U.N Sec-Grl: "Israeli settlements have dealt peace process a fatal blow."

Just a recap for those who've been behind the 8-ball.

Palestine won recognition from the UN on Thursday and with it rights to nationhood, territorial waters, airspace & access to the International Criminal Court (where they can now try and charge Israel's leaders for war crimes).

Today, Israel cut off ALL financial aid to Palestine & began construction of 3,000 homes for Israeli settlers on land that Palestine claims.

The latest is that all bets are now off because of this, given that Palestinians have no recourse but to use "alternate means" of retaliating. This means the ICC (International Criminal Court).

Some sources in Ramallah and Gaza City are saying that Israel will soon be held to account for their latest "crimes".

In the meantime, emotions are understandably high, and there is a higher chance now of miscalculation than at any time in the last five years.

Israel, run by the far-right hawks

Egypt, run by Islamic fundamentalists

Palestine, virtually led by a now-empowered Hamas

Lebanon, run by Hezbollah

Syria, run by a Sunni dictator

Iraq, run by a Shia strongman sympathetic to Islamists

Kuwait now has an Islamist-dominated Parliament

Iran, run by radical Mullahs, who don't recognise Israel


The only (albeit remotely) friendly countries that tolerate Israel existing at all are now just Jordan, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. And they're all experiencing the onset of their own "Arab Spring". How long will their archaic pro-Western regimes last?

Bibi's wounded now.

And you know how dangerous wounded animals can be.

they didn't kill it...the palestinians and the UN did with that vote last week.

By expanding settlements in the occupied territories Israel has unilaterally walked out of the peace process.

What to look out for now is what steps the Palestinians take in response.

According to Israel, yes.

But in context with what constitutes 'violating a peace process', seeking self-determination for displaced people does not fall under that category.

In reality, Israel actually killed the peace process by this spiteful and ill-intentioned act, which is why the U.N Secretary-General went before the podium today and declared the peace process dead.

He was referring to Israel's decision to expand settlements on already occupied territory, not Palestine's dream to give its children a home.

the vote in the UN was a violation of the Oslo accords, it was specific as to no unilateral actions were to be taken by either side as far as claiming final borders. That was to be done via negotiations by both sides, no third party was to decide that. Both sides have axes to grind I do have to say, this will more than likley lead to more bloodshed.

3,000 homes being built in West Bank & East Jerusalem.

Maybe so, but was the occupying force ever seriously going to negotiate East Jerusalem? No way. They've made that clear since 1948.

So, Palestine simply went to the UN to have the small strip of land they DO own officially recognised as theirs. And it wasn't even full statehood.

Yet even though Israel said the vote was "meaningless" and "changed nothing" they obviously didn't feel that way because now they've just gone totally APESHIT and flushed what little hope was left down the toilet.

The UN has said similar things over the years.

Basically what it means is that all the dumb fucking blind and stupid Israel supporters can gag on the long penis of truth.

All this has to do with is Israel's illegal occupation of more and more land every year. THAT is what all the conflict is about. Expansion is NOT allowed. Period. For any reason. Religion, politics, etc is irrelevant. But they continue to steal land so the Palestinians revolt. That is what it is all about. Israel is in the wrong. Period. Anyone who supports Israel is wrong. Period. End of story.

I think it would be safe to say that the UN by its action has dealt the peace process a "death blow". The only card to bring these morons to the table was "RECOGNITION" and statehood once the peace process was culminated. The UN by its Muslim dominated action has irreperably withdrawn any reason for the PLA/Hamass to come to the table and work out a settlement. Ya think................

WHY??? There is absolutely NOTHING violent about building houses! Building houses is a perfectly peaceful, constructive thing to do. The statement by UN secretary is completely invalid and only serves to highlight the anti-Israel bias at the UN.

fuck that Palestinians they are a made up people go israel push them out of Jerusalem YESSS

Perhaps that's because, once again, they're doing so on someone else's land. I doubt anything will be done by the UN. Israel keeps violating the law, the UN talks, sends inspectors, Israel turns them away & we rinse & repeat.

This dumb fucking autistic down syndrom imbecile is a prime exams of the problem. Has no clue that Israel slaughters innocent families to build their 'peaceful' houses. Watch much MSM lately?

Israeli soldiers shoot Palestinian children in the back as they take their land and bulldoze their homes. This has been vetted so many times I can't even believe there's anyone out there still ignorant enough to think otherwise.

Israel is the number one terrorist nation on earth. Hands down.

obviously the UN creating israel in the first place is now seen by the wider world as a

mistake.

So I can come over and build my new house in your backyard then?

Maybe I'll knock your house down and build mine in it's place.

Building houses is a perfectly peaceful, constructive thing to do.

They should try this. Maybe they could chill a bit....

Who's land?

WHAT??? You have proof of this?

No.

And the idiots did not expect blow-back when they laughed and naoonie nonnie boobooed that Hamas won at a debate and Isreal had to bend over and take it? Did you really?

Obama and Hillary blew it.

Tell me where u live and i will go and build in your backyard. And if u protest you are a terrorist.
9Om

I have homes in the US and Israel. You can't build on any of my property.

Jewish women usually do give fatal 'blows'

the death cults are sharpening their knives, Their gods are thirsty for blood.

It's all over now. Israel and Palestine haven't got long to go. Soon they'll be invaded, evicted and all that land will be used for storing atomic waste from all over the world, so no one can use the lands ever again.
