'British Israel Group' is an unfortunate title as it implies connections with the spurious British/Israel teaching which <br />declares that the British nation traces its ancestry to the tribes of Israel. You might want to change it.<br />Russell S.

There’s now a widespread view in such circles that if the settlers are attacked, they’re just getting what’s coming to them for living in “illegal” settlements.<br /><br />This is all about truth and justice. Whether Israel should give up or hold onto any or all of Judea & Samaria, which were illegally occupied by Jordan in 1948, is another matter altogether.<br /><br />The Jews are entitled to settle in the disputed areas: entitled legally (San Remo, Versaille, UN Article 80 and resolution 242), historically and morally. Whether they are wise to do so is a different issue, but that’s a matter for Israel to decide. With the uncertainty of what is going on in the area, it would be suicide to do so at this juncture. <br /><br />The false claim that the settlements are illegal is designed only to delegitimize Israel and destroy its defenses.<br />BIG Diaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854054844661553191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9217383935363686517.post-47599429705255242632015-01-25T12:34:42.122-08:002015-01-25T12:34:42.122-08:00What an eye opener but the west will never believe...What an eye opener but the west will never believe it!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9217383935363686517.post-6270584336886998772015-01-24T13:20:32.270-08:002015-01-24T13:20:32.270-08:00Hmmm. to be honest I haven't trusted BIG press...Hmmm. to be honest I haven't trusted BIG press releases since I saw one in Nov. 04 saying settlements were only built on unwanted unused land. This was in a flat in Gilo. I didn't like to say that Gilo was in effect a settlement in the occupied West Bank, albeit annexed, and definitely not remote on unwanted. No doubt some Palestinians have joined IS just as Britons have. But no immediate danger and the IDF and Israeli policies do far more damage than good in our search for peace.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
