Het Israelisch Expansionisme 52

De Nederlandse regering steunt de Israelische terreur en het Israelische expansionisme op politiek, diplomatiek, economisch en zelfs militair gebied. Een meerderheid in de Tweede Kamer accepteert dat voor het schenden van het internationaal recht door Nederland wordt gesteund. De Nederlandse commerciele massamedia zwijgen er doorgaans over. Al meer dan 40 jaar lang worden de Palestijnen geconfronteerd met de dagelijkse terreur van een militaire bezetting, die bijvoorbeeld alleen al in 2006 de dood van 120 Palestijnse KINDEREN veroorzaakte. Stel u voor dat er 120 joodse kinderen vermoord waren. Dan zouden de persen gestopt worden. En terecht. Maar nu het 'slechts' arabieren betreft dan is het de moeite niet waard om het melden. En alleen al voorstellen dat er sancties moeten komen tegen Israel omdat het doorgaat met het stelen van andermans land is vloeken in de kerk, zo niet een van de ergste vormen van anti-semitisme, althans in de ogen van de pro-Israel lobby, bestaande uit joodse en christelijke extremisten.

'Israeli army orders confiscation of Palestinian land in West Bank.

Map: new Jewish settlements· Seizure would allow huge expansion of settlements· Move seen as rush to make changes before US summit Conal Urquhart in Jerusalem

The Israeli army has ordered the seizure of Palestinian land surrounding four West Bank villages apparently in order to hugely expand settlements around Jerusalem, it emerged yesterday.
The confiscation happened as Israeli and Palestinian negotiators met to prepare the ground for a meeting hosted by President George Bush in the United States aimed at reviving a diplomatic solution to the conflict.
However, critics said the confiscation of land suggested that Israel was imposing its own solution on the Palestinians through building roads, barriers and settlements that would render a Palestinian state unviable.
The land seized forms a corridor from East Jerusalem to Jericho and is intended to be used for a road that would be for Palestinians only. Analysts said the road would run on one side of the Israeli security barrier, while the existing Jerusalem-Jericho road would be reserved for Israelis.
A spokeswoman for the Israeli army said it was necessary to build a road to link Bethlehem and the Judea region with Jericho and the Jordan valley area in order to "improve the quality of life" for Palestinians.
She said the road would be nearly 10 miles long and would be built on 145 hectares (357 acres) of state land and 23 hectares of private land that had been confiscated. She added that the army had designed the route to minimise losses to private landowners.
Adam Keller of the Israeli peace group, Gush Shalom, said the confiscation of land belonging to the villages of Abu Dis, Arab al-Sawahra, Nebi Musa and Talhin Alhamar would "rob many villagers of their sole livelihood" but would also "facilitate the big annexation plan known as E-1, which is aimed at linking the settlement of Ma'aleh Adummim with Jerusalem and cutting the West Bank in two."
He said the confiscations were aimed at constructing a "Palestinian bypass road" that would "push the Palestinian traffic between Bethlehem and Ramallah deep into the desert and effectively bar them from the central part of the West Bank".
The E-1 area has been marked out on Israeli government maps for years but the state has refrained from large scale development of the area. The only building to be completed is the proposed headquarters of the Israeli police in the West Bank.'
