Some days I get the feeling that the Israelis are replaying American 19th Century history, and no, not the part about the Civil War.
The Israeli government has plans to build at least 73,000 new homes for Jews in the occupied West Bank, the anti-settlement group Peace Now says.
If the plans are implemented in full it would double the number of settlers in the West Bank outside east Jerusalem, according to the Peace Now website.
Who doesn’t love the smell of Manifest Destiny in Greater Israel? Especially when the Palestinians get to play the role of the Lakota Sioux at Wounded Knee (caution: link to graphic content not suitable for children).
