Kerry: Settlements Are ‘Illegitimate’

Guess I will make this All Palestine Day…….I have several posts that I feel the need to share with my readers……

Almost weekly the Israeli government sets about destroying Palestinian crops, homes and lives….all in the need to build more settlements……an act which the whole world condemns……….but NO one is willing to force a stoppage…….

Now the US Secretary of State, John Kerry has weighed in on the subject……..

(Newser) – John Kerry threw a rhetorical jab at Israel, rebuking it for its latest round of West Bank settlement construction, after meeting with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas in Bethlehem today. “Let me emphasize that the position of the United States is that we consider now, and have always considered, the settlements to be illegitimate,” the secretary of state said. “I want to make it extremely clear that at no time did the Palestinians in any way agree … that they could somehow condone or accept the settlements.”

The statement is unusually strong, Mike Hanna at al-Jazeera observes; usually the US says the settlements are “not helpful.” Kerry also used the visit with Abbas to announce $75 million in aid to Palestine. Earlier today, he met with Benjamin Netanyahu. Kerry used that visit to espouse optimism about the peace deal, but Netanyahu said he was “concerned … because I see the Palestinians continuing with incitement, continuing to create artificial crisis, continuing to avoid historic decisions that are necessary to make genuine peace.”

Stop!  Every time Israel goes about destroying everything Palestinian in the name of settlements it reminds me of the days when a certain country invaded its neighbors so their would be more room for the ‘certain’ people…….

America has done this piece of crap for decades….they are all outraged at the treatment of Palestinians but NO ONE is willing to do anything to stop it….other than talk…..and as the sages say….”talk is cheap!”

I am sick of these twats destroying a persons livelihood in the name of expansion…Hell Israel has a whole damn desert in which to build their settlements……

The world needs to stop talking and start acting…..force these people to act like civilized people…..I know their holy book is full of destruction and death….but these fools live in the 21st century….start acting like it!

America is a toothless dragon……all talk…and you wonder why there are those that hate Israel……take a good look at their actions…pretty self-explanatory……

Is it not about time that the US and the rest of the civilized world hold Israel up to standards?  It is time to stop walking on egg shells when dealing with Israel…..any debt owed them for the past has been paid and in full!

  1. Yes, there is an ugly side to Israeli politics that simply doesn’t get enough exposure. We can thank fundamentalists Christians for that who see the expansion of Israeli sites as part of the scriptural prophecy that precedes the Rapture. A religious contrivance that will essentially treat those Israelis as outsiders.

    1. Larry, I tire of watching the US walk on eggshells when dealing with the Israelis…like I said before any debt that was owed them has been paid and in FULL! Time to make them live in a civilized world…..
