JERUSALEM — An Israeli minister has predicted there will be 10,000 new settlers in the occupied West Bank over the next 10 months and insisted that a moratorium did not freeze but only limited construction.

"Over the next 10 months the population of 300,000 will grow by at least 10,000 residents," said Benny Begin, a minister without portfolio from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud party, in comments broadcast on public radio on Friday.

"Properly speaking, this is not a freeze. We are not planning to freeze life but only to impose certain limits on construction" in Israeli settlements in the West Bank, Begin said on Thursday night in Tel Aviv.

The moratorium excludes settlements in annexed Arab east Jerusalem and several thousand homes where construction has already started.

Its announcement drew criticism both from the Palestinians who say it falls far short of the total freeze they have been seeking and from settlers who oppose any restrictions.

Further controversy was certain to arise after the prime minister's office announced on Thursday that Netanyahu is pushing for some settlements to be declared national priority areas, which would entitle them to financial assistance.

Discuss.

BBC News - Fire attack on West Bank mosque

Palestinian residents of the village of Yasuf clashed with Israeli soldiers investigating the attack. Eyewitnesses say settlers were responsible.

Attacks on Palestinians by Jewish settlers are increasing. A number of incidents have been captured on video.

One of the slogans sprayed on the wall of the mosque in Yasuf read: "Get ready to pay the price," Israeli public radio reported. Another read: "We will burn you all."

Some hard-line settlers advocate a "price tag" policy under which they attack Palestinians in retaliation for any Israeli government measure they see as threatening Jewish settlements.

On Wednesday, thousands of Jewish settlers and their supporters staged a rally in Jerusalem in protest at a recently announced curb on settlement building in the West Bank.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has ordered a 10-month lull in permits for new settlement homes in the West Bank, not including East Jerusalem.

All Jewish settlements in the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, are illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.

The Palestinians need to either let the IDF police the area or expect more out of control Jewish settlers will cause trouble.
Unless the Palestinian eyewitnesses suspect they are mistaken about the identity of the criminals and realize an investigation will expose the truth.

Americans need to either let Mexican police patrol the streets or expect more out of control illegals.

Interesting argument

Right because the parallel is so strong, but only if you're too retarded to recognize the difference.

This is an entirely bogus issue. The populations of the four major Israeli towns in the West Bank will continue to grow and construction within their boundaries, laid out in the 1980's, will continue regardless of which party is in power in Israel. The only reason Abbas is taking such a hard line on this issue and rejecting negotiations with Israel is that the only issue that unites the Palestinians as a people is hostility towards Israel, and in his power struggle with Hamas Abbas is trying to show he is as anti Israeli as Hamas is. Netanyahu's temporary freeze on some construction in these West Bank Israeli towns was intended as a diplomatic gesture to help the Obama administration to wipe some of the mud off of its face and did not represent a policy change.

Settlers should be informed that their communities will be within the jurisdiction of the future Palestinian state. If they wish to live peacefully under Palestinian rule, they may remain. As for those who perpetrated the attack on the mosque, may they be killed by those they sought to oppress, Insha'Allah.

If the attacks on the Arabs are unprovoked, then I condemn ALL of the unprovoked attacks. However, there have been several attacks on Jewish synogogues in Israel by these Arab Muslims.

and, as we've seen before, the criminal actions of one muslim extends to the entire population kinda like the JEWISH actions of one JEW when assassinating Israeli PMs reflects on the whole JEWISH population...


oh wait....

anyone wanna venture a guess on if a muslim would get conjigul visits and hero status if acting like Yagil Amir? Or, more likely, an IDF death sentence for as many cast lead toddler fodder as can be picked off in the name of "self defense".

Arab settlers should be informed their communities are within the jurisdiction of sovereign Israeli territory, as established by international treaties and protected by international law.

...Thereby taking it from the Byzantines, who had received it from the Romans, who had taken it from the Hasmoneans, who had won it from the Macedonians, who had taken it from the Persians, who had taken it from the Babylonians, who had taken it from the Israelites, who had taken it via Biblically-sanctioned genocide from the Canaanites, who had taken it from the Ghassulians, who had taken it from the Yarkmukians, who had taken it from Neanderthals. All of this and many people have decided, for some reason, that the land rightfully belongs to European Jews.

Actually, a majority of Israelis are Sephardic... and Israeli isn't for a specific ethnic group, it is for a specific religion: Judaism!

Why are you so obsessed about Jews living in Israel? Too bad Hitler didn't kill them all, right?

Israel was established as a Jewish state by international treaty and affirmed by international law.

If you don't like it, tough sh*t.
