Netanyahu: Recognizing the Palestinian unity gov't will encourage terrorism

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the expected Monday declaration of a Palestinian unity government at the beginning of the weekly cabinet meeting on Sunday by calling on all "responsible agents in the international community not to rush to recognize a Palestinian government that relies on Hamas." (Omri Efraim)

Kerry was right in warning that Israel risks becoming an apartheid state if it does not change the behavior of the IDF and "settlers."

Can you explain to us what you think the word "Apartheid " means ?

Or is "Apartheid " your general word for anything you find bad and distasteful and evil.

Can you explain to us what's your understanding if this word and should we all petition dictionaries to change the definition of Apartheid to "anything I feel is bad in Israel "?

White House: Hamas-Fatah reconciliation 'isn’t necessarily a bad thing'
In closed briefing, presidential adviser Philip Gordon tells Jewish leaders that while timing of deal was 'unhelpful' it was hard to see how peace could be reached with only 'half a Palestinian entity.'

Does not matter much anyway, Bibi is full of shit and has no intentions of making concessions
so the Palestinians have a viable state.

Just as I thought



Fine by me that you guys think every thing in Israel like a Kosher McDonalds in Jerusalem is Apartheid.

The felafel stand on Dizzengoff? Apartheid.

Tachanah Hamerkazi and Snorkeling in Herzliyah Petuach? Apartheid of course.

Everything is Apartheid ?

How cheap for the very real atrocities in South Africa.

Israeli military vehicles carried out two separate cross-border military incursions into the southern Gaza Strip on Sunday morning, witnesses told Ma'an.

The first incursion occurred east of Rafah as five bulldozers escorted by military vehicles leveled fields belonging to local Palestinians about 200 meters from the border fence inside the Gaza Strip.

Witnesses said that no gunfire was heard during the raid, but that military helicopters were seen in the sky.

Shortly after the first incursion, several Israeli military tanks crossed the border into the Gaza Strip firing gunshots into the air.
