Israel approves some 700 units in occupied East Jerusalem settlement

[Donkees]

The Israeli government published its approval of the Givat Shaked settlement plan for 695 housing units on lands in the Palestinian neighbourhood of Beit Safafa, says Ir Amim, an Israeli non-profit that focuses on Jerusalem.

“This joins a spate of settlement advancements in East Jerusalem since October 7, including several plan approvals and publication of tenders,” it said in a statement.

1. And the

beat goes on. More disgusting mistreatment of Palestinians

2. This is why you can honestly say Israel is an innocent party in anything happening in the region

You can't steal other people's land and property and ever claim to be the victim

[Bettie]

3. So, they are stealing more land

because they want to.

And Palestinians are supposed to sit quietly and say "Thank you! I was just waiting to be homeless!"

No protests allowed and we're not supposed to call this ethnic cleansing....just um, theft?

4. Are they trying to get more of their people killed?

5. Yeah that sounds like a great place to move to and raise a family.
