Israeli settlements are expanding
As Israel faces international condemnation over its plan to build 153 new settlement homes in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, the watchdog group Peace now reports that Israel's defence minister has approved the construction of the new Jewish-only homes last week. The plan sparked swift criticism from the UN Secretary-General who called the settlements "an affront to the Palestinian people and to the international community." In response, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Ban Ki-moon's criticism gives "a tailwind to terrorism" and that the "UN lost its neutrality and moral force a long time ago."
The Israeli settlements are expanding and flourishing. More and more people are moving into the West Bank. Israel has everything their way now! They've got all of Israel and they've got all of Jerusalem and they want to keep it all and they don't have any intention of sharing it with anybody.
