In English, that’s “drop dead!” (Lit., “go bury yourself”). Of course Netanyahu announces plans to build more (illegal) housing in East Jerusalem, just as peace talks are supposed to resume.
Wait.. this wrecks any chance for peace you say? Well that’s the whole damn plan. And why not? I’m sure Netanyahu figures there is a very good chance that Obama will be replaced by a Christianist millenarianist, who will only be too happy to smile at whatever they think will help usher in Armageddon.
My hopeless wishes:
- for every dollar that Israel spends in the West Bank the, U.S. cuts a dollar, and then ramps the penalty up.
- the Palestinians should go straight for recognition of statehood, and the US should back it.
As an American this makes me furious, as a Jew I feel ashamed.
