What is your opinion of the (7 SEP 2009) announcement by Israel to build more than 450 new homes in the occupied West Bank? Would you have preferred a construction freeze as requested by the US?

• That would be a radical step to take.

• Why? When a country gives financial aid it's not radical to request a cessation of acts it considers wrong. The US has made it clear - under democrat and republican presidencies - that the continued expansion of the settlements is wrong and detrimental to peace in the region. Everyone seems to agree about that (except the Israeli government). So why should the US continue to fund Israel when Israel takes no notice of these requests.

• The Palestinians owns the land. The Ashkenazi Jews 90% of the Jewish population in Israel are all European Jews. European decent. None of them are Middle Eastern decent.

  Read: Myth of the Jewish People by an Israeli Professor.

  Why are these "chosen people" Refusing the Palestinians right to exists? Why are Americans supporting this with their tax money? Why isn't our Military protecting Palestine?
  .
  If Russia were to build homes in Georgia, the US would be crying about it.
  .
  Israel has already been give a 50% partition by the UN. Looking at the map now, WHERE IS PALESTINE? Who's wiping who off the map?
  .
  Kicking families out of their homes onto the street and letting Israeli settlers move in is A WAR CRIME.

• I totally agree with you verbal_assassin. Most Americans are extremely uneducated about the crimes the jews are committing over Palestininans there, lots of others either don't care, refuse or deny to see the truth or are Jews themselves.....??? And they dare critize Hitler for his crimes, now his victims are repeating history with them genociding muslims and christians there... I have seen it from my own eyes, and all what I've seen should be shown on television to all here in the US as it really is. They will change their minds overnight, guaranteed...
