ground that would make the two-state solution dead. It’s not only a game-changer, it’s a game-ender.”

    The settlement plan exposes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s intention to prevent the viability of a Palestinian state at all costs.

    Not only is it clear Israel is using Palestine’s successful UN bid to punish them, but Israeli officials were quoted as saying that the decision to build settlements in E1 was also intended as retaliation against the Obama administration for not already giving the green light for such plans.

    President George Bush gave the green light in a 2004 letter to the Israeli leadership that said, “we no longer feel that we are bound by any commitment on E-1.”

    “What that suggests to Washington is that Jerusalem was waiting for an opportunity to do this, that it was designed to provoke anger in the Administration, and that they picked what they thought was a convenient moment,” Former U.S. Ambassador to Israel Dan Kurtzer told Haaretz. “It was a low blow.”

    While the White House has denounced the plans as counterproductive, they have done nothing of substance in response and continue to support Israel economically, militarily, and diplomatically.

    It is horribly comical the way Israel was born of the exact same type of UN ruling it refuses for Palestine. Most of the middle east was unhappy yet went along with it. When it was discussed how unfair the situation was the Israeli answer kept going back to "The UN Says So".

    Now the UN means nothing to Israel who, to my knowledge, has violated more UN resolutions and laws than any other country. Israel also refuses to conform to any of the arms inspections etc it demands of Iran etc.

    And now Israel is whining about the international backlash.

    Israel and the UN squaring off. Here we go (again). The UN is still waiting for Israel to sign the non-proliferation treaty. You know, the one Iran signed with us decades ago, allowing IAEA inspectors in and out of their nuclear facilities. The one that guarantees them the right to peacefully pursue nuclear energy, which our own government is ignoring by sanctioning them. Benjamin actually has the audacity to say Iran is not observing the IAEA inspection protocols. How does he even know what those protocols even are? He must have a copy of Iran's agreement. Here's a great (short) video that explains the irony and hypocrisy, especially as it relates to Israel and the non-proliferation treaty. This video is powerful.
