U.S. consultant offers to help fight settlement freeze for $300k

I meant shekel. One to two thousand shekels for a "freeze-buster". http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/spages/1145240.html

And they're much, much cheaper. Instantly collapsible and set-up-againable, they cost 1 to 2 thousand dollars apiece and, I believe, are the answer to living in the Middle East. Let's all go back to being nomads. Neutralizes the ethnic cleansing debate entirely, much safer in earthquakes and other natural disasters. (Wunderground announces a flood here? Pick up and go there). Finkelstein go sell a pig in a poke somewhere else. We don't need you here.

we will see you will laugh last:) Israel is on the patch of self destruct

Is a proud American! I see what Israel is doing no need to hire anyone to change my mind!! Is time for Israel to follow the law like any other country if they want to fit in with the world!! People getting tired of Israel rouge attitude!!

Helen, your shaking head is preventing you from seeing this correctly. Yes, Israel get money. Why don't you mention ALL the others who get money, too. Start with the PA, Egypt, Jordan. Oops, forgot them (your head was shaking). Israel gives the US a substantial return for this money, something the others don't. Giving the money to the PA (Arafat etc..) is like lighting a match to it. Poof, it is gone. As to your other point, the reality is the Palestinians have fought "back" long before 1967. It was their actions to constantly destroy Israel that led to them losing the West Bank. Then again, Helen, it was the JORDANIANS who lost the land in '67, where do you get your info that it was the Palestinians. And nobody FORCED themselves on anybody. Had there been no '67 War, this discussion wouldn't be taking place. Oh, forgot, you head is shaking. Come on, REALLY !!!

Better invest $300,000 in concrete & rebars. This can build the new Jewish village in Judea!

are beginning to believe their own statements. Personally I hope he gets the money---if someone is dumb enough to give it to him. Of course we all know this is just more propaganda based on lies. No moey willcahnge hands---just friends helping friends. All playing their assigned roles.

Perhaps in return for a lowered fee, the settlers can give Finkelstein some tips on how to shoot and m-16, or most effectively burn a mosque, or even how to persuade young religious women to go and clash with border police. In his whole life, I doubt Finkelstein motivated as much insanity as the settlers have been able to, why would anyone want to hire him? Oh yeah, he's not a consultant, he's soliciting a bribe to try to complete an illegal deal.

And all this time, I thought we had something special between us. Oi Oi Vey, Vey

I bet he's guaranteeing it will be over by October. And for only $300K!

Which is more illegal in this looking glass world, the freeze or the settlements? Can some smart lawyer enlighten me, without the astronomical fee?

certainly with all the moeny you are getting from the outside world, you could afford such a man. isrl the worlds largest welfare state on the planet. they get money for arms while 10s of millions are starving. this truly is a wicked world we live in. can someone tell me exactly how building more settlements on pals lands is in the road map to peace? yoiu force yourselves on the pals and when they fight you back they are the terrorists? come on . REALLY!! do you still wonder why you are hated so much?

Forst of allit is inmaterial if the man is close to Netanyahu,since there appears to be no issue with the PM wanting to secure settlements,so he'll require no convincing. What the Yeshiva Councilnees is someone who knows how to persuade the rest of the world to get on board with Israel. As we all know, hasbara for Israel has never gotten off the ground. This is because no one understands that in order to truly bridge the gap, the MoFA must do the unthinkable and hire people with one foot in the other camp--in other words, Americans whomay or may not be Jewish. Until that happens, the Palestinians who already take HUGE advantage of this gold mine of public relations will carry on with royally kicking Israel's image. The Finkelstein idea is a waste of money. Who's he going to convince besides the people already convinced?
