"Yet concerns were mounting, especially among Palestinians, that the price is too steep. Sunday's announcement was Israel's third in a week on promoting Jewish settlements on war-won lands the Palestinians want for a state. It fueled Palestinian fears of a new Israeli construction spurt under the cover of U.S.-sponsored negotiations."

"I don't recall any condemnation of military aid to the terrorists on Israel's borders from Iran and Syria hereabout - but it may just be that my memory is faulty."
I don't recall your once addressing or attempting to answer the questions on the effect the announced long-term programme of continued and accelerating settlements (announced last week and certainly not agreed by Palestine), the incursion into Lebanon, and the persistent public and aggressive messages by braindead Israelis such as their Irish Embassy staff ON THE EVE OF THE RE-STARTING OF PEACE TALKS - but that maybe because your politics and your desire to see the situation settled is "faulty", as it is in the case of the Israelis - they are the aggressors and always have been.
Terrorising people, trying to starve them into submission and stealing their homes kills people - on both sides.
