In a move certain to be met with international condemnation, the Jerusalem Planning Committee on Wednesday, 4 Teves, approved moving ahead to build 891 additional housing units in Jerusalem’s southeastern Gilo neighborhood. The community, which numbers over 40,000 residents, is viewed as “Israeli occupied” by the international community, part of the areas liberated by the IDF during the June 1967 Six Day War. While it is an integral part of the capital, the international community views it as “East Jerusalem”, the areas liberated during the war of ’67.
Whatever occurs, Israel is to blame, and this will undoubtedly provide additional ammunition for PA (Palestinian Authority) leader Abu Mazen, who constantly blames Israel for the derailment of the diplomatic process. United Nations Ban Ki-Moon announced this week that Israel’s “decades of occupation” throughout Yehuda and Shomron are to blame for the lack of diplomatic agreement between Israel and the PA.

Wonderful to have more housing in Yerushalayim
What a joke, 900 housing for thousands who need housing.
Israel is stupid, had they shown some backbone by now, no one would be screaming. They act as they agree with the premise that this land is occupied, which it’s not, it belongs to the Jews,and everyone knows it.
It’s just a problem for a frei yid to come out and say it belongs to us from way back, coming from Hashem.
The frei only mention the UN have is the land, we need to scrub that argument and premise and claim what’s rightfully ours.
We should learn from Iran how to feif in the velt
