Not Born in East Jerusalem

But they are taking over anyway.

"E. Jerusalem housing again an issue; New plans OK’d on eve of meeting" by Amy Teibel, Associated Press  / April 5, 2011

JERUSALEM — Israel says the Palestinians should not impose conditions for talks....  

As they themselves impose conditions for talks.

No wonder no one wants to talk to them.  Who wants to talk to an asshole?

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said he would not share Jerusalem with the Palestinians as part of a final peace deal....   

Isn't that a PRECONDITION?

In a separate development, police said yesterday that a well-known Arab Israeli actor, director, and political activist was gunned down in the West Bank town where he ran a drama school and community theater.  

Smells like zettler to me.

Juliano Mer Khamis was shot five times by one or more armed Palestinians in the Jenin refugee camp, investigators said. No one has claimed responsibility.

I would expect the AmeriKan media to report it that way.

"Israel slows OK of E. Jerusalem housing" April 12, 2011|Associated Press

JERUSALEM — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asked a government panel to put off final approval of 2,500 new apartments in East Jerusalem, an official said yesterday — a reflection of the intense international pressure Israel is under to avoid friction with the Palestinians.  

They are still going to build them, they are just going to wait until you are looking somewhere else.

The move came just as tensions were easing along Israel’s border with the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip, where a fragile quiet appeared to be taking hold after several days of escalation that raised fears of another major eruption of violence.

Amid reports of an unofficial, foreign-mediated cease-fire, Palestinian militants appeared to be stilling their rocket and mortar fire yesterday, and Israel was refraining from retaliating for previous attacks.
 
Yeah, poow widdle Iswael is always retaliating according to the AmeriKan media narrative. 

See why I am so sick of them?

However, Israel’s controversial foreign minister, Avigdor Lieberman, voiced concerns that any lull would merely allow Hamas to strengthen and regroup. He told Israel Radio that restraint was “a grave mistake’’ and that Israel’s main objective should be “the toppling of the Hamas regime.’’

Weeks of mortar and rocket fire at southern Israel — met by increasingly harsh Israeli reprisals — snowballed by last week into the most intense confrontation since Israel’s war in the Palestinian territory more than two years ago.

When rocket fire hit a school bus on the Israeli side of the border on Thursday, Israelis were outraged and the attack could have sent the two sides hurtling into another war. But the bus was nearly empty, no one died, and neither side seemed interested in a major face-off.  

Oh, the LINGERING STINK of a FALSE FLAG OPERATION!

There was no confirmation yesterday that cease-fire conditions had been nailed down. But life in southern Israel returned to normal, and both sides expressed readiness to halt their fire if the other would.  

That is what is really important to the AmeriKan media. 

How are things in Gaza?

The easing of tensions along the Gaza border came as the Palestinian Authority moved forward with plans to gain global recognition for an independent state.... 

Yeah, STRANGE that the ROCKETS START FLYING when the PALESTINIANS HAVE WORLD OPINION on their side!   

CUI BONO?!!
