Israel says it will build 3,000 new homes for Jewish settlers in the occupied West Bank. The aim was to fulfil demands for housing and "return to normal life", the defence ministry said. A Palestinian official condemned the move and warned that chances for peace were being destroyed. It is the third such announcement by Israel since US President Donald Trump took office. Mr Trump has hinted he will be more supportive on the issue.

Does this mean the Israeli court decision reflects the recent U.N. resolution condemning the settlements?

I can't imagine why anyone would want to live in one of those places. It would be like the scene from the Little House on the Prairie books where the Ingalls family settles in the Dakota territory and builds a homestead, then is forced to abandon it because the area where it was located was given to an Indian tribe by the U.S. government.

Good ...Palestinians (of which their technically are none) should focus on why other neighboring countries besides Israel don’t want them....good time for a little self-improvement....I have no pity for any of them...they allow the monies which has poured into their area be spent on things other than improving where they are...if they had half a brain they could be living in quite comfortable conditions and work with their neighbors...but muzzies will be muzzies...freakin animals...treat them as such.

According to international law, the Trans Jordan accords, the west bank is indeed occupied, by Arabs but belongs to Israel. But when did international laws ever apply to Muslims, who believe only in Sharia law?

Why do we persist in trying to play nice guy with evil people?
