Benjamin Netanyahu says the building of a new Israeli enclave in the Palestinian neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah is a private project “in accordance with Israeli law.”
In a statement Monday, he says Israel will not “impose a ban on Jews purchasing private property in Jerusalem” and that Arabs can buy or rent property in Jewish neighborhoods.
The construction has drawn criticism from the European Union, the Palestinians and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who said Sunday she was “very concerned” about the building.
Clinton said the project “contradicts the logic” of a negotiated peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
How the us and eu are working ever soo discreetly to keep pa judenrein is not beyond me! halacha b’yadua eisav soneh et yaakov!
In this case, jews legitimately purchased this delapadated property from arabs. For which the word on the dictionary would be racist, bigoted, anti semitic, etc. Now, being that when an arab purchased a property recently in a jewish neighborhood and they were afraid for their security, the neighborhood was against them staying there. everybody came out against the jews, and now when the game is turned around, they still blame the jews, they are hipocrites just as well. soo we’ll add hipocrites to the us and eu. (muslim countries go without being said)
there never should have been any negotiations,bulding freeze etc regarding our G-d given land and nuch with “people’ who are the lowest of the low.then the world would never have the chutzpah to come and tell us what to do with yerushalyim ir hakodesh.
