the bill requires 2/3 majority vote in order to withdraw from east jerusalem, the palestinian capital.
natanyahu supports it of course.

"Jewish settlers move into house after Israeli police evict Palestinian family. Family of 14 driven out of house in Jabel Mukaber, an Arab neighbourhood targeted by ideologically motivated settler activists"
It's really despicable that this Nazi shit can take place in this day and age. And to think that American tax payers are paying for this ethnic cleansing campaign?
Truly shameful.
'...Fadi Kareem, 21, a member of the evicted family, said: "They came when I was asleep. Police came with loaded weapons aiming them at us, and told us to get out. We knew it was coming but had no warning of today. We knew settlers wanted to take over the place."
Asked how he felt, he said: "I can't even speak."
A neighbour, Raid Kareem, 36, said the newcomers were the first Jewish settlers in the area. "It's not good, it's a problem," he said. "Now they will bring in security. My children won't be able to play on the street. My son is already scared of the police."
Anti-settlement activists at the scene claimed that Elad, an organisation that finances Jewish settlement in Arab neighbourhoods of Jerusalem, was behind the purchase of the house...
Assaf Sharon, an Israeli activist from the Sheikh Jarrah Solidarity Movement, said: "[The settlers] are now closing off the entrances, turning it into a fortress, bringing in guards. It's the usual drill – this is how they start a new settlement."
In a statement, he said: "The new settlement is without doubt meant to worsen the tensions between Washington and Jerusalem and set fire to the powder keg that is East Jerusalem. The residents of Jerusalem will pay the price for this despicable co-operation between the fundamentalist wing of the settlers' movement and the Jerusalem police."
its not a positve thing. its far from a positive thing. the problem as i see it with israel is that theyre determined to exclude the palestinian peoples. for whatever reason theyve decided that this is the way to go. they see no compromise and seem to be under the impression that israel can only exist as an exclusionist state for jews. one would think given their history that theyd be more amenable to inclusion but that seems not to be the case.
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
