I see the Saudis are still passing on instructions to Abu Powell and his people. I though President Bush's statements made it clear that Ma'aleh Adumim and places like it would be part of Israel.

I wish the U.S. administration would stop talking out of both sides of it's mouth.

Dang, where are people going to live?! If you cant build within a mile or two of the Capitol city, where is left?!!!

And who the heck thinks a 28,000 person city is a frickin settlement anyway?

They call a 28,000 person city a settlement, so size must not be a factor. And they call Hebron a settlement, even though it is named after the Hebrews that founded the city 3,000 years ago and lived there ever since, so age is not a factor.

I get it, if a Jew lives there it is a settlement, and if an Arab builds on Jewish land inside Israel in the suburbs of the Capitol city it is a called a "refugee camp".

Sounds like Nazi's own the press to me. Sand Nazi's.

Someone tell me why this is any of our damned business.

British Foreign Office Minister Baroness Symons urged Israel to freeze all settlement activity.

When my wife & I walk past new condos going up (all the time) here in NYC, she says "look...more SETTLEMENTS!" We laugh at the utter absurdity of the concept, but it's not really funny. Arabs build "homes", Jews build "settlements", as if the world never considers any Jew's house to be permanent, but a mere holding place until the next "solution", "plan" or "map" is devised to "deal" with them. It just makes me sad as an American that we cooperate with the bloodthirsty Euronazis in the whole process.
