Israel to Freeze Illegal Settlements? You Got to be Kidding!

So the New York Times reported that Israeli Prime Minister has agreed to push for settlement freeze in the Palestinian territories. Whoa, did I hear that right? Read on..

WASHINGTON — Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel has agreed to push his cabinet to freeze most construction on settlements in the West Bank for 90 days to break an impasse in peace negotiations with the Palestinians, an official briefed on talks between the United States and Israel said Saturday evening.

Ah, so Prime Minister Netanyahu only agreed to freeze MOST of their illegal settlements in West Bank. How many settlements are there in the pipeline? Only god knows. Secondly, there is no mention at all about the existing illegal Jewish settlements which has been in existence for decades in West Bank.

And in order for America to get the Israeli regime to stop encroaching more Palestinian lands, in return "..the Obama administration has offered Israel a package of security incentives and fighter jets worth $3 billion that would be contingent on the signing of a peace agreement"

SO instead of telling off a thief "You are guilty of international law for stealing"; the Americans are saying, "please stop stealing! In return I will reward you for not stealing!"

And mind you, Israel has not agreed to stop stealing, but they have only said, "I will only stop stealing MOST of your lands, and I won't return back to you what I have stolen for more than 30 years."

And that, is the sad case of what is happening in our world today. The international community can only watch haplessly. Might is still right it seems.
