The US demand verges on the absurd. Consider the facts of the Palestinian situation if Israel continues construction. That will require the eventual peace agreement to factor in one of these options:<\/p>\n\n

\n

the settlements will become part of Israel proper;
\n or they will be evacuated and handed over, as is, to the Palestinians;
\n or they will be torn down and the land handed over to the Palestinians;\n or they will be handed over to the new Palestinian state where the Jews will become second class citzens.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

So in what possible way does continued construction prejudice the Palestinians?<\/p>\n\n

Obama not fair and balanced<\/h1>\n\n

In his major speech delivered from Cairo, June 4, President Obama attempted to be fair and balanced. Unfortunately he wasn`t. For while he demanded that Israel stop all settlement activity immediately, he made no similar demand on the Palestinians. Like, for example, immediately stopping all incitement. Surely that would not have been too much to ask?<\/p>\n\n

True he did refer to the need for Palestinians to stop rocketing Israeli civilians. But this had already stopped and was therefore in no way equivalent to his demand that Israel stop all settlement activity. Fact is that Hizbollah already had their come-uppance and had presumably decided it was too stupid or dangerous to continue rocketing our civilians.<\/p>\n\n

The same applies to Hamas in Gaza. They too have understood that it does not profit them to continue their mindless terrorist rocketing.
