| via Al Guardian - EFL Israel flouts road map with new settlement Conal Urquhart in Tel Aviv - Friday August 6, 2004 Israel has announced plans for thousands of homes in a new settlement near Jerusalem, ignoring its undertaking in the road map to freeze settlement activity. The proposed settlement, on 1,518 hectares (3,750 acres) of West Bank land, would be sited between Jerusalem and the settlement of Ma'ale Adumim and provide a bridge between them. It has been planned secretly for several months and yesterday bulldozers and diggers were preparing roads for fu ture building. The settlement would ring Palestinian east Jerusalem, making it impossible for east Jerusalem to be the capital of a Palestinian state. Earlier this week the US condemned Israel's announcement that a further 600 homes would be built in Ma'ale Adumim, where 28,000 Israelis live. The US has also said that Israel has done little to dismantle the illegal outposts which have sprung up in recent years. Britain has also expressed concern at the expansion of settlements in violation of the road map. ...more - if you can take it... How can anyone, anyone, still maintain the farce that the Road Map is now, or ever was, viable. Certainly, after years of utter and abject failure, amidst the imploding Paleo balance of competing tyrannies, and given the obscenely obvious financial rape of all the suckers who've sunk time and money into PaleoLand it seems beyond absurd that anyone would try to float this slab of lead. There are a lot of insane people in the world. Many work in the MSM, at State, and at the UK FM. Wotta seriously lame pretense. Only the Diplodinks would be so twittish and only the MSM so gullible. |
