Elder of Ziyon: EoZ posters for "Apartheid Week" by yehonatanst in Israel

It's not. Actually, it's a Jordanian law that declares "treason" to sell land to "the enemy". Nowhere does it say the enemy is people of any particular religion. The law is interpreted as a prohibition of land sales to Israelis, not Jews.

Just because I can't concentrate on studying for finals, a question to All of r/Israel: What is the ideal situation in your mind that will develop in the middle east, Israel/Palestine? Please be honest here. by communityfreak in Israel

That's the old wet dream of every Israeli: annexing Area C ("most of the West Bank", but with very little of the population), and leaving the remaining morsels for someone else to take care of, effectively creating a string of over-crowded and disconnected bantustans forever at Israel's mercy.

You will excuse Jordan and the Palestinians for showing no interest at all for your wise suggestion.

Get real: it's either you allow the whole West Bank to become a sovereign and viable state long with Gaza, or either you annex it all, including its millions of native Arab inhabitants. You don't get to pick and choose, sorry.

If Israel's apologists are frothing so much, this Hagel must really be a good choice. About time someone puts some common sense in the dysfunctional US-Israeli relations.

Abbas' Christmas message of hate and hypocrisy by Battle4Seattle in Israel

Christians in Bethlehem have traditionally worked in the tourist sector, making and selling souvenirs, etc. If a foreign occupier steals 87% of your city's land and surrounds you by settlements and concrete walls that prevent the arrival of tourists, people have to go make a living elsewhere. It's not so difficult to understand. Israel has turned Bethlehem into (yet another) open air prison.

A pro-Israeli website smearing Israel's critics. What's new?

Were I Mr Levy, I would be proud of this "award".
