Does anyone have a clear explanation of Israel's settlement policy? Outside of specific aims sometimes I wonder.

Oh I know that stuff, they've been trying to use the UN for a long time now. I was wondering if there was a straight look at the settlements. All I ever see is pretty shrill.

"We have long made clear our opposition to continued settlement activity. This announcement, like every other settlement announcement Israel makes, planning step they approve and construction tender they issue is counterproductive to Israel's stated goal of a negotiated two-state solution with the Palestinians. We urge the government of Israel to reverse this decision..." - U.S. State Department Spokeman "We need more measured policy conduct, and not to generate unnecessary disputes with the United States and the world. What is this good for, of all times, now? This was a grab that was not brought before the cabinet and at this time simply causes damage to the State of Israel. " - Israel Finance Minister Yair Lapid

I say again...no difference from any other terrorist organization with a Caliphate as it's goal...
http://www.hrw.org/news/2014/08/25/gaza-halt-executions No trial, no appeal, no fucking nothing. Eighteen people taken out and shot in the head in the streets of Gaza city for being suspected of collaboration with the Israelis. Well...at least Hamas was thoughtful enough not to put these people through a beheading with a dull butter knife. No proof of course. And the action, no different from the action of nazis in Poland or France or Belgium. We'll execute a couple dozen people, not because we know they collaborated, but because we know it will discourage collaboration with Israel and reinforce our control in Gaza. Democratically elected and supported government...my ass. Their own people are scared shitless of Hamas and they should be. And anybody would suggest that there is any sort of moral equivalency between Hamas and the government of the State of Israel.
