Israel really doesn't get it, do they?

Why is it that Palestinians fire rockets into Israel? Is it because they're a bunch of crazy assholes, as Israel claims? Or is it because they're legitimately pissed that they aren't a recognized nation and because Israel keeps going back on their word to occupy more land? Honestly, I think it's a nice mixture of the two. And if Israel thinks that their recent action isn't going to draw more rocket fire, they're just as fucking crazy.

Plans to expand a West Bank settlement by up to 2,500 homes drew Palestinian condemnation Monday and presented an early test for President Barack Obama, whose Mideast envoy is well known for opposing such construction.

Israel opened the way for possible expansion of the Efrat settlement by taking control of a nearby West Bank hill of 423 acres. The rocky plot was recently designated state land and is part of a master plan that envisions the settlement growing from 9,000 to 30,000 residents, Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi said.

Israeli officials said any new construction would require several years more of planning and stages of approval.

That's great. So, they do a land-grab, plan to build there, and then sit on it for several months to possibly a year or more? Makes me wonder how much more land they will illegally grab, like what was exposed when word leaked of their secret settlement database.

A classified database of construction compiled by the ministry was leaked to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.

It suggests most construction took place without the right permits, and more than 30 settlements were built in part on land owned by Palestinians.

Settlements are a contentious issue in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The defence ministry has not commented on the report, which appears to contradict Israel's official position that it does not requisition private land for settlements.

The internationally-backed "road map" peace plan also calls on Israel to halt all settlement activity.

The database - compiled over about two years - was leaked to Haaretz by the Israeli human rights group Yesh Din.

It focuses not only on some 100 unauthorised settler outposts, but also on about 120 settlements officially authorised since Israel captured the territory in the 1967 Arab-Israeli war.

An analysis of the data shows a big majority - about 75% - of construction in settlements was carried out without the right permit or in contravention of permits issued, Haaretz reported.

In more than 30 settlements, buildings including schools, synagogues and police stations, had been built on private Palestinian land.

The newspaper said Defence Minister Ehud Barak blocked publication of the data, arguing it could endanger state security or harm Israel's foreign relations.

Yeah, I would think that intentionally, knowingly, and secretly violating peace accords would strain foreign relations. Zionist reclamation detractors will argue that such views are fundamentally anti-Semitic, which is bullshit. I don't care if you're fucking Hindu, this kind of action makes you a dick. Why is the US still giving aid to Israel?
