Gilo, South Jerusalem (not a settlement)


So the US and Quartet are “deeply disappointed” that Jews will be able to build apartments in Gilo, which is actually South Jerusalem and not a “settlement” (feel free to Google Map it). Apartments are to be built on land that is still owned by Jews (purchased before WW2), notwithstanding that Jews were ethnically cleansed from that land by the British commanded Arab Legion of TransJordan in 1948. If Jews were denied planning permission in the USA on land that they own, on the basis of their religion, then the government would likely take action against such discrimination.

The Arab world know that a Jewish state is meaningless without Jerusalem and the sites which are central to Jewish beliefs. This is why they have started screeching for Jerusalem as a new capital of a never before existent Arab country, when for centuries after its conquest by Islam, it was not even a major city. It is why Sikh, Buddhist, Christian and Hindu places of worship have been destroyed, built on or taken over and converted to mosques when Islam has conquered a nation. If Jews are not allowed to live in Jerusalem, then where can they be free to live?
