Starting to get it?
These Extremists reject any 'peace' which would require them to accept their legal and moral obligations, and will continue their war to wipe Palestine off the map (which will perpetuate the threat and misery experienced by all Israelis) until they succeed, or until someone stands up to stop them.

Israeli Housing Minister to permit 1460 new housing units in East Jerusalem settlements

In another blatant violation of the promise made in Annapolis (and International Law) in September 2007 by Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert to halt settlement construction (which we all predicted was a LIE), the Israeli Housing Minister Ze'ev Boim announced Friday that he will be issuing permits for 1,460 new housing units in three Israeli settlements built on Palestinian land in East Jerusalem.
(Proving, once and for all, that it's the Palestinians have no 'partner for peace', and Zionism only engages in these phony processes in order to avoid the backlash of the International Community, while intentionally stalling peace indefinitely.)
The announcement came just days before the Israeli Prime Minister plans to visit Washington to report on the progress of the peace process.
(or further coordinate the illegal war on Iran, under the cover of this facade ...)
After the so-called 'Annapolis Summit', which was a one-day meeting between Israeli and Palestinian factions (but not its Government) in Annapolis, MD in the US, Ehud Olmert announced that all new construction in Israeli settlements must be approved by both himself and the Defense Minister. But despite that promise, construction has continued unabated in a number of West Bank settlements.
(Because it was just one more lie ...)
Housing Minister Ze'ev Boim said in an interview with the Kol Hai radio station on Friday that the permits for the 1,460 new units were meant as a "gift to the city [of Jerusalem] on the 41st anniversary of its emancipation." This is a reference to the creation of the state of Israel on Palestinian land in 1947, and the subsequent disenfranchisement of the hundreds of thousands of indigenous Palestinians living on the land.
(Which this is designed to further perpetuate.)
The settlements in question are: Har Homa, built on land stolen from the Palestinian residents of Beit Sahour municipality, Pisgat Ze'ev, built on land stolen from the Palestinian village of Hizma, and Beitar Ilit, built on land stolen from Palestinians south of Jerusalem. The new units to be constructed will be 120 units in Har Homa, 600 units in the settlement of Beitar Ilit and 700 units in Pisgat Ze'ev.
In April, when the permits for the new units gained initial approval, Israeli journalist Uzi Benjamin wrote in the Israeli paper Ha'aretz, "There is no doubt about it: The ultra-Orthodox factions have become the spearhead of the settlement enterprise over the Green Line, and they are busy competing with one another over which of them will lead it...Olmert tries to pretend that his response to their demands is mere small change, but in fact they are dictating the agenda with regard to settlement over the Green Line and, in this way, they have an influence over the entire Israeli-Palestinian arena."
(Ha'Aretz has since begun purging the Journalists from its operation. FREE WORLD OF CENSORSHIP ~~ PURGE AT HaARETZ NEWS israel.indymedia.org/newswire/display/9130/index.php )
In 2006, when these three settlements were widely expanded with the approval of the Israeli government, Palestinians pleaded with Israel to cease the ever-increasing encroachment onto Palestinian land in the West Bank. Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said at the time, "This act of expanding settlements, is a choice for more obstacles and more problems and more violence. I really hope that the new government will stop this." Instead, the government of Ehud Olmert announced a plan to lay down final borders for the Israeli state by 2008.
Over 30,000 Orthodox Jews (Zionist Extremists) live in Beitar Ilit alone. All Israeli settlements in the West Bank and east Jerusalem are in direct violation of international law and the Fourth Geneva Convention, to which Israel is a signatory.
