Is anyone really surprised? This is what’s referred to as “The Jewish Double Standard.” We condemn Iran and North Korea for violations of International Law but allow Israel to steal Palestinian land and build illegal settlements which is a direct violation of the Geneva Accords and International Law.

Israel and the United States have reached an agreement allowing Tel Aviv to build about 2,500 housing units already under construction in West Bank settlements, a leading Israeli newspaper reported on Wednesday. The deal was secured during a meeting held earlier this week between Israeli Defence Minister Ehud Barak and US Middle East envoy George Mitchell, reported Maariv daily. According to the deal, Israel would be enabled to continue work on some 700 buildings already under construction on the occupied Palestinian territory, or about 2,500 units.
