The settlement movement while to Islamic nations is seen as illegal reveals that there was enough empty land in Mandatory Palestine in the 1937 to absorb millions of Jews and still have a Federation including Syria Iraq and Eygpt so the Arabs would have equal numbers It was not really just in the case of the Ottoman Empire to refuse Jews the right to settle in their ancient homeland from Eastern Europe particularly Czarist Russia in which their was a fierce persecution of the Jews. Also the Palestinian agricultural people's had the right to stay on their land if there were exchanges of owners except for vital infrastructure projects as happens in China when massive dams are built . Even in the Democratic Human Rights democracies road widening or sky rails can lead to rushed property sales . In the Future Deep Underground vast construction of deep nuclear shelters will be needed in the Holy Land . Peoples have have to give up city blocks for this .

Angela and Mr.Obama?! The duo responsible for the almost total disintegration of Europe and USA? What a swell pair....

The UN, EU and USA have lost their legitimacy in the eyes of those who support Israel. The USA and EU and UN gave guarantees that Iran would not develop ballistic missiles and did nothing when they recently launched multiple missiles. The UN guaranteed that Southern Lebanon would not become an armed zone for Hezbollah and then the UN allows it right in front of their noses. Build Israel, Build!!

If all the Israelis were to jump into the Mediterranean then the Pals would complain that the Israelis were denying the fishing grounds. America and the UN are rapidly becoming the same entity. Israel should disregard them both.

What's wrong with this picture? obama, the worst US president ever. Thankfully, his term is almost over. BUILD MORE !!!

talk

Should 'occupy themselves with the real problems of the world and not 2 squire meters of land! The EU should shut up with their illegal settlement building in Judea & Samaria paid for by ignorant European taxpayers who see their pensions shrink and healthcare spiral because of their leaders spending drifts to refugees pouring into Europe, settlements in "Palestine", wars in the ME and good salaries for themselves.

Dead Sea !

be more concerned that Christians are facing extinction and genocide rather than to criticize Israel? And, where were they as 6 million European Jews were exterminated????? Shameful rhetoric by shameful players led by Muslim obama. ( but, not for much longer, thank G-d!) KEEP BUILDING BABY !!!!

Obama isn't the worst US President. Just because he doesn't do stupid sh*t like invade countries on questionable intelligence doesn't mean sh*t. If Israel has the balls it could strike Iran, but it is afraid. I noticed you didn't mention any other leaders or countries when they are all saying the same thing about Israels alleged land grab. If there was a UN vote today no country would side with Israel except the US, so shut your fly trap and look at facts. If your country has a problem with the US, it can always severe economic and military ties and boycott US products or companies from operating in Israel and get some new friends like India, China, Russia etc and see how that works out. It sounds harsh, but that is what the US did to Iran for many years. I never heard of Israel sanctioning any country pertaining to Iran. Have you?

And whatever they reported it as land grabs it's a very good news. Please grab all of them.

the so-called partition plan was set up in such a way that the tiny jewish state, barely a state, was meant to be destroyed by the large invading arab armies. truman and the rest of the world put an arms embargo on the new sovereign jewish state, with the exception of czechoslovakia. israel lost fully 1% of its population during the war of independence. yet, israel has survived and become strong and flourishing with a strong army. yet the nations still collude to undermine the jewish state since they cannot abide a strong jewish state. they have learned nothing from history. the nations, including obama, cry crocodile tears over a little piece of land that never belonged to any sovereign by right of law. they will never cry over the muslim imperial wars of a thousand years or the five hundred year rule by the ottoman empire. nor do they cry buckets over the genocides carried out throughout the muslim world.

if they accuse you of "land grabbing", the answer is to actually grab land. if they accuse you of controlling the media (what a joke!), the answer is to actually control the media (israel and conservative allies such as evangelicals) should team up and actually buy the media and control it. the answer is to double down, apologizing just weakens you and emboldens your enemies

Israel needs to stop playing games with the monstrous Two State Final Solution. Just admit this tiny land is ours and "Palestine" is forever fictional. This is obvious to anyone with half a brain anyway.

Agree! Funny to read in Dutch newspaper that they 'don't understand what has happened and 'why Israel is demolishing houses of poor Palestinians who are now homeless including....yes the 'poor children. Not a word about them building illegal buildings and theft from their taxpaying citizens to build these illegal buildings. But, Europeans don't seem to have a problem with drowned fugitive children or the thousands who are living like street dogs on EU soil. No Europeans only problem are the Palestinian children.
