World In a move sure to anger Palestinians and frustrate Western proponents of a freeze on settlement construction, a city official said approval was given to develop a flashpoint neighborhood from which Palestinians were evicted last year. Word of the move came as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu completed an unusually low-profile meeting in Washington with U.S. President Barack Obama for fence-mending talks, after their open spat over East Jerusalem earlier this month. Netanyahu says he regretted the bad timing of an announcement of East Jerusalem building plans during the visit of U.S. Vice President Joe Biden two weeks ago, which Washington called "insulting." But on Monday he insisted before an audience of influential American Jews that "Jerusalem is our capital" and building will continue there as Israel sees fit. His defiant assertion coincided with a public slap to Israel from Britain, which announced it was expelling an Israeli diplomat over the forgery of British passports used by the suspected killers of a Hamas commander in Dubai. Israel said it regretted Britain's decision but commentators on Wednesday predicted no meaningful damage to bilateral ties. Irish, French, German and Australian passports were also forged by the assassination squad, and their authorities were expected to examine Britain's evidence implicating Israel. In a comparatively rare public complaint, Saudi Arabia on Wednesday asked major powers involved in Middle East peace-making for "clarifications about Israel's arrogant policy and its insistence on defying international will." ONGOING PROCESS Israeli media said Netanyahu was surprised by news of the latest plans to build apartments in the Sheikh Jarrah district, which has become a focal point for anti-settler demonstrations since Palestinian residents were evicted. Chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat said it was "part of Israel's attempt to forcibly end any Palestinian presence in East Jerusalem, and to foreclose any hope of reaching agreement on the core issue of Jerusalem in line with international law." "There is growing international frustration with Israel over the actions and decisions it is taking," he said. "Israel is digging itself into a hole that it will have to climb out of if it is serious about peace." Speaking on Army Radio, Jerusalem counselor Elisha Peleg said the plan had been advancing for months. The latest move was just "a technical step" on the way to approving 100 homes. "We will continue to build all over Jerusalem, in Sheikh Jarrah and Ras al-Amud as well," he said, naming another Palestinian neighborhood in the Jerusalem area. Erekat said President Mahmoud Abbas would insist that Israel revoke the Sheikh Jarrah project, as well as plans published during the Biden visit to build 1,600 houses at another site. Israel annexed East Jerusalem as part of its capital after capturing it in the 1967 war. Its claim is not recognized internationally. Palestinians want East Jerusalem as capital of a future state they are seeking in the occupied West Bank. In Washington, the Obama-Netanyahu talks yielded no sign of a breakthrough in the stalled peace process, which has been suspended for 15 months since Israel launched its offensive on the Islamist Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. In a sign of lingering tensions, the Obama administration withheld from Netanyahu some of the usual trappings of a White House visit. Press coverage of the Oval Office talks was barred, and the leaders made no public statements afterward. "President Obama and the prime minister met privately for an hour and a half, the atmosphere was good," Netanyahu spokesman Nir Chefetz said in a statement several hours after. He said advisers "continued discussions on the ideas raised at the meeting" and would hold further talks on Wednesday.

All that the United States stands for is anathema to radical Islam. Iran’s Revolutionary Guard label Israel the ‘Little Satan’ and the United States the ‘Great Satan’.Even were the U.S. to announce a total military and economic boycott of Israel tomorrow, nothing would induce radical Islamists to lay down arms against America. Radical Islam is at war with the world, including Muslims who do not think like them. Radical Islam will never be satisfied until “God’s Law” their “Sharia Law” has replaced “Man’s Law” everywhere in the world. We call these self righteous killers for their God “terrorists” but they see themselves as heroes and martyrs. Islamic civilization is at war with itself and trying to plot a course into their future. Western civilization is collateral damage. Surely, no one is so stupid to think that flying airplanes into tall buildings and killing 4000 people is going to destroy America. Surely, no one is so stupid to think that sending katyusha rockets into Israel from Palestine is going to destroy Israel. No, the real intent of these actions was and is to inflame the passions of Muslims and force them to choose sides in the RELIGIOUS war radical Islam has declared and waged. Radical Islam’s objective is to attract the hearts and minds of Muslims worldwide and create a new Islamic future by leading them to war. Muslims are individually and collectively responding and deciding for themselves what their future as a civilization is to be. Muslims have yet to collectively decide about “Sharia Law” courts and whether to separate church and state. Radical Islam formally declared and waged war against the western world ultimately taking down the Trade Towers. Radical Islam had hoped the west would respond by attacking Muslims in general and Saudi Arabia in particular but the west did not do that. The world and the nature of war changed after 911. We stated that we would attack terrorists anywhere in the world and we would also attack anyone who provided terrorists safe harbour. We do not care whether the terrorists are in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Palestine, Somalia or wherever. We have no desire to take over or occupy those countries BUT we must destroy the terrorists and their evil ideology no matter where they are if western civilization is to survive this assault by radical Islam. If we can help the people in the countries we find ourselves fighting terrorists in then we will do so. It is important to realize that terrorists hide their true intentions behind other causes. The Jews have lamented the loss of their home, the loss of Jerusalem for 3000 years. You can not solve a problem until and unless you identify it. Some people are convinced that there would be peace if we gave up Israel and Jerusalem. I do not think so. Extremist Islam was a problem long before Israel even existed. As a matter of federal law — the Jerusalem Embassy Act of 1995 — it is US policy that “Jerusalem should remain an undivided city in which the rights of every ethnic and religious group are protected.’’ The western world cares for religious freedom and it hardly matters who provides it if it is not a sham. The Muslims say they believe in religious freedom but it is a sham because many Muslims say they desire a religious state. Jerusalem requires religious freedom obtained through separation of church and state for a stable peaceful co-existence. Only a western style democracy can do this! An Islamic State could NOT do this. John F. Kennedy said Israel “carries the shield of democracy and honours the sword of freedom,” and Bill Clinton declared America’s relationship with Israel would “never vary from its allegiance to shared values.” Israel is a democracy supportive of western culture and values. It should be clear to all that Israel is our friend while Arab cultures are not! Last June, Obama supported existing US policy and said “Let me be clear. Israel’s security is sacrosanct. It is non-negotiable. The Palestinians need a state that is contiguous and cohesive, and that allows them to prosper — but any agreement with the Palestinian people must preserve Israel’s identity as a Jewish state, with secure, recognized and defensible borders. Jerusalem will remain the capital of Israel, and it must remain undivided.” However, Obama appears to have changed his mind and no longer supports US policy. It is hard to know what Obama thinks. Dave1 Report As Abusive Mar 24, 2010 6:37am EDT After 62 years, it has dawned on the US that what General Marshall told Harry Truman is essentially correct. And now Gen Petraeus says the the same thing. Meanwhile trillions of dollars and countless lives all over the world have been lost in this mad idea of the Western World to recreate the Bible! vrsonti Report As Abusive Mar 24, 2010 7:15am EDT vrsonti, good point. We can no longer price the world. We can’t afford and we end up in un winnable wars in countries that should not matter to the US Story_Burn Report As Abusive Mar 24, 2010 7:29am EDT In 1967 Israel liberated and re-joined Jerusalem, just as Berlin was rejoined decades later. Why is the world so insistent on splitting it again? At no point has it ever been the capital of any people other than the Jews. The Ottomans held it for more than a hundred years and never used it as a capital. Jordan captured it and held it for 20 years and never used it as their capital. Stop the farce of letting the Jordanian Arabs calling themselves Palestinians claim Israels capital and the most holy place in Judaism the “Future Palestinian Capital.” This is worse than Jews demanding their land back in Damascus, Chiro, etc. as they had deeds to land not a fictions history. Eric.Klein Report As Abusive Mar 24, 2010 7:51am EDT Wow, what does Israel wanting to build more housing in a section of Jerusalem that has been a Jewish neighborhood for oh, one thousand years or more have to do with US involvement in wars in the Middle East? As part of a phased plan that has been publicly documented for years even. The Palestinians complain when the Israelis get a drink of water. Where is your self righteous moral outrage at the thousands of rockets fired at civilians by the palestinians. Where is your moral indignation at the dedication of a square to a terrorist that killed 30 some odd people, 13 of which were children. Wars that can’t be won? Didn’t the Iraqis just have a democratic election? Yeah, we lost that one. Oh, new question — where is your righteous indignation over the attacks on polling stations in Iraq? You might want to understand the facts about what is going on rather than simply repeating talking points. Lets all just roll over and let the little whiny radical Islamists have their way. You think the Conservatives are bad now — wait until Sharia Law is the global standard. Radical Islam succeeds when we do what you are suggesting — roll over and let them have their way. They don’t want to talk to us, they don’t want to negotiate. Its their way or the graveyard. draymer Report As Abusive Mar 24, 2010 8:31am EDT Israel can do what it wants as long as it pays it’s bills with it’s own money. No longer should US and European banks and financial institutions give Israel sweet heart deals in finance or trade. I say isolate Israel like South Africa was isolated. XMarine Report As Abusive Mar 24, 2010 8:35am EDT I believe Israel should stand its ground and build their housing regardless of what other countries think, it is their land, and who are we to say they shouldn’t. Israel has given up enough of itself to satisfy those who have no claim to or business with Israel at all. wowimeanwow Report As Abusive Mar 24, 2010 9:46am EDT Obama is no friend of Israel. AlitoRAF Report As Abusive Mar 24, 2010 9:59am EDT Israel is no friend to anyone.
