No one, unless addicted to warped thinking, can find any equivalence between the illegal Arab houses in East Jerusalem, and the illegal Jewish houses in the West Bank.
In East Jerusalem, Jewish settlers are illegally imposed on the indigenous population by foreign occupation forces No such thing can be said about its Palestinian inhabitants.
This is why Hillary will never "come out strongly against the demolition of Jewish homes" in the West Bank. As much as it may chagrin you.
"The General Assembly, [...] Having considered the report of the Secretary-General, Reiterates its determination that any actions taken by Israel to impose its laws, jurisdiction and administration on the Holy City of Jerusalem are illegal and therefore null and void and have no validity whatsoever." The UN General Assembly Draft Resolution on Jerusalem, November 30, 2004. http://www.miftah.org/Display.cfm?DocId=5726&CategoryId=9 |
