The United States responded on Monday to news that Israel was planning to expand its state land and launch a new building project in the West Bank. The IDF on Sunday conferred the status of state land on 4,000 dunams in the Gush Etzion region, thus ending the civil administrations investigation into the possibility that parcels were private Palestinian property. [Snip] "We have long made clear our opposition to continued settlement activity," a State Department official said.

The White House has a strategy for dealing with Israel, but ISIL and the Russians? Not so much.

Can you only imagine the technological and medical miracles Israel could produce if it (1) had those vast lands as resources and (2) didn't have to use such a large proportion of its present resources to defend itself?
What have the Arabs given us? Oil. And insanity personified as terrorists.

If Psalms 83 occurs soon, which I believe it will Israel will not only control the West Bank they will control the East Bank of the Jordan River. Perhaps even Petra (Buseira) to the south).

Kerry is a fool. Many Christian supporters of Israel are watching for Psalms 83 to occur soon. If our reading of the Bible is correct, the current controversy will not be about the West Bank, but primarily control the East Bank of the Jordan River (Jer 49, Isaiah 15, etc.). Perhaps even Petra (Buseira) to the south).
G-d's promise to Israel will stand. Regardless of what the feckless Obama administration thinks.
