Israel to build 1,300 homes for colonists

Posted on 2008-06-14

Occupied Jerusalem: Israel on Friday confirmed plans to build 1,300 more apartments in occupied east Jerusalem, immediately drawing the ire of Palestinians who accused it of sabotaging already rocky peace efforts.

Interior Ministry spokeswoman Sabine Hadad said new apartments were approved for construction in the ultra-Orthodox Ramat Shlomo neighbourhood to help alleviate a housing shortage in occupied Jerusalem.

"We firmly condemn this project, which reveals the Israeli government's intention to destroy peace," Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat fumed.

Friday night I was watching the Hal Lindsey Report...with a friend who wouldn't shut up! Hal was saying a bunch of reasons why there could never be peace with the palestinians. I would like to have heard his reasons, but my idiot friend talked as non stop as Hal Lindsey!!! Do you know some reasons why it cannot be??
