http://www.state.gov/secretary/rm/2008/08/108910.h ... - jodimcmullen, on 08/26/2008, -0/+15Under the US-sponsored peace process initiated in Annapolis last November - and the "roadmap" initiative it is based on - Israel agreed to freeze settlement activity.
Peace Now said 1,000 new buildings, containing some 2,600 homes, were currently under construction in the settlements based pn arial photos of the area.
Our tax dollars help them do this. Don't you think we need to sanction Israel? - NickH29, on 08/26/2008, -0/+11What would we do if some foreign nation was building settlements on American soil that were defended by that nations military?
We are endless in criticizing the Palestinians but are so soft with the Israelis. More Palestinian civilians have been killed in this conflict than have Israelis but we justify the killing of Palestinians by labeling them as collateral damage or as terrorists and condemn the killing of Israelis.
If we had no military like the Palestinians what would we do to defend our country and families against a powerful and well funded military?
I'm not condoning the killing of civilians by anyone, just asking a question... which I already know the answer to.- kojaa, on 08/26/2008, -0/+4we would accept that and live peacefully and in harmony with the settlers who are stealing our land and putting us behind fences and walls...NOT
