| The article illustrates the annexation by the State of Israel of yet more land that the Palestinians have not ceded. Nowhere does Rosenblum explain that the site remains under Israeli military Occupation, and claimed by Palestinian Authority. This type of infrastructure investment by Israel in the West Bank is but another nail in the coffin of the `Two State Solution`. The article is typical of the normalization of the Occupation by Israelis, as if the government has the right to develop land that is not legally part of the state. This land grab is typical of Israeli Government policy of denying the Palestinian Authority, and their tourism industry, their right to exploit West Bank tourist sites to benefit the Palestinian economy. Take notice my fellow citizens. These types of developments will come back and bite you as Palestinians move towards reluctant recognition of a defacto single state and will eventually abandon their historic compromise and demand equal citizenship. |
