The hands conduct war

Provocative Ma'aleh Adumim land confiscation lays bare the government intentions. In government of the two Ehuds, the mouth speaks peace, the hands conduct war and oppression.

"In the government of the two Ehuds, the mouth of Ehud Olmert spews peace cliches in highly-publicized meetings with Abu Mazen, but the hands of Ehud Barak conduct ceaseless war and oppression: night raids and detentions deep into the Palestinian cities, daily killings in the Gaza Strip and outright rejection of any Palestinian cease-fire proposal, and ceaseless extension of settlements and robbery of Palestinian lands" says Gush Shalom, the Israeli Peace Bloc.

"The latest example is the confiscation of 1100 dunums of the lands of Abu Dis, Arab al-Sawahra, Nebi Musa and Talhin Alhamar. Not only does this confiscation directly rob many villagers of their sole livelihood, but its main purpose is to facilitate the big annexation plan known as 'E-1', which is aimed at linking the settlement of Ma'aleh Adumim with Jerusalem and cut the West Bank in two. 

The present confiscations are aimed at constructing 'a Palestinian bypass road' which would push the Palestinian traffic between Bethlehem and Ramallah deep into the desert and effectively bar them from the central part of the West Bank. With such policies enacted by the government, the famous Annapolis Conference is emptied of all meaning, long before it convenes."
