Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert issued a statement today saying that American officials were in agreement with Israel over the fate of the Ma'aleh Adumim settlement in the West Bank. Olmert said, "Ma'aleh Adumin is as an inseparable part of the country," and he said that the U.S. agreed that Israel could retain this settlement. Please take a moment to remind the President and your representatives that Ma'aleh Adumin is an illegal settlement on occupied land and that by supporting Israel's claims to that land, the U.S. is thumbing its nose at international law while demanding that other countries in the world adhere to international law.

CFL ALERT: ISRAELIS SAY THAT THEY HAVE APPROVAL FROM THE U.S. TO CONFISCATE MORE LAND IN THE WEST BANK AND JERUSALEM.
Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert issued a statement today saying that American officials were in agreement with Israel over the fate of the Ma'aleh Adumim settlement in the West Bank. Olmert said, "Ma'aleh Adumin is as an inseparable part of the country," and he said that the U.S. agreed that Israel could retain this settlement. Please take a moment to remind the President and your representatives that Ma'aleh Adumin is an illegal settlement on occupied land and that by supporting Israel's claims to that land, the U.S. is thumbing its nose at international law while demanding that other countries in the world adhere to international law.
*Tell your representatives that you demand clarification of the statements made by Olmert, he said "I can tell you that the American administration knows without a doubt that Ma'aleh Adumim is an inseparable part of the State of Israel," Olmert said in an Israeli Radio interview. "There is no chance that we'll be able to give this up." Ask, your representatives if they support the principles of international law and UN Resolutions and whether they believe that Israel should be held accountable.
*Tell your representatives that you do not want your hard earned tax dollars supporting illegal endeavors on Palestinian land. We need the money right here in the USA for the victims of hurricane Katrina.

It is very clear!
Leave Gaza, get a stronger foothold in Jerusalem!
It’s hard when you are dealing with people who think that God is a landlord!
“Approval” doesnt matter. What matters is that Israel knows America will do nothing no matter what steps it takes. Kind of like telling your child “do not do that, but if you do, you’ll not get in trouble and still get everything you want.”
I have also read/heard that Gaza is low land close to sea level and apotential flood plain vulnerable to a tsunami or global warming rising levels. Remember Zionists think three moves 50-100 years ahead like a chessmaster, so must we, it is not always about what is now but what they think may be to come. Of course its also a strategic political ploy for control of West bank. Also, Gaza once long ago Philisitine in “biblical times” was never colonized by the conquering Israelite tribes. Gaza was only recently put on the settlers agenda as Eretz-Israel Zionist propaganda.
