War Handwavium

Israel just approved construction of 900 illegal Jewish Settlement homes in the Palestinian side of Jeruselem.

The expansion of illegal Jewish settlements on Palestinian land has been a major issue for the Palestinians, and Palestinians have demanded Israel stop illegal expansion onto Palestinian land before any peace agreement can be reached.

The United States government is reportedly “dismayed” that Israel would do something that would so obviously throw a monkeywrench into the peace process.

And it wasn’t until today that I realized just how gullible the current American administration is when it comes to Israel. Apparently Obama’s administration believes that Israel wants peace with the Palestinians. I can only assume this belief comes from the fact that Israel repeatedly states that it wants peace, and for whatever reason, the Obama administration took Israel’s word over Israel’s actions.

If you say you want peace while you are committing an act of war, most sane people would realize that the words are lies and the actions are what counts. But the Obama administration can’t quite seem to get this basic concept of diplomacy. People and nations and governments lie. And Israel saying it wants peace while agressively expanding illegal settlements on Palestinian land is a lie overridden by actions.

If Obama wants peace in the middle east as one of his accomplishments as president, then he needs to wake the hell up, and stop believing Israel’s words of peace while ignoring Israel’s actions of war.

Illegal Jewish Settlements on Palestinian land is an act of war.

For Americans who can’t quite grasp the concept of what illegal Jewish settlements on Palestinian land really is, imagine the Mexican government keeps sending bulldozers into Texas to tear down existing American homes and building new homes and putting Mexicans in those homes, and then sending the Mexican army to enforce that new arrangement.

You think maybe the US might get a little angry about that?

That’s what Jewish Settlements on Palestinian land are. They’re nothing but an act of war, a slow invasion of land.
