Pounding on Palestine

The logic of the jungle cannot produce a natural order among humankind. For such a relationship to work in the animal world, the weak party must continually show submission by exposing its neck and belly to the dominant party, and the strong party must continually strut its stuff. The Palestinian conflict endures after more than half a century is because the strong party is unconscionably greedy and the weak party is constitutionally incapable of being submissive or forgetting its dispossession.

Israel plans new homes in West Bank settlements

Israel plans to build 690 new homes in two Jewish settlements in the occupied West Bank despite an obligation under a U.S.-backed peace "road map" to halt such construction on land Palestinians seek for a state.

The Israel Lands Administration, a government agency, issued a tender inviting bids on 348 plots in the Maaleh Adumim settlement and 342 in Beitar Ilit.

A spokesman for the Peace Now settlement watchdog group said:
The government is building hundreds of housing units in the territories against its commitments to the road map and Israeli voters.
