I guess we can look forward to this being reposted another two weeks as well as the past ones.
Well, there goes another piece of the high ground.

In general, I am a supporter of Israel, but not when they do things like this. Since this is against the U.S. policy and money is fungible, whenever Israel spends money on things like this that amount should be withdrawn from aid packages to them. There should also be a penalty amount taken from any aid packages. So if these new homes cost $70 Million to construct, the U.S. should subtract $70 million (probably more like $210 Million) from our aid to them. Foreign aid should be used to encourage good behavior and discourage bad behavior.
This is it, Joe. Time to drop the niceties and tell Bibi, Likud, and the “settlers movement” that if they insist on a slo-mo invasion the United States ain’t gonna be their besties any more. No more weapons, no more automatic blockage in the U.N. unless and until they have new elections.
Making a lie of every claim about how protecting their citizens is their primary concern.
Israel is colonizing Palestine.
Another far-right landgrab, probably under the pretense of “security.”
Edit: yeah it is.
>A minister has said the construction is a response to a deadly Palestinian attack near Maale Adumim two weeks ago.
Why do these antisemites hate us so much? They won’t even let us steal their land.
Why is this story only 66% upvoted? Is it wrong?
So, like, what is the Western-approved Palestinian response here? After Oct 7, every Israel-aligned talking head has been asking the question «so what is Israel supposed to do?». So answer me this: **what are Palestinians supposed to do?** Does Palestine have the right to exist? Does Palestine have the right to defend itself?
Because if we give Israel a taste of its own medicine, Palestinians should at this point be building something like 34000 new Palestinan homes on Israeli land, right? Because that’s what a proportional response is, right?
This is ethnic cleansing, no? Did they not confiscate these lands for “military purposes” then permit residential development? It’s hard to believe Israel is in the right when they do things like this which makes peace impossible. They have no plan for Gaza that actually eradicates Hamas and they have no plan for dealing with radicalization (rather only plans that seem to promote it such as this).
Don’t they get tired of constant conflict. The cycle of violence continues.
This will definitely help the situation. /s
To the surprise of no one
Oh wow, they’re going to rebuild homes for Gazans? How incredibly charitable.
Remember this the next time some paid online shill tries to tell you that Israel just wants to live in peace.
Nothing says “Israel has the right to defend itself” like seizing even more of other people’s land to build a neighborhood
And anyone who resists is called a terrorist. Settlers are the root cause of the violence in Israel.
Honestly that sounds like the last place I’d wanna live for the next 30 years
I still don’t understand why we do not sanction this shit.
Steal some more land… that should calm things down.
Apartheid expansionism.
>Mr Smotrich put forward the plans on 22 February, hours after three Palestinian gunmen opened fire on cars on a road near Maale Adumim, killing one Israeli and wounding several others. He said the attack “must have a determined security response but also a settlement response”.
Can anyone expand on this rationale for me? Is he saying that attacks by Palestinian people against illegal settlers can be resolved through more illegal settlements?
Is that land part of Israel? If not, then by what right does Israel “approve plans”?
This is why the Palestinians are mad all the time. Even when the news cycle isn’t focused on them, they live in the constant situation of having what little they have left chipped away piece by piece. Then violence flares up and our news stations spend all this time with the straight face saying “But how did this happen? The region must be very complicated!”
Weird way to say Israel expands colony by building 3400 homes in occupied Palestine
Approving new homes where Palestinians are already on it. Yeah, fuck these people.
Netenyahu is catering to his base, undermining a shit load of Israeli claims. Leaving West Bank alone won’t stop Hamas or the PLA, but it’s pretty hard to argue that security operations in Gaza are not about stealing land, when Israel is literally stealing land next door.
Far-right and religious conservatives are fucking up Israel, just like everywhere else.
There need to be sanctions on this government and especially the settlers.
Oh ffs. Evil cunts.
Goddamn it
Ethnic cleansing
Biden needs to stop this immediately. No further funding if Israel wants to literally slap the US taxpayer in the face.
How bout no.
Why?
For gods sake. At least pretend there is a way to mutual acceptance.
Oh, are they building homes for Palestinians to replace the ones they destroyed in a show of good will to prove they aren’t trying to displace them and take the land?

Oh dear
Of course they did.
