#1 the headline here is based on Iran Press TV's reading of Bibi's words, which to me seem tendentious.

He said it was a temporary move. That to me is not a promise to start building again when its over - its a message to the Arabs that he expects reciprocation - at the very least a PA return to negotiations, and probably some diplo concessions from the Arab states. IF he does not get that, THEN he will start building in the settlements again.

#2 Duh! Arabs can live in Israel, ergo: Jews can live in the west bank of the Jordan.

Reminder: over 2,000,000 Christians have been coerced out of their Holy Lands since 1948. Yet, the numbers of Israeli Arabs increases exponentially. Someone is being screwed and it isn't the arab.

#3 Arabs can live in Israel, ergo: Jews can live in the west bank of the Jordan.

Except it doesn't work that way, Enver Crerens8778. A major point of Palestinian 'negotiations' has ever been that upon conclusion the Palestinian territories must be completely free of all Jewish communities.

I'm not at all certain what the rest of your post means. Perhaps you would be good enough to explain it to me in smaller words? Thank you.
