Land War: The Battle over Israel's Settlements
Tipping point: Whatever tacit agreements may or may not have existed are now up for question. The White House reads the road map's stipulation that Israel "freezes all settlement activity" more broadly than its predecessor, insisting on a stop to all settlement growth -- natural or otherwise. As Gershom Gorenberg wrote in Foreign Policy this January, in an essay that appears to accord with the administration's views, "The message written on the landscape is simple: Every day, the settlements expand. Every day, Israel grows more entangled in the West Bank. ... No one knows exactly where the point of no return is -- when so many Israelis will have moved into so many homes beyond the pre-1967 border that there is no going back. But each passing day brings that tipping point nearer." Above, a settler raises a Torah scroll during a dedication ceremony in Maoz Ester, right after it was destroyed.

Vertel dat Sander van Hoorn maar es die haargroeimiddel meeneemt voor vrienden in Gaza. De goeierik. Waarschijnlijk zijn manier om z'n geweten te sussen wetende dat zijn dochtertje elke dag een vrij en veilig leventje heeft en duizenden Palestijnse meisjes van haar leeftijd dagelijks aan t overleven zijn.
