    Palestinians condemn east Jerusalem housing plan

    JERUSALEM (AP) — Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat is condemning a plan to build more than 2,000 housing units in an east Jerusalem neighborhood.

    The plan allots 2,610 units for Givat Hamatos, a Jewish neighborhood between Jerusalem and Bethlehem, about two miles (five kilometers) apart.

    Erekat said Friday the plan "makes a mockery of ... efforts to bring about a just and lasting peace."

    Palestinians want the West Bank and east Jerusalem as parts of their future state. They say they won't resume peace talks until construction there is halted.

    Israel says such issues should be discussed in negotiations.

    Jerusalem City Councilman Meir Margalit doubted the plan will pass when it comes up for approval in 60 days. "There is no sign that a new neighborhood will be built there," he said.

      Pele’- פלא stine, you will yet be free! You seek peace thru peaceful means and they, Israel, seeks to temp you to violence. Pele’- פלא stine, do not fall in their trap. Let the oppressor's shame be their own.

        Jesus said, “I have a plan for you, I want you to do well and I will not hurt you, I want to give you hope and a future.” Jeremiah 29:11
        Jesus knows you are hurting and you do not know which way to turn in your life, you are tired of all the hurt in this world. All you have to do is ask Jesus to help you. He is waiting for you now.

      Jewish fundamentalist rationale for seizing Arab land
      “They argue that what appears to be confiscation of Arab owned land for subsequent settlement by Jews is in reality not an act of stealing but one of sanctification. From their perspective the land is being redeemed by being transferred from the satanic to the divine sphere...To further this process, the use of force is permitted whenever necessary...Halacha permits Jews to rob non-Jews in those locales wherein Jews are stronger than non-Jews.” Israel Shahak and Norton Mezvinsky’s “Jewish Fundamentalism in Israel”

        Guess what, who support these zionist theives, the other top world theives, they are supported by the united states and British, we stole land from the indians and the Brits stole everything from the entire world, so theives are supported by strong theives, but these zionist are the losers, soon or later they won't a place in live in any planet of the world, what these evil have done to the humankind they must pay for their sins, and there will be no place for them to hide and no protection

      Some in Israel are just trying to provoke a violent reaction from the Palestinians, while probably trying to strengthen thier barginning position.

      Before Jordan had that part of Jerusalem, it was full of Jews. The Muslim nation of Jordan did real ethnic cleansing which lasted from 1948 to 1967. There was no "Palestinian" entity in that part of the city. - Just Arab squatters under Jordan. ALl of Jerusalem is Israel's. Fakestinians need to go to their designated land - Jordan and shut up.

      You must be someone who bailed on his "Brothers" to live in this "Zionistic" democratic country called "America" for peace and security. You must be feeling pretty guilty. You are nothing but a hypocrite and a traitor to your people!

      in the year 3 BCE in a little country village of Nazarene Galley PALESTINE a man and woman named joseph and marry gave birth to the son of god. the Angle gabriel came to them and told them you are to name him Jesus. That's what I was taught when I went to ministry school. I was taught Christ was born in PALESTINE, not Israel.
      For the record I reject religion, I'n my opinion it's based on fiction, But there are many very good laws from the bible we should adopt, Things like do not kill or murder, Respect you mother and father. Forgiveness and charity. The things that are about treating each other good are good things. using religion to steal and murder is just that murder and theft.
