Although the government’s decision to release 104 security prisoners ahead of the resumption of peace talks with the Palestinians was resentfully accepted by Habayit Hayehudi, behind the party’s decision to stay in the coalition, despite bitter objections by its members, is an agreement between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Housing and Construction Uri Ariel. Hebrew daily “Ma’ariv” reports that, under the agreement, Israel will unfreeze building plans for thousands of housing units in Judea and Samaria in exchange for keeping Habayit Hayehudi in the coalition.
According to “Ma’ariv”, top sources in Habayit Hayehudi said that Netanyahu and Ariel had a secret dialogue through sealed envelopes. In this dialogue, they agreed to unfreeze building plans for projects, mainly in settlement blocs and in Jerusalem, in exchange for the decision to release the Palestinian terrorists getting through the coalition and the government.
“Ma’ariv” reports that plans for the construction of 1,000 housing units will be approved soon, and plans for an additional 3,500-4,500 housing units will be approved in the coming months. Sources in Habayit Hayehudi said that party chairman Minister of the Economy Naftali Bennett was involved in the contacts, and calmed party members, saying that he doubted that the new talks with the Palestinians would lead to a diplomatic agreement, so there was no point in threatening to quit the government.
Ariel’s bureau told “Ma’ariv” in response, “Minister Ariel constantly holds meetings, discussions, and correspondence with the Prime Minister’s Bureau to find solutions for the housing market in all parts of the Land of Israel, including Jerusalem and Judea and Samaria. The minister has always demanded, since taking up his post, that construction in Jerusalem and in Judea and Samaria should be allowed, and is working to this end.”
A hint at this agreement can be seen in the speech by MK Ayalet Shaked (Habayit Hayehudi) from the Knesset podium on Monday, when she turned to the Palestinians and said, “I see your celebrations in Ramallah. Take them (the prisoners who will be released). That is what you look like. This is our partner.
“You should know that for each murderer who will be released we will build scores of homes in Judea and Samaria,” Shaked said. “That is how it has worked since the dawn of Zionism: we build and they kill. Each of us does what he knows how to do.”
@ bernard ross:
Point was to show the financial cost of removing only the outlying settlements not including the major settlement blocks or Jerusalem
Israel doesn’t have spare $80 billion or more. Can’t see Europe or the States coming up with that kind of money on short notice
I wouldn’t waste one minute on my time debating with you, Quigley, you fringe. Get lost.
M Dervolin writes this perverted stuff
Trotskyism may indeed be driven off this site but Trotskyism will never be destroyed. The reason being that it takes lies from a Fascist like you to try to do so.
So some evidence Dervolin that Trotsky betrayed his friends and family. Where, when and your sources?

“Trotsky is so much dust in the wind.’
So true. Trotskyism is like dog-shit: it dries up and blows away. Quigley is trying to adopt the ideology of a man who betrayed all his friends, even his own family in the end. There’s enough of that going on in Israel already without the foolishness of the outdated, asinine ideology of Trotsky. I cannot wait till this idiot takes his leave of this page. Go back to Ireland (or Cuba), you mesmerized, brain-dead fool.

You claim to be the expert on the Jews not me. So YOU tell ME why you might think the US might want to destroy the Jews.
YOU tell ME why.
After all you have set up as a defender of the Jews against Trotskyism
(The answer by the way is that the US must have Jerusalem, that is own it by proxies, and the proxies in this case are the Muslim Brotherhood. For that there must be another Holocaust of the Jews and the Jews driven out as before)
This means that your material peddled here is nonsense. The US is backing Iran to the very hilt.
You seem to ignore that Obama sided with the regime against the protesters in 2009. Your political line is actually in direct conflict with Pamela Geller and Robert Spencer on this very issue.
What is Trotskyism? Better what is Trotskyism today because Trotskyism is not a dead dogma? It is http://www.4international.me and http://www.themarxistbblog.com and http://www.stopcrueltytodogsinspain.wordpress.com

SEQUOYAH (GEORGE GUESS), the only American Indian to be included in the hall of fame in Washington, was a silversmith by trade, the son of Wataugan Nathaniel Gist (1733-1796) by his mixed blood wife known as Wurteh (“Girty”). The Gists were a Baltimore family of Jews with important trading concerns. Joseph Gist, a London relative, headed one of the largest shipping insurance companies in the world. They married with the Howards, Looneys, Murrays, Gratzes and Coopers. http://www.melungeons.com/articles/images/moseslooneyfromwandabuss_small.jpg
MOSES LOONEY (1780-1855) He married Sequoyah’s niece, Mary Guess. He descends from Robert Looney of Ballagilley, Isle of Man, a member of the Spanish-Portuguese Jewish mercantile family Luna. Robert Looney brought his entire family to Philadelphia in 1732 and they became one of 70 families in a major settlement of the Virginia uplands under Alexander Ross and Morgan Bryan in 1735. The Looneys were prominent in Tennessee history for building forts, making roads and commanding armies. John Looney, Moses’ cousin, died a Cherokee chief.

The animal may be permitted under the laws of Kashrut but hunting not, certainly not for vicarious sport. You would first need to trap the animal humanely and then slaughter the animal according to the laws of Kashrut. That’s a tough requirement, so hunting or the murder of animals is not permitted to Jews. A clean shot to the brain by a high powered weapon and ammo is at best serendipitous and cannot as a rule be allowed.
In Judaism all life is holy and has value. I would kill an enemy but not an animal.

Honeybee,
Even if he frequently disagrees with me, I will say on behalf of Yamit that he doesn’t write with a forked keyboard. So if he thinks he has evidence the Cherokee tribe has some Jewish ancestors, kol haKavod, as they would say in Jerusalem. Moreover, they ought to be able to go on aliya to Israel if they want to make a big deal out of being Jewish. They would make fine Jewish settlers in Shomron and Yehuda, and they wouldn’t take any bullshit from any Arab who tried stabbing them or even just throwing rocks at their cars.

Your little 3-point buck and your little doe will be thinking shortly about a roll in the hay and giving birth to Bambi. I keep a lot of guns around, and I’m a well-trained shooter. But their main purpose is target shooting and protection against two-legged predators. Even though the Croats know how to cook up a first-rate venison stew. I suppose it would classify as kosher, because there’s no pork or shellfish involved. But I don’t know much about the formal rules of kashrut, and I suppose some rabbinical authority would tell me the animal must be slaughtered in such a way that it doesn’t suffer as you do him in. Actually, I would think a 30 caliber high velocity rifle slug in the brain would involve less suffering than slitting its throat. But who can argue with folks who know all the answers before they know the question?

Since your dad was or is Jewish (maybe he’s still alive and with you in good health), I rate you as a member in good standing of the Jewish nation. My way of telling who’s a Jew is the simple question of whether they Gestapo gas-chamber brigade would have killed you for it. Maybe the Swedes aren’t as picky about who’s a Swede.
You’re right about Andy Jackson. That man screwed the Cherokee nation, up down and sideways, during the time of the Trail of Tears. But think of it as Oklahoma’s gain and South Carolina’s, Georgia’s and Florida’s loss. One of the most wondrous Americans whom I have read about was Sequoiya. Here’s what Wikipedia has on him:
Tell your best friend, who also is a Cherokee, that there’s a rural Jewish pale-face living up in southern Wisconsin whose wife, a Croatian, Jewish and American of good standing, has spent many decades studying historial linquistics development. Among other things, she knows a lot more about the history of the native North American tribes than anybody else I know of.
I think I read in one of your comments that you’re a Texan. Stefi and I have traveled through Texas on many a road or rail trip, and being there made us feel good. For whatever that’s worth. Too bad she doesn’t let me eat much TexMex chili with the appropriate hot spices anymore.

@ honeybee:
Honeybee, your comments seem to favor a combination of common sense and dry humor of the kind I’ve grown fond of over a long lifetime. You can’t really win arguments with some of the folks who inhabit this blogsite. They argue furiously, never consider anyone else’s point of view, and whine endlessly about the unfairness of it all, as a substitute for organizing on behalf of the kinds of political change that Israel and the Jewish nation so greatly need.
In fact, I think that the path Israel follows under its present government parallels what I think are the idiocies of entrenched and destructive liberalism in the USA.
I served this country three years in uniform when I was an 18-year-old. And I never forgot or regretted that. Which I suppose makes me a sort of patriot. Except that the country I served seems to have fallen into the grip of a multi-fanged perversity that is overwhelming all of us. Too bad. We really had a greatest generation more than once. I wonder what James Madison — who steered our Constitution into being, Andrew Jackson, Abe Lincoln, Sam Grant, Teddy Roosevelt and Ike Eisenhower would say if they could come back to life.
So what got you involved with Israpundit? My connection is based solely on my being a distant rural American part of the Jewish nation, who lived and studied in Israel for almost two years back in the early 1970s. What’s your attachment, if any?

Felix Quigley Said:
I did not say they will be succesful. However, consider that it may not be necessary to bring down the regime but to embroil it in chaos like in syria. Last time it was only the leftist dissidents with no GCC money behind it. Here are possible segments which may be used: Kurds, AQ, azeris(25% of population), Baluchis. If they can activate all using money and jihadis they can engage iran in conflict. Perhaps they will attack under this scenario, perhaps they want israel to attack for them under this scenario, perhaps there is no scenario and everything is a series of odd coincidences.

Felix Quigley Said:

Felix Quigley Said:
Over the last six months at least I have been explaining why on this forum. Here in a nutshell is the overall, for the details you must go back and read. GCC/sauds/qatar have been working cooperatively with the US in funding, sending, training sunni jihadis to Syria. GCC and US have been allied and cooperating for decades. GCC is frightened of Iran and has joined with the US against it. Many unexplainable occurence can be explained if this premise is used. As to exactly their plan against Iran I do not know, I am not clairvoyant. However I believe that weakening of the proxies and destabilization of Iran is either part or all of their plan. As to whether they will be successful in their endeavor,I do not know, but I believe this is the endeavor. I also believe that various aspects of the so-called peace process and actions of GOI might be explained in this context. It is a dangerous game which ca backfire but I beleive it is their game. so far it explains many things to me, perhaps you see things different, but no need for twiested knickers.

MORE COMPLETE AND UTTER NONSENSE FROM ROSS. WILL IT NEVER END?
This exchange has just taken place and where is the sense?
IN THE ABOVE I HAVE PLACED THE WORD ROSS AT THE BEGINNING OF HIS ANSWERS
I REPLY NOW TO ROSS
Ross I am totally mystified as to what you are talking about. Even some of your terms I do not get such as “provies” in the above. Who are the “provies”?as in “in return he is reducing blowback from provies”
Perhaps Ross you should take a holiday and get your mind together.
It seems from the above that you believe that the US is planning to undermine the Iranian Government. Why do you think this?
Further on this are you suggesting that the US plans to undermine the Iranian Fascist Government so that it is overthrown by the Iranian populace.
Ross we have been there before. There was an Uprising against the Regime but as Pamela Geller has continually pointed out the Obama Regime sided with the Mullahs and against the people. So what ARE you talking about?
Ross are you suggesting that the US Government is planning to undermine the Mullah Regime in some way so that it will be overthrown and thus war is not necessary. This presumes that the US Government is not on the side of the Mullah Government in Iran.
Ross are you suggesting that the US Government is planning to undermine the Mullah Regime and then the US Government plans to destroy the Nuclear Bomb of Iran IF THAT DOES NOT WORK.
It does not seem to enter your brain that the US Government is in support of the Iranian Bomb, because the US Government sees the main threat to its interests worldwide (remember Hitler and Mein Kamph) AS BEING THE JEWS AND THEIR JEWISH STATE OF ISRAEL.
So your whole political line on this issue of Iran and the US is confusing in the extreme. Especially it is confusing to Jews who need to see clearly what is in front of them.
@ honeybee:
Honeybee, there already are well over 100 comments on this thread. So you may not even see my answer to your question about old times in the Quad Cities.
My patriarchal grandparents came to the Quad Cities along the Mississippi River in Illnois and Iowa back in the late 1880s, insofar as I know. My grandfather may have arrived in this country at a port of entry in Texas or Louisiana, and possibly traveled north on a paddle-wheel riverboat, of the kind Mark Twain worked on during his youth.
I recall my parents driving our family to Rock Island and Davenport for a visit when I was 11 years old at the end of World War II. My dad had cousins in Rock Island, the most important of whom was a big-time wholesale liquor dealer. He also drove us to a secluded spot along a Mississippi River backwater channel where he, his numerous brothers, and some of their friends would dive into the channel and use it as a big nature’s-own swimming pool. One of our mornings there, we all rode across the river to the Davenport side on an old-fashioned river ferryboat.
That sort of exhausts my limited store of knowledge about the Harris family’s Twin Cities connections. Did nay of these folks know or interact with your family in the Twin Cities? Possibly yes but probably no. Anyway, that’s the most accurate and honest answer I can give you, Honeybee.

yamit82 Said:
In my past posts I gave the same reason as the possible basis for the coup: that Morsi may have been looking to infringe on the army’s economic turf and push them out of power. this explains the personal motivations of the army but the fast action of the GCC finance indicates they were part of the coup therefore I believe that there was something more connected with morsi and his associates rather than the MB or islamism as a whole. it is possible that the hamas iran connection of the prior month may have connection with Morsi. In other words they may have discovered that morsi, in spite of MB supporting the sunni jihad in syria, was pulling some sort of double cross. that part sounds far out, but I think there is something about morsi we dont know. It appears that the GCC sees the army as more cooperative.
