Israel annexes West Bank area

"Israel has annexed thousands of hectares of West Bank land beside the barrier it is building, according to an Israeli rights group.
The group says some settlements have seized up to two and a half times more land than they have been designated by fencing it off or through intimidation.
Under international law the settlements in the West Bank are illegal.
The International Court of Justice issued an advisory ruling in 2004 that the barrier breached international law where it is built on occupied territory and should be dismantled.
B'Tselem calculates that the annexation of the land has more than doubled the size of the settlements, with Palestinians, who still own the land, denied access.
Palestinians, despite privately owning half the land, now have no access to it.
They also argue that it makes the agreed goal of a future Palestinian state all the more difficult to reach."

Because my records and rhymes they don't get made
And if you rap like me you don't get paid
And if you roll like me you don't get laid.
— Winston Churchill
Ya'll have been slacking, Israel wasn't on the front page of AMT for like a day or two!
"I do not admit...that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia...by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race...has come in and taken its place" - Churchill to Palestine Royal Commission, 1937.
"One may dislike Hitler's system and yet admire his patriotic achievements. If our country were defeated, I hope we should find a champion as admirable to restore our courage and lead us back to our place among the nations" - From 'Great Contemporaries', 1937.
How ridiculous for people to discuss a influential, oppressive regime in a political forum. Who needs knowledge and discussion of current affairs anyway, right?

Maybe if they stopped taking land...
just a thought. :rolleyes:
Oh but they want peace...they strive for peace says the media...
and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
over specific principles, goals, and policies.
