| Obama has not only doomed his nation but himself with this harbinger |
As my readers well know there is a linkage between disasters, terror
events and anti-Israel policies. I think with this action the U.S. has doomed
itself to another disaster. I have no idea what that disaster or event may be
but the 9-11 date is looming over us.
The US rebuked Israel Sunday overnight
after it announced a land appropriation in the West Bank, calling the move
“counterproductive” to efforts to achieve a two-state solution between Israel
and the Palestinians, and urging Jerusalem to reverse the decision.
Some 400 hectares (988 acres) in the Gush
Etzion settlement bloc near Bethlehem were declared “state land, on the instructions of the political echelon” by the
military-run Civil Administration on Sunday.
The notice published on Sunday by the
Israeli military gave no reason for the land appropriation decision, while
Israeli media reported the move was in response to the kidnapping and murder of
the three Israeli teens. Tensions stoked by the kidnapping quickly spread to
Israel’s border with Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas, and the two sides engaged in
a seven-week war that ended on Tuesday with an Egyptian-brokered ceasefire.
Peace Now, which opposes Israeli settlement activities in the West Bank, territory the Palestinians seek
for a state, said the appropriation was meant to turn a site where 10 families
now live adjacent to a Jewish seminary into a permanent settlement.
Construction of a major settlement at the
location, known as “Gva’ot”, has been mooted by Israel since 2000. Last year,
the government invited bids for the building of 1,000 housing units at the site.
Peace Now said the land seizure was the largest announced
by Israel in the West Bank since the 1980s and that anyone with
ownership claims had 45 days to appeal. A local Palestinian mayor said
Palestinians owned the tracts and harvested olive trees on them.
