"Building on it" - settlement construction continues full steam ahead | | Oded Shalom and Akiva Novick - Yedioth Ahronoth - We came [to Tekoa] on the day when the prisoners were released in advance of renewed negotiations between Israel and the Palestinians, and two days after the Ministry of Housing and Construction issued announced tenders for the construction of 1,187 new residential units across the Green Line. The Palestinians threatened to boycott to the talks because of the new construction and the Americans and the Europeans condemned it. But in Tekoa and the other settlements we visited we found no one under stress. No one here got excited about the condemnations. The world can continue to bark, as long as the heavy equipment keeps preparing the ground for new construction. | 31/8/2013 |

"The appeal had been dragging on for the past two years. The state attorney’s bureau had tried various delaying tactics. It is well known that they were far from happy with this law to begin with, and had tried in vain to dissuade the right-wing MKs from enacting it." - id | 28/8/2013 |

The cat on the cream - our housing minister | | Gush Shalom - With the winds of war blowing in our region, Housing
Minister Uri Ariel pours more oil on the flames by establishing the new
“Leshem” settlement on the West Bank. In the inflammatory speech which he
delivered on that occasion he shows himself a dangerous extreme right
provocateur.ak | 27/8/2013 |

Israeli Army Seeks to Evict Villagers to Expand Firing Zone | | Daoud Kuttab - Al Monitor - The villagers and their defenders point to a different reason for the attempts to evacuate the villages. A Christian Peace Team infographic shows a strong correlation throughout the West Bank between the more than a hundred outposts that Israeli settlers set up without permission from their own government, and the location of firing zones throughout the occupied territories.-rh

When the IDF wants to protect Palestinians, it`s almost able | | Yossi Gurvitz - +972 - So what did we learn? First, that when the IDF really wants to, it can significantly reduce settler violence. It merely demands an allocation of troops. From that, we can deduce how criminally negligent the IDF’s daily routine is in the West Bank. When there’s no ambassador from a nation responsible for an impressive part of its budget breathing down the neck of senior officers, the IDF is not interested in its duty – by international law and HCJ rulings – to defend the occupied population.-rh

Any other ‘statesman’ who negotiated peace like John Kerry would be treated as a thief | | Robert Fisk - The Independent - Then came the ultimate lie: that the “question of settlements” is “best resolved by solving the problem of security and borders”. Tosh. The colonies – or settlements, as Kerry goes on calling these acts of robbery – are not being taken by Israel because of “security” or “borders” but because the Israeli Right, which continues to dominate the Netanyahu administration, wants the land for itself.-rh | 14/8/2013 |
