That's right. It's not just near Jordan valley. Let me talk about the 3 Jewish settlements near my house in the west bank. Every year the settlers expand their settlements by tearing down our houses and seizing our lands. The settlements here are growing rapidly.

Yes,this is true...It's the first official settlement approved since 1992...Of course since then the government approved the enlargement of the ones existing already,and about 100 illegal settlement have been build on land taken from the Palestinians...

Israel does what ever they want and we (the United States) seem to either go along with it or turn a blind eye to it. Hey Israel, ''Thou shall not lie'' isn't just a commandment, it's a good idea! (So are the other 9!)

Well, since I am a representative of the Isreali government, I could tell you but I'd have to kill you.
If you got this from a reputable news source, what more do you want?

Yes it is true. The US will do nothing about it. Why? Because the Isreal lobby runs our foreign policy.
