The world has yet another example which tells it that Israel has one overriding objective: land grab not peace deal. Is it defensible? No, but then, Israel seems to love being in defensive mode...forever. How painfully sadTourist center

For a tourist center hey? Well, I officially won't be coming back to Israel.
It is hard for most people to understand what is taking place. A rational approach would be for Israel to try to repair its shaken reputation. Is that what they are doing? NO!
Those who believe they are "God's chosen" possibly do not see the world the way non-Jews do.
One day I'd like to do some more research into Post 1967 West Bank,
and issues of Land Ownership with an interest in Who Ones what, and what Their rights are.
From what I can tell what the Israelis are doing is Offensive to most People of
all Political stripes.
