jim harris commented on the diary post Israel’s Bold Peace Move! by jim harris.
Papau, Palestinians are not given building permits by the Occupation government (that they have no right to vote for, or participate in. that’s why they call it “apartheid”) to build in much of the West Bank. It was not a response to any kind of action on the part of villagers. It is simply the [...]

Israeli leaders said that this gesture was sure to show the entire world that Israel is serious about making peace with the Palestinian people.
Thursday morning, Sep. 15, 2011, without notice, Israeli military bulldozers demolished a home and water cistern in Al Aqaba, leaving 22 people, including 12 children, homeless. The military bulldozers also ripped deep [...]

It seems so sad at times, Obama sometimes is like a boy with unrequited love with the most desirable girl in high school, but with a few misinterpreted words he doesn’t get anything but scorn from her and her friends.
