Israel made the same mistake again. Twice now they have "accidentally" let slip notices to the world that they intend to continue their acts of war against Palestine by building Israeli settlements in East Jerusalem. The first time was just moments before Netanyanhu met the American Vice-President, Biden, the second time now was just moments before Netanyahu met the American President, Obama. They are sorry, they say.
Netanyahu told the Israeli parliament in between the two episodes that "Jews are building in Jerusalem, and Jews were building in Jerusalem 3,000 years ago." Of course the Jews have been fighting with their neighbors over land for a lot longer than that. Probably back before Abraham, back in the time of the goddesses.
The point is that Israel is not interested in peace talks with Palestine. Why should they be? They have the best of both worlds right now. They can claim that they want peace in the middle east, then build Israeli settlements on Palestinian land, put Israeli citizens in those settlements, then fence them together and kick Palestine citizens off the lands they thought was legally theirs.
America continues pour money and military equipment into Israel as they look chagrined at having being "fooled" again. Fool is right. Israel just doesn't care anymore. They have everything they could ever wish for. Almost. Next will almost certainly be a military strike against Iran.
Of course we will HAVE to be on Israel's side then. Fooled again.
