British Prime Minister Gordon Brown on Sunday demanded that Israel cease settlement construction and promised more money to jump-start the battered Palestinian economy.

>It's about time<
In his first trip to Israel and the Palestinian territories as Britain's leader, Brown repeatedly stressed that economics are key to Mideast peace, and said Israel should ease travel restrictions in the West Bank that have hindered commerce.
>especially medical supplies to innocent people<
But his strongest comments were reserved for the settlements: "I think the whole European Union is very clear on this matter: We want to see a freeze on settlements."
>No Sh*t Sherlock...its illegal to begin with<
"Settlement expansion has made peace harder to achieve. It erodes trust, it heightens Palestinian suffering, it makes the compromises Israel needs to make for peace more difficult," Brown said at a news conference with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas in the West Bank town of Bethlehem.

Israeli government spokesman Mark Regev said he would reserve comment on Brown's remarks until the British leader meets with Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert in Jerusalem later Sunday.
>guess he can't believe a western leader has finally spoke up for the Palestinians<
Abbas went further in his criticism of Israel's construction in disputed east Jerusalem and the adjacent West Bank, telling Brown that Israel lacks commitment to the "principles and spirit" of Mideast peace efforts. He singled out stepped-up construction of homes for Jews in areas of Jerusalem the Palestinians claim for their capital.

Brown is right on point. I hope Israel listens and I hope the world will get behind the Palestinians and treat them as equl to the jews. After all the Jews did steal the land originallly in 1946. I hope some how the walls come down and peace prevails, if there can be peace in between the the Arabs and the Jews, the world will be a much better place. I am not sure how this can be accompolished, but the establishment of a Palestinian state would be a good beginning with set boundries both sides living by those boundries. Only time will tell, but it is definitely time for peace there. I hope the arabs and Jews establish the Nuclear free zone they are havinf discussions about soon. Maybe the rest of the world will follow suit. Would not that be nice. A nuclear free world.
