"Israel's decision to approve the construction nullifies any effect that a settlement freeze, when and if announced, will have," Mr Erekat said.
"Given the choice between making peace and making settlements, they have chosen to make settlements," he added.
WEST BANK SETTLEMENTS
Construction of settlements began in 1967, shortly after the Middle East War
Some 280,000 Israelis now live in the 121 officially-recognised settlements in the West Bank
A further 190,000 Israelis live in settlements in occupied East Jerusalem
The largest West Bank settlement is Modiin Illit, where 38,000 people live
There are a further 102 unauthorised outposts in the West Bank which are not officially recognised by Israel
The population of West Bank settlements has been growing at a rate of 5-6% since 2001
From PressTV: Netanyahu is turning a blind eye to the repeated calls by the global community including its main ally, the US, to halt its settlement expansion in the West Bank.
The EU foreign ministers in a meeting in Stockholm on Saturday also called on Israel to freeze its settlement expansion in the region.
But, EU foreign policy Chief Javier Solana had expressed hope during the meeting that the European states could persuade Israel to change its position.
"The negotiations with Israel have not finished and we have some weeks to go. I hope very much that we'll be able to get a change of that position" on Israeli settlements during the UN general assembly in New York next month, Solana said. http://www.presstv.com/detail.aspx?id=105432§ionid=351020202

People that want peace dont do this sort of thing. If peace was a true goal, there would have been no going off the original plan. Israel deceives again.

state of israel is said in terms of geographical clarity such as "nation state".
to say israel one could be refering to the son of abraham(isacc who was later known as israel) or to a race of people ie the people of israel.
the subliminal effect of calling israel the state of israel is to re-enforce the idea that they have a right to exist.
when anti-semites say that jews have no right to live no less in the middle east having israel known as the state of israel discounts that notion. of course the jews have a right to exist they have a state in the middle east - 3 years ago

by the way using california as your argument supports you opposition.
the U.S. went to war with mexico to get texas arizona new mexico and yes california.
by your example the us is israel and mexico is gaza.
so the impoverished state that mexico is in will be further exaserbated by the wall we are building and we will be committing a genocide on the mexicans so it should be ok for them to send suicide bombers and drop rockets on your kids heads and you have no right to live on land that belongs to them.
live up to your stanard give california back to mexico show israel how its done - 3 years ago

suicide bombings are acceptable tho?
launching rockets everyday at civilians is ok?
so you guys would prefer random chances to blow up then have settlements built.
to each thier own.

When will the world defy israel?
When will the world wake up and say NO MORE ISRAEL?
We won't let you kill innocent people in the name of peace. We will no longer believe the bullshit propaganda that you put out each and every day.When we see you killing children who are waving white flags or walking with their family we will put you on trial in the same type of courts you recieved justice in 60 years ago.
When we see you raining white phosphorus on civilian populations we will take you to those courts again.When you steal land that does not belong to you, cut off food, water, medical supplies etc you will end up in those courts again and be tried for crimes against humanity. You will be convicted and you will suffer the same fate as those 60 years before you.
You will have no where to run. There will be no safe havens for your government officials. In the coming years the "nazi hunters" will be replaced by the "israeli government officials hunters"
And if you think simon wiesenthal was relentless, you havent seen anything yet. - 3 years ago

You hit the nail on the head-the actual hunters are now shifting to "other" targets to capture and bring to justice.

Another way:
Eretz Checkpoint: July 17, 1994, Palestinian sources reported that the occupation forces had committed Sunday morning a disgusting massacre against Palestinian workers at Eretz Checkpoint.Eyewitnesses and Israeli sources reported that 11 Palestinians have been shot dead and 200 injured. Israeli sources also reported that 21 Israeli soldiers including 1 settler were injured. Two soldiers were shot by bullets, one died.
As reported by Palestinian and Israeli sources, the scene was described as a war zone which lasted for 6 hours. Four Israeli tanks and helicopters were brought by the occupation forces, while number of settlers were taken part firing at Palestinians. Protest had spread all over the Occupied Territories. In Gaza, Palestinians raised black flags and called for revenge. In Ramallah, shops closed while several clashes were reported. Several clashes were reported at Hebron University, and two Palestinians were shot in Hebron. These are just some of the massacres committed against the Palestinians by the Zionists. If the raids on southern Lebanon old and new were to be taken account the true magnitude of Zionist crimes against humanity could start to emerge.
If one were to go into the gruesome details of the atrocities committed in 1948 the — mopping up operations —, the deliberate humiliation and massacre of Arabs and the desecration of the holy places of both Muslim and Christian as well as the looting of these holy places and personal property by the Israeli Army and settlers; one might just start to appreciate what Zionism is all about.
“Destroy all of the land; beat down their pillars and break their statues and waste all of their high places, cleansing the land and dwelling in it, for I have given it to you for a possession”; (Joshua 33:52:53); “And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both men and women, young and old and ox and sheep and ##### with the edge of the sword.” (Joshua 6:21)

Most of these settlements are not recognized by the world and are considered Illegal Settlements according the the UN and International law. The reason being is that Israel is occupying Palestine, an officially recognized state of law.
Does Israel EVER abide by law? Not even Gods laws has Israel respected.
