Walling In the West Bank

I don't think the apartheid wall receives a mention, readers.

"The Israeli military extended an order barring most Palestinians from entering Israel from the West Bank.

"Palestinians take to streets in Jerusalem; Clash with Israelis over construction; US envoy cancels visit" by Amy Teibel, Associated Press | March 17, 2010

JERUSALEM — Small clashes also took place in several West Bank towns....

In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s spokesman, Mark Regev, said, “Israel’s government has proved over the past year its commitment to peace, in words and in deeds,’’ noting Netanyahu’s acceptance of the creation of a Palestinian state and the “removal of hundreds of roadblocks and checkpoints’’ in the West Bank....

Before they put 'em back up again.

"Israel lifts extended closure of West Bank as tensions calm; No new clashes are reported in Jerusalem" by Amy Teibel, Associated Press | March 18, 2010

JERUSALEM — Israel.... called off an extended West Bank closure after days of clashes between Palestinians and Israeli security forces....

Sporadic violence broke out yesterday in the West Bank. The most serious occurred in the northern city of Nablus, where dozens of Palestinian youths hurled rocks at Israeli security forces, some using slingshots and even a shovel to increase their range. Israeli troops responded with tear gas and rubber bullets. Medics said two Palestinians were wounded....

Yup, sticks and stones against a modern military.

But it is poow wittle Iswael that is under thweat!

Israel rescinded its closure of the West Bank that had prevented virtually all Palestinians there from crossing into Israel.

Yeah, they are used to it.

Thousands of Palestinians enter Israel each day for work, medical care, or other services....

Yeah, isn't Israel just grand to Palestinians.

--more--"

And about that work:

"Thousands of foreign laborers in Israel have taken on menial jobs that used to be filled by Gaza residents until a decade ago, when unrest prompted Israel to restrict Palestinian movement"

Yeah, as if they had not been doing that all along.

And NO PROBLEM with RESTRICTION of MOVEMENT to the MSM!

Why would it be?

Israel doesn't allow them into Gaza and you never hear a peep.

Oh, yeah, and the killing never stops, either:

"Israeli plans for settlements must stop, UN chief says; Palestinian teen killed in clash in West Bank" by Mohammed Daraghmeh, Associated Press | March 21, 2010

RAMALLAH, West Bank — A Palestinian teenager was killed in clashes with Israeli troops in the West Bank.

The death of 16-year-old Mohammed Qadus, who Palestinians say was shot in the chest by Israeli security forces, comes amid heightened tensions between Israelis and Palestinians after Israel announced plans for 1,600 new homes for Jews in disputed East Jerusalem.

Palestinians said an unidentified 17-year-old protester was in serious condition after being shot in the head.

Welcome to the daily life of a Palestinian.

If it is not the army it is extremist Jewish terrorists, 'er, zettlers.

Israel’s military confirmed that it dispersed a group of masked, rock-throwing Palestinians near the town of Iraq Burin with tear gas and rubber bullets.

It said the Palestinians were holding a violent, illegal riot and were approaching a nearby settlement in a threatening manner.

Yeah, so just OPEN FIRE!

And if YOU THINK I am buying the CLAIMS of the ZIONIST STINK STATE and its MOUTHPIECE AmeriKan MSM, well, you are new here.

The military said its troops did not use live bullets and said it was investigating reports of the Palestinian death....

Translation: they were using live bullets and there is no investigation.

Yeah, that is the way you have to read an AmeriKan jewspaper.


"Jerusalem building proposals draw fire; Palestinians call project a ‘bribe’" by Mark Lavie, Associated Press | March 24, 2010

JERUSALEM — The Israeli military, meanwhile, said yesterday that it will investigate the deaths of two Palestinian teenagers during a weekend riot in the West Bank.

And then absolve themselves of any crime.

Two Palestinians were killed Saturday in the West Bank village of Burin, where clashes often erupt over a water well claimed by both Palestinians and Israeli settlers.

I heard they were "moving(?)" in a "threatening manner" on a settlement!

Palestinian medics said the deaths were caused by bullets fired by Israeli soldiers against protesters throwing fire bombs and rocks.

The Israeli military says the troops used only rubber bullets.

Well, the Israeli military is one of the most notorious liars on the face of the planet so make of that what you will.
