Funny how that is, settlements are always touted as being ”roadblocks” to a peace settlement, but missile attacks and other forms of Palestinian terrorism against Israeli citizens are not to be allowed to stop the peace process.
The issue of anti-Jew policies of the Palestinians, while Arabs make up 20% of the Jewish state, is never discussed as negotiating points, ever. It’s take for granted that a Pali state is going to be ”Jew free”.
NOTE: Nice to see Israel sticking a thumb into the IC’s eye.

The United States was behind the summoning of Israeli ambassadors by several European nations, Israeli sources with close ties to US administration officials said Monday.
“The European move is essentially an American move,” one official said. “The Brits asked the Americans how to act.”
The Foreign Ministry fears Europe will take further punitive steps against Israe over its decision to advance construction in the E1 area between Ma’ale Adumim and Jerusalem.
““The European move is essentially an American move,” one official said. “The Brits asked the Americans how to act.””
isn’t it good to see our british (small b) politicians displaying their almost traditional spinelessness on the world stage?
None of the nations involved are helpless simpletons. The line of right and wrong is very clear. You never reward a political group for attacking a nation’s civilian population and use their own people as human shields.
There’s a whole lot of boot licking going on. What makes our politicians so enchanted with something as evil and corrupt as hamas? I think there is huge sums of money involved for them. They aren’t exactly trying to gain honor and definitely not interested in peace.
