"Jim, you usually are in favour of welcoming settlers."
I most certainly am where their settlement is both legal and beneficial.
We have long become used to Israel's murderously predatory settlement policy, but the timing of this particular stunt is a clear indication that they have no interest whatever in peace - why should they - they've got superior fire-power and US support (or have they?) - (and probably God) on their side what more could a girl wish for?).
It is a deliberately timed action which will almost certainly guarantee that the negotiations are scuppered and the killing goes on and is a clear definition of intent which has, without a doubt, the full backing of you and your happy band of peacemakers who refuse to even respond to this possibility.
As you and your fellow Israeli regime arse-lickers have studiously avoided the fact that these "illegally identified" on "occupied land" settlements (none of which bear the remotest comparison to legal immigration - unless you happen to be of that particular mindset) have been deliberately accelerated at a time when peace talks are taking place, there seems little point in following you into yet another of your 'Black Holes'.
I'm sure you'll manage to have (yet again)the last word on this without actually addressing the facts of the matter - push on - I'll leave you to it!
