Israel approves another 500 housing units in West Bank, U.S. deeply concerned

[IsraelTimes] The US expresses "deep concern" over an announcement that Israel okayed close to 500 new settlement homes and retroactively approved another 179 already existing units.

"We are deeply concerned by the government of Israel’s announcement today to advance plans for over 500 new settlement units in the West Bank," the official says.

The US has long held that settlement construction is detrimental to the chances of reaching a peace deal with the Paleostinians, a charge that Israel rejects.

#1 So the Israelis are building houses in Israel. Never have I heard such a harsh and brutal injustice that I cared so little about.

#2 The US has no business moral preening in issues they are too ignorant in. STFU about Israel.

#4 If it works then keep doing it. Do it every chance you get.

The building of homes WORKS. And it LASTS. Keep it up.
