JERUSALEM - Vice President Joe Biden, during a visit that had been aimed at repairing strained U.S.-Israeli ties and kickstarting Mideast peace talks, on Tuesday sharply denounced Israel's approval of the construction of 1,600 new homes for Jews in disputed east Jerusalem.
First, whoever wrote this saying 'disputed east Jerusalem' obviously doesnt favor Israel. Jerusalem has been annexxed 40 years ago, and is a part of Israel. The expension of the neighborhoods where Jewish people leave is such a way in any city. They are BUILDING new consruction, not getting rid of other homes. Yes, there is places to build in them hills and part of Jerusalem. So get it into your head - Jerusalem is in Israel. I dont hear people saying that California is a part of Mexico because it was a long time ago. Or this city was part of the Indian Reservation. Jeez.
I've said it before and i'll say it again and again. A fucked up situation resulting from creating a country that shouldn't exist. The powers of the West take such an interest because they created the damn situation in the first place.
Israel was there 2,000 years ago, and should be there now. Taken over by others, it is back where it should be. As for Palestine, from 1948 to 1967, they should of been a state, however, talk to Jordan and Egypt on why there chose not to have a Palestinian state.
not a big deal to you or me, but it is a big deal to the local palestinian families who live in the homes about to be bulldozed to make room for more of God's Chosen Ones.
Yes, lets bulldoze somoe homes in the states too if we beleive everything you say. You forget a simple thing - a Palestinian state could of happened anytime now. It is the radical wings of the Palestinians that dont want it.
You havent been to Israel - you have freedom, great technology, debates, beautiful beaches, excellent literacy, and some brilliant minds.
In Palestine, the government doesnt want this - you can get killed just for wanting to have peace.
When you understand this simple notion, you might be more enlightened.
As for Biden - whatever
